    Hello, I have Samsung S7 with Android 8 and my phone has hardware back button. Shelly app is ignoring this button and only software back arrow works. This is new because I always used to go back using the button.

    From the hw point of view, the button is just fine, this is just a software issue on Shelly side. Any reason what might have caused this?

    Hi, I couldn't find relevant info anywhere - what are the voltage ranges for shelly1? I have 12V DIN PSU with variable voltage ranging from 10,5V-13,8V. I've tried 13,8V and so far shelly is working, but is this sustainable or will I fry it over time? Thanks for any info

    Hi, I just updated my shelly app on my phone, and I'm surprised how bad it is... sorry for being harsh from very beginning. Maybe I was just used to the old interface so much... There are few things that I have a problem with right away - a have a shelly1 relay and the on/off button colours do not represent on/off state so explicitly as they did in the old interface. Second - I have shelly H&T and the battery indicator is cut off. I see only the slight beginning of the second 0 of my 100% state. This did not happen in old interface. Third - it's displaying humidity, battery charge and temperature. When i click on the title, the humidity or battery, it opens the detail of the device. This does not work when I click on the temperature. Fourth - in the detail, I can't correlate humidity with temperature (wtf?) , because the app shows only one or the other. Why did you do this?

    I'm not going to list all my problems here, but maybe if you could add the old interface as a skin with the possibility of like displaying humidity and temperature at the same time, etc, that would be great. I guess this is just the beginning of the new app, so good luck.

    Good question, let me explain. I have two disks in a computer, one is main a second is a backup. There is no reason for backup disk to be running all the time. I do my backups only once a few days. Second reason is that only a shutdown disk is truly protected from malware like ransomware. After few years when the main disk is expected to be in trouble of any kind (hardware malfunction, malware, data loss by accident,...) the backup disk will be in better shape overall with less running hours and less spin ups. No brute force turning off is intended.

    I was initially thinking of switching both +5V and +12V rails. I later realized that even reversing polarity would not work because HDD's bolts are grounded.

    Anyway, Shelly 1 can be run with 12V and It could be possible to run/shutdown HDD with switching just one rail (12V for example). But I still want to measure running time and power consumption and just to make sure nothing gets damaged I want to switch both rails.

    Shelly 1PM is probably way to go. I will add a DC-DC converter that will make 24V out of 12V. Then I will be switching both rails with a standard 2pole relay. Sounds complicated, but I guess this is the only way to go.

    Hello. I was wondering if Shelly 2.5 could be used in a computer to switch both 12v and 5v for HDD. This setup would require reversed polarity as official wiring diagram (common ground, not positive) and use of external DC-DC step up bulk converter. Question is, would this setup work?
