Any ideas why Shelly is ignoring the Thread market?

I have already spent quite some money migrating over to Thread (after having a bad experience when my Wifi router went down and all my home automation stopped working) ... and none of that money went to Shelly, although in past I was buying almost exclusively Shelly devices.

I don't understand them.
They already have all the necessary hardware (all of their Zigbee devices are compatible with Thread with just a firmware update), and there's a market and business that they are losing.

What's going on?

P.S. I understand that they have Zigbee, but nobody in 2026 will start a mesh network with a protocol where each vendor is producing slightly incompatible (or vendor locked-in) Zigbee devices so that you have to buy a Zigbee routers for each device vendor. Thread just works.

And again al my Shelly devices are offline. I turned off the main power of the house to install a new Shelly 2pm. Well power on and works like a charm. But… all other Shelly devices are offline now… I guess wil switching power off and on again hoping the come back online or something.

Hi friends.

It's the second time I've experienced that. Half of my shellies (nr.10) have resetted all at the same time, and now I have to reconfigure each.

Anyone knows what causes that or has experienced such a thing?

Hey Guys,
Im currently trying to hook up my new Shelly EM Gen3 with my B2500 Solar Battery but it just doesnt work.

This is what i tried:

RPC over UDP: 2220 and 1010
I turned off all my powerline adaptors so only my routers wifi is active.
Only 2.4ghz band active
Firmware of shelly updated

Im desperate to make this shit work I tried for so many hours now.

Hope anyone can help me.

I have a 43 room hotel and each room has an air-conditioner/heater and a window.  I would like to put a door & window sensor on each window and link it to a Shelly 1PM relay to disable the heat/AC when the window has been left open for (let’s say) more than 10 minutes, and then re-enable it when the window is closed again. Most rooms have 1 window but a handful have two so let’s say we need to monitor 50 pairs/trios of windows sensors and Shelly units.

I bought a Shelly 2PM Gen4 and some Aqara Door/Window Sensors (MCCGQ11LM), and an M200 hub to test with.  To be clear, I have almost no understanding of how zigbee works but my idea was that the window sensors would connect to the shelly units via zigbee, the shelly units would connect together in a mesh and connect all the rooms together, and the hub would be there somewhere in range of one of the Shelly units to link it all into HA so that I could monitor and create automations, etc.  But it seems the Aqara units use a proprietary version of zigbee so that may not work.  Should I go with matter/thread instead (not particularly familiar with that either)?

My tests with one room are working.  However, I don’t know how this will scale.

What I’d like to be able to ensure is that:

-          I don’t create a huge amount of wifi/radio interference (2.4gh or otherwise)

-          the total number of sensors and relays can all be integrated into the one system

-          they will all pair up discretely and not interfere with each other

-          batteries will last a reasonable time

-          they fall back/recover in the case of power outages gracefully

-          they are reliable and they work as expected by guests and hotel staff

-          I was hoping to avoid having to buy more hubs/dongles/proxies (and have the Shelly’s do that part)

Is what I’m trying to do a workable plan?

I found a very informative post in the home assistant community where OP had kindly posted his solution, but my existing wiring is the other UK type where is the one on the left instead of the right on his post (https://www.downlights.co.uk/media/FAQs/wiring-example-2-way-switches.jpg)

I like to install the shelly dimmer gen 4 where I am a bit confused how to wire it. I had searched for hours online and I haven't come across a solution yet.

Ideally I would actually like to put the Shelly controller behind the ceiling rose due to the limited space I have as I actually have two two way switches on the same light switch panel.

Any advice or directions will be much appreciated. Thank you!
