WiFi Feature Request - Shelly should be able to connect to a different (Mesh) router

    Hi, as more and more people use Mesh WiFi networks, meaning several routers in one household, it would be needed that we get an option to "release" a "binding to a certain router" in the settings and that the Shelly device is forced to establish a new connection to the (nearest) router with the strongest signal.

    Currently, many Shelly devices in my setup are connected to far away (Mesh) routers causing connection problems from time to time. Which would not happen, if connected to the nearest and strongest router, I assume.

    So far, I found no reasonable trick (or non at all) to force a Shelly to change to another router (eero Pro 6 in my case). Shelly devices seem to remember (not only the WiFi network, which they should) but also the particular router if there are several of them, like in a Mesh network. Even if rebooted, I believe.

    Thank you!

    P.S.: If you as a Shelly user too are interested in such a feature, you might want consider seconding my feature request, thanks!

    Why is your Mesh System not Managing such a thing?

    Does your Mobile Phone this Option? No!

    But Shelly already has. It‘s called AP-Roaming in Internet Settings, on Gen1 Devices.

    At Gen2 you currently can do this by Api-Call

    Code
    http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/WiFi.SetConfig?config={ roam: { rssi_thr: -70}}

    First of all, it's a feature of the mesh-technolgie afaik.

    Here are >100 devices working in a mesh-system (>90 Shelly). I don't have need a manualy setup.

    The mesh regulates everything to my satisfaction. :) :thumbup:
