    I think the issue is something to do with CoIoT, DNS or SNTP. I changed SNTP to uk.pool.ntp.org put in a DNS address and disabled CoIoT and it's been rock steady since. I don't want to experiment by changing things now that I've got it working but I'll see how long it lasts.

    • Shelly Typ: Shelly 2.5
    • Device Mode (if Shelly Type is Shelly 2.5 )
      Relay
    • Firmware Version:20210429-100559/v1.10.4-g3f94cd7
    • Router or AccessPoint: Mercusys Halo S12
    • Static IP or DHCP: Tried both makes no difference

    Have 6 2.5s but only 2 of them give this problem. No problem with Shelly 1s, DM or PMs

    They appear in the device list on the mesh system. Will reappear if I power off then will drop off

    Read somewhere that mesh systems may not like mDNS and mesh switchig to another hub but that ould affect all the Shellies wouldn't it.

    You can mount the Shelly1 above the ceiling rose.

    Only do this if you're confident with electricity and switch the power off at the fusebox.

    You need to take short leads from live and neutral in the rose to L & N on the Shelly1. Remove the feed which is on the live side of the bulb and connect to SW on the Shelly1 and take a lead from O to where you've just taken the wire from. You also need a short link from L to I. Switch the power back on and it should work.

    You don't need to do anything with the switches but I have replaced all my light switches with 'retractive' ones (like bell pushes rather than switches - available from Toolstation or ScrewFix). The reason for that is that the switches and Shelly1 get out of sync if you switch it using the app or HA software - ie the lamp is off but the switch is on.
