Shelly Dimmer 2 API: what's the difference between "loaderror" and "overload"?

joseLRD

The API documentation for the Dimmer 2 states:

`loaderror`	bool	Whether a load error has occurred
`overload`	bool	Whether an overload condition has occurred

In my case, I'm getting sporadic ERROR 1 problems on two of my Dimmer2 shellies.

When this error occurs (1 every 10 tries), it's usually a few seconds after turning the wall switch ON.

At this moment the lamp goes OFF and the web GUI shows "ERROR 1".

Using the HTTP REST API I (<ip_address>/status) immediately after the error I also see:

Code

"overtemperature":false,"loaderror":1,"overpower":false

Pressing the wall switch once more resets the error and the light goes ON.

What does "loaderror", "overload" and "overpower" exactly mean ?

What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks!
