    Well, you could set your phone to Tether to share internet through WiFi

    If you place your phone in WiFi Tethermode, with the same AP/password as your internet normally has, the shelly will connect to your phone, and you should be able to address it

    Or you could even program a 2nd SSID in your shelly, like "Emergency_Access", and put this as Tether in your phone.

    As it normally does not exists, Shelly would only ever go to the 1st AP.

    Until the 1st AP is gone, and you activate the emergency one from your phone.

    Note however, if your Shelly lost power, until your Shelly connects to either 1st or 2nd AP, it would not know the time, and thus would not run your temperature schedule

    So, this was originally the reason why I used custom firmware, and I had really thought it would have been solved by now.

    But it seems Shelly is still not handling a daily timer correctly when sunset/sunrise is involved.

    Or rather, it handles it exactly as specified, which is not a very useful way, especially not when you live in higher latitudes.

    Unless if I am missing some scene possibilities. Please advise.

    Here is the setup:

    On at 06h00

    Off at sunrise

    On at sunset

    Off at 23h59 (this would be the "easy" version, I really want off at Off at 01h00)

    As a human, it is obvious/implied that with this schedule, if the sun rises or or before 06h00, it should not turn on at all.

    Instead, it turns on, and never turns off.

    And same for the sunset, if sunset past midnight (yes, these devices are in Sweden, it happens!) it should also never turn on.

    Again, instead in summer it is on all night.

    Only in Winter is this working correctly.

    Is there a way in Shelly1 to do this, that I did not consider?

    Ideally on the device itself, so it works without need of centralised server.


    In the custom firmware, I forked and build some intelligence, that considered the timers in pairs.

    But really, it means I am the only one that can handle them, I would really like to go to native firmware.


    BTW: I also solved the past/before midnight issue, by considering the sunrise/sunset to be possible in a 00h00 to +29h00 timespan rather then only 00h00 to 24h00

    But again, I would ideally like to get rid of having to maintain my custom firmware.


    PS: I did search, found other post with similar question, but there was no solution in those post.

    Thanks, I try today on a test device.

    Edit: Works perfectly. Thanks

    Now to make sure Shelly cloud does everything I want it to do, in a way I can explain to non-technical users, and I can do all of them.

    So I have been a long time user of Shelly 1, I have about 20 or so, going back to hardware version 1.

    Until recently they were all running Tasmota, because in those early days, that did what I wanted, and I just kept doing the same.

    Currently Shelly firmware also seems to do what I want, but with a much more non-tech-user friendly interface

    And I am thinking of reverting them all to Shelly OS

    I know how to do that wired up to the TTL-Serial. I remember even saving an original image before I flashed Tasmota.

    However, I would very much prefer doing it without having to climb up, on, under all the places I have mounted them, to remove them, flash them, and then climbing up,on, under those places again to put them back.

    Shelly did not happen to make a Tasmota compatible "coming home" firmware? Some bootstrap OTA (Over the Air) minimised firmware that I can flash into Tasmota remotely, and that then allows allows me to flash proper Shelly firmware? Similar to Tasmota "minimal image" but for Shelly?

    I notice on the wiring diagram for the Pro 4PM that each relay output seems to have its own L (Life/Hot) wire. This seems to hint at the fact these may be separated from the rest of the ciquit. Maybe only a bridge rectifyer toward Neutral to siphon of some supply current, but this would be to Neutral, so all of them 230V

    So, would I be able to control (and measure) items that are on different phases with a single 4-switch Pro 4PM

    Actual use case would be our campground, where each spot has a 1-phase socket, but alternating spots are on alternating phases

    So we need to measure multiple single phases, all of a fairly low level.

    We could of course use many ShellyPro1PM's, but I was wondering if I could use less Pro4PM

    Hi

    We have about 15 Shelly1 (mix of V1, V2 and V3) operating campground lights

    Using Tasmota, but I think this is not relevant for this question.

    We want to turn off the entire camping circuit lights for the winter, but it can get -15, sometimes even -20 celcius at night.

    I wonder if there is any expectations or knowledge about this. Will the solder joints or electrolytic capacitors suffer?

    Obviously it would it be better keeping them powered, turning off the lights by software, using the standby current of maybe 1W to keep the device slight above surroundings. I've real about theoratical "tin-pest" on modern lead-free. And I guess electrolyte can eventually freeze, though with all the checmicals in there, its probably way lower then 0 celcius.

    But I really rather turn off the entire circuit, anyone has any actual experience in this, for either Shelly specific, or on modern lead-free solder joints or electrolytic capacitors?

    Thanks
