device is already owned by another user

  • Hi all,

    I've got the problem where my Shelly v3 cant be added because of the "device is already owned by another user" problem.

    I know there is a fix for this problem but I just cant get is to work.

    What I did so far in this order,

    - Connected to the shelly using the web interface

    - Connected the shelly to my wifi network

    - Got the new internal IP (197.168.0.179)

    - connected to the new internal ip adres and did a firmware update

    - stil not possible to add the shelly

    - Found this page for the ID collisson "Instruction to update firmware in case with ID collision"

    - used this URL to update the shelly with the ID problem firmware "http://192.168.0.179/ota?url=http:/…tch1_longid.zip"

    - I get the following message (within a second) "

    Code
    {"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"20230503-095514/v1.13.0-g9aed950","old_version":"20200114-153732/1085-ota-firmware-for-conflicting-devices@2509ea67"}"

    - Did the factory reset

    These steps should solve the problem, but I still connect add the shelly to my shelly cloud.

    Can anyone please help me out here because I am getting utterly frustrated....... :) :(

    Thanks in advance!!

  • Please open a service ticket, indicate the ID of the suspicious Shelly device and ask for removal of the device from any foreign cloud! This should be happen within 48 hours (average)…
