fyi
UPDATE: Firmware 1.8.3 is released for all main powered devices.
What issues we are resolve with it:
CoAP status delay is resolved. Now maximum delay time between status change and report is 200 miliseconds.
UPDATE: Firmware 1.8.2 is released for RGBW2, Door Window , Door Window 2 and Dimmer 2
What issues we are resolve with it:
Shelly RGBW2:
• Status led light control is added - in 1.8.0 this feature do not work for this device.
• Default power state do not work correct if switch type are set to “Edge”.
Shely Door Window/Door Window 2:
be sure to wake the device after you make changes to receive them and execute them the next time you wake up.
• Mutly-actions enabled, after update you can set them from Shelly APP - also there is much more possibility than 1.7.x firmware.
• You will have option to disable LUX sensor to wake-up the device. But if the device is trigered from another sensor LUX will be reported.
• DW/2 Fahrenheit Display almost 2x Correct Value. This is only for costumers which already has firmware 1.8.
Shelly Dimmer2
• Overheating value do now show correctly - “Overheating null C” - fixed.
UPDATE: Firmware 1.8.1 is relesed for Shelly EM and 3EM. This hot fix resolve issue with wrong calculation of total consumed energy.
Firmware 1.8 is a majorly significant update on all Shelly devices and the first to release on our agenda. Thank you to all our developers, QA team, and you guys who helped us test it before its release!
Let’s break it down!
New features and bug fixes for all Shelly devices
• All disconnection problem which need to reboot the device is gone! - we’ve integrated the newest Wi-Fi SDK and LwIP stack
• Multiple actions - 1. up to 5 actions for all devices are added. Be careful in case the requests to the chosen server are slow, as this could affect the normal operation of the device. Each URL allows up to 256 characters. In terms of battery devices, performing many actions will affect battery life because wake-up time will be longer.
• Channel and devices labels in internal WebUI will be sync with Application names - if you want to disable this option and have different names in device WebUI and the App, you can disable this option from “Device settings” in the App. Otherwise, each time you open the app, the name of the device and channels in WebUI will be synced with the given names in the app.
• BETA firmware for all - when released for testing, everyone can try it and report any issues. This option is available from your device WebUI under the option “Firmware update”. You can switch back to the latest stable version anytime!
• Open Wi-Fi network supported - you can now connect your Shelly devices to an open-access network. We however, advise you to set a password for your devices and do not connect them to unprotected Wi-Fi network, otherwise, everyone in the same network can control them.
• Relays: Show source of last command - if your device state is changing whitout a reason you can see from where the command is comming. You can find this information In http://deviceIP/status “source”: “input”
cloud, http for HTTP commands, mqtt, input for physical input events, schedule and sun events, timer for auto_on/auto_off and one-time flip-back timers
• Status light disable - an option to disable status LED on all devices, as per your frequent request for this feature.
• Overconsumption value - if your device switches off because the maximum consumption value is reached, you can now check the precise value in the App and WebUI.
• CoAP - the UDP protocol is re-written from scratch and is much more consistent and bug-free.
• Setting static ip leads to crash - sometimes, devices crashed when the cloud is disabled and Static IP is set together with MQTT. Bug is fixed!
• Total power not calculated without being connected to internet - Fixed, now total power is calculated also when device is not connected to the internet.
• Local actions don’t work when device login is restricted - Fixed
• MQTT: Add model identifier to announce packet - Now that the topic prefix is customizable, it is not trivial to figure out the model of a device over MQTT. Add model key with SHXXX-N model identifier. This is called type in the /shelly HTTP endpoint.
New features and bug fixes per device
• Shelly EM and 3EM - 1. issues with sending data to the cloud and store energy data. We changed the file system to resolve this issue. Attention: All data stored in the device will be deleted, while data stored in the cloud will be not affected.
• H&T, Flood and Smoke battery level - 1. we’ve made improvements in calculating the precise battery level for these devices. After updating, you can now view a low battery level.
• Door/Door2 Disable LUX sensor - to improve your device’s battery life, you can disable the LUX sensor. Data from the sensor will be reported together with other events, but the device will not wake-up from it.
• Dimmer - many improvements regarding compatibility with different dimmable loads.
• Shelly1/Shelly1PM Temperature Add-On - treshold to reports is set to 0.1 degree instead 0.5 before that.
• All bettery operated devices - Battery drain fast in case of missing Wi-Fi coverage. Issue fixed, however, battery-operated devices will not support the Backup Wi-Fi network. Will be improved with the next firmware.
• Shelly Gas can control wired Valve to open and close ligud or gas pipes. More information will be add in www.shelly.cloud and compatible valves will be soon on-stock.
• Shelly Dimmer/Dimmer 2 - New rest command for brightness. The new endpoints by REST and MQTT is:
dim=up - increse brigthess.
dim=down - decrease brigthess
dim=stop - stop executing up or down commands.
dim=cycle- Up/Stop/Down/stop/…sequence
• Shelly Flood - temperature ofset is added
These are not all the advances we’ve made, yet they are the main ones added in Firmware 1.8.
Enjoy with Shelly
