Shelly 2.5 will not downgrade from 1.9.3 to 1.8.3

  • Hi,

    I am using the Shelly Firmware Archive to try to downgrade one of my Shelly 2.5 to firmware version 1.8.3.

    I have tried it 3 times now, even after factory restoring the device as well and every time, the Shelly reboots with firmware version 1.9.3.

  • I have problem downgrade from 1.9.4 to back 1.77 because this one is working with homebridge (homekit) without problems.

    my URL : http://192.168.68.104/ota?url=http:/…SW-25_build.zip

    response :

    Code
    {"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"20210115-103025/v1.9.4@e2732e05","old_version":"20210115-103025/v1.9.4@e2732e05","beta_version":"20210209-101632/v1.10.0-rc2-g0cf9ee3-heads/v1.10.0-rc2"} 


    no version1.7.7

  • I had a problem also to downgrade a Shelly 2.5 to FW 1.8.3 with the url ota method ip/ota?.... linked to the firmware archive.
    (had this done without any problem several times before on other Shellys )

    Got it finally, with a solution i dont understand.
    My configuration FB 7560 , AVM Repeater 600 (Mesh), Medion Powerline wlan.

    The Shelly with downgrade problems was always connected to the repeater and i was not able to ota downgrade it.

    Finally i disconnected the Shelly from the repeater and connected it to the powerline wlan. The downgrade worked afterwards.(Maybe it worked also if i was able to connect it directly to the FB)
    So it seems there are some problems to make the ota process work if the Shelly is connected to the repeater in my configuration.
    Maybe there is some missconfiguration in my setup.

    So it is maybe worth a try to have the Shelly not connected through a repeater for problems with url ota up/downgrading.
