I think there may be a misunderstanding. I'm powering the Shelly with 120V AC, but it's simulating a push button switch on its I/O pins using "low voltage" DC (I think it's 20V). This all works fine. The issue is configuring the Shelly to connect to my home wifi.

Thanks. Is this an automated reply?
(B2) I (briefly) reviewed the lexicon and didn't find anything that was very applicable to my problem. Did you have an article in mind? Can you point me to it?
(B6) Did I leave something out of my post?

Hi. I recently purchased several Shelly 1's to automate some low voltage switches around the home. I was able to wire up the shelly and configure it correctly by connecting to its access point, but I can't get it to join my home WiFi. I've also tried using the app to automatically configure the device to join my WiFi, but after the initial detection of the device AP it never is able to join.
I found a similar post on reddit's homeautomation sub that recommended a few things
- Enable cloud mode (some day I want to setup HA, but not today)
- Use a static IP outside the DHCP range
I'm using an earlier iteration of Google WiFi. I have two access points in bridge mode connected by ethernet. I can receive a signal in the location of the shelly on my phone, but it's not super strong, maybe it's a connection strength issue? I'll try bringing it closer to WiFi to see if that makes a difference.
I'm finding troubleshooting difficult because as soon as I configure the shelly to connect to WiFi I lose any connectivity to the device. If I want to try something else I have to reset it and therefore presumably lose any logs or other helpful information about why it can't connect to my WiFi.
Any ideas?
