[@GregHensh]

Thanks for quick response. Will try and let you know if it works

[@neilbrookins8428]

At 13:28 you showed the wiring for Shelly 1 on a garage door. I looked at that and thought, “I have everything in that picture already. I can make this without buying anything.” So I immediately built the circuit- twice since I have two garages. And it all worked. Nice! I should also comment that I’m using the stock factory firmware and home assistant with Shelly for hass integration. It all works great. I needed to set the switch mode to “disconnected” and the auto off to 1 second in the firmware menu. Also the power loss setting to “off” for after power is restored. Then I added an automation for when the state changes of the switch to send a notification to my phone saying the door just opened. This is fun to get these things working.

[@digiblurDIY]

Always different ways to do things in this hobby. Glad I was able to help a bit.

[@hamhumtube]

stock firmware keeps disconnecting from wifi. fyi.

[@neilbrookins8428]

hamhumtube sometimes WiFi issues are caused by the router and not the iot device. I know my thermostat was constantly disconnecting from WiFi and I replaced my router with a different brand and it’s worked reliably ever since.

[@hamhumtube]

@@neilbrookins8428 yes i agree. but disconnecting problem of shelly 1's is a known issue. i have seen many threads over forums. and flashing is cheaper instead of buying new router.

[@digiblurDIY]

Can't say I have seen people say it is a known issue and I know quite a few that have the Shelly1 including myself.

[@johnstewart6716]

Thanks for video, flashed Shelly EM OTA, and it worked great. Stock Shelly firmware produces inaccurate power and voltage measuremenst. Tasmota now quite accurate. Doing Shelly 1 PM next.

[@digiblurDIY]

One of the many features we can tweak and do.

[@w00master]

GREAT video. I actually did this today with my newly tasmotized Shelly 1! One thing I'd like to point out is that just like the instruction in changing switchmode2 1 to switchmode1 2, be sure to update the Rules from switch2 to switch1. Thanks for the great instructions. Learned so much from this project!!

[@digiblurDIY]

Yes, very much so. I'll be sure to make a note of it in the blog post about it.

[@GeoffAumaugher]

Just bought my first set of 8 Shelly 1's. The first one I tried to flash didn't work. It's bricked now so I'm going to try and flash it the old fashioned way. However, the next one I did I made sure to update the firmware first by connecting to it through a browser. Once done, I flashed using the OTA method described in your video and the other 7 worked great!!! Thanks!!!

[@DanBurgaud]

My Shelly1 is stuck at "The Magic"... It did have the latest shelly firmware "20210429-100340/v1.10.4-g3f94cd7". it musta be bricked now :( Were you able to flash it using old fashion wires?

[@digiblurDIY]

A couple things it does require the ability to reach the URL of the firmware. If not you can always use the manual method of wires. The only time the manual method of wires doesn't work is if you let the magic smoke out of the chip via some physical means.

[@DanBurgaud]

​@@digiblurDIY I went and wired flashed it. Device is not bricked. However, I could only flash an old 6.3.0 version. And no matter how I tried to Upgrade Firmware from within Tasmota, I would end up with *Upload buffer miscompare* or another hang. I OTA flashed a 2nd Shelly1. Almost same thing. Device rebooted once (on the 2nd minute mark) but nothing followed after 30+ mins. I power cycle the device and it reconnected to my Wifi network. Its web interface displayed files and folders; one of the file is "wifiresetdata". Accessing it via *shellyIP/wifiresetdata* reset the device and it is back at 7:00 "Tasmota connecting". 2nd Shelly1 is running firmware 9.5.0 Did I not wait long enough? 30mins not long enough for it to OTA flash?

[@digiblurDIY]

Sounds like you have some bad files. If you are flashing via wire then that's full power over the chip. You can flash whatever you want. If it is not flashing via OTA then it sounds like you have an internet issue.

[@rodstephens6612]

Thanks mate! Really prefer not having to open up the devices when there is an easier way. Nice demonstration.

[@digiblurDIY]

Totally agree! Love OTA upgrades to open source!

[@texasflooddk]

Great video. I doubted if this would work here in 10-2022 on a newly bought Shelly Plug S, but it did. Thanks a lot for this video 👍

[@digiblurDIY]

Nice! Thanks for the confirmation!

[@ftrava8792]

Travis the Yellow and red wires on your drawing (the one which goes to the button) have supply coming out from them when triggered. Roller doors normally need a quick short so it means you are putting DC across the contacts. Plus my reed doesn't work.

[@digiblurDIY]

The Shelly1 is a dry contact relay so it isn't putting anything across except what is already there by design of the original opener. The pulse time makes a short burst just like a button press.

[@ftrava8792]

@@digiblurDIY Thank you. I had a better look and the pins are not the same as shelly1. One other thing the reed isn’t working is there something I need to change output

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

This is cool. I have a box of Shellys I need to flash. Almost makes it too easy. The header is a bugger to flash using resistor leads. 11:40 likely explains why the Anbes I tried to upgrade is soft-bricked.

This prevents the older versions being written.

Great video. Glad to see the shellys are flashable w/o resorting to the USB uart...

[@romanykemp9042]

Went thru this procedure for two shelly 1 that I purchased almost 2 years ago and have never used. No issues...

[@photogtrav]

I was able to use this method but had some trouble initially. My Shelly 1 would not download the firmware from the author's provided links. Finally I enabled the built-in apache service on MacOS and downloaded the firmware from my own local server. For some reason hosting the firmware on my own local network worked fine.

[@digiblurDIY]

Interesting... I tried one a couple weeks ago and it worked. No firewall blocking issues?

[@photogtrav]

@@digiblurDIY I have a firewall on my desktop computer, but not on the network. There shouldn't be anything blocking a WiFi device from accessing the internet. Also, the Shelly accessed the internet to download Shelly firmware.

[@DanielsGameVault]

I guess if I flash Tasmota to it, it will no longer work with the stock Shelly app on my phones...?

[@digiblurDIY]

Correct. If you want their app/cloud then by all means leave it stock. No worries there.

[@jefflambert4243]

Very cool. On a side note there isn’t a template for the dimmer. Found out how to flash the stock firmware back the hard way after flushing to tasmota and then finding out there isn’t a template. Search for a template before flashing!

[@digiblurDIY]

I haven't heard or seen that one yet. If it is indeed the new esp32 plus series, I only know of manually flashing at this point. The switchbot over the air plugs might be better option at this point.

[@sparq9358]

Thanks for taking the time to make this simple video tutorial! My first Shelly 1 is still on the way and this is likely a dumb question...do I have to power it with 110V to flash or can I use low voltage as well? If so...why did you choose 110? Thanks!

[@digiblurDIY]

I might have said 110 but I guess technically 120v here, but it is whatever mains powered is. You can just low voltage off the pins but at that point you might as well just serial flash it. If you do the DC wiring on the terminals and follow the jumper wiring diagram you can also do the OTA that way. Doesn't matter how you power it as long as you do it.

[@sparqify]

@@digiblurDIY Thank you! Appreciate the additional info!

It would only be trash if you physically smoked it by shorting it out. If the upgrade failed or was interrupted you can recover it via the header pins and a serial TTL adapter.

Ok, I have a problem using this method. Everything went ok but the switches(relays) don't work. I updated a Shelly 2.5 UK, the firmware process went in fine, watched it reboot a few times. I then configured the device with the Shelly 2.5 template (in Other). I even have the device connecting fine to my HASS through MQTT but when I click on the Toggle Switches 1 and 2, I don't hear the relays. Fortunately, this device is accessible so I can hear the relays don't even toggle. This Shelly is/was functionally fine too, was working just before the OTA firmware switch to Tasmota. Sorry for the long message but I thought I'd try an pre-empt any question marks over the process and the operability of the Shelly prior to OTA.

[@digiblurDIY]

I have a Shelly 2.5 here. This template is on it and running 9.2 of Tasmota.bin (make sure you are not using Tasmota- lite). If you need to update yours to the latest put this in the OTA upgrade URL field and hit the button and give it time to do the upgrade - ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/tasmota.bin If it still is stuck, use the Discord link and we can further look at why yours is not working.

How long does it take to flash. I have been waiting 15 minutes but it still says "updating"

Hey Travis, Last night I flashed my Shelly 2.5 to tasmota this way. I did the update, all went good, as I was checking the configuration I noticed all that was on the main page was, the temperature and the 2 buttons no information like voltage, amp draw, any Ideas? I did use the right file and template. also no mqtt for energy just switch on off

[@derricklayne1365]

well after about 4 hours of working with it and rebooting it about 20 times. I unplugged it came back later plugged it in and everything was there.

[@digiblurDIY]

Maybe it wasn't updated or the template wasn't enabled?

[@healeydave]

I have this exact same problem today with a Shelly 2.5. There is no power information after the temperature and the two Toggle Buttons. The buttons don't work either, you can see actions appearing in the console but you can't hear the relays click. I have pasted the 2.5 template and clicked activate but when the unit reboots, its exactly the same. I physically power off the device and done loads of soft reboots, so I wonder how yours started working??

[@hassanibakary8042]

can i hard reset , shelly after flash with tasmota?

I was able to use the link you referenced to flash the shelly plus 1. Everything was working fine until I initiated number 10 on the list (starting the safeboot conversion by hitting the start migration. Nothing after that looks like it went silent. I can see the wifi signal referencing tasmota but it time out on 192.168.4.1. Is it DOA? Can I flash it the old fashion way? Thanks in advance for your help.BTW Love your videos.

Yes you can still flash them via the pins on the bottom. I've done some later ones on that but if you want super simple someone made a flasher and cable for these new Plus line. www.tindie.com/products/voltlog/voltlink-cp2102n-usb-serial-adapter-programmer/

Quick question have you or anyone else noticed constant reboots? I'm at 78 reboots never stays up more than about 5 hours. Also once the device completely restored itself and was in access point mode all settings gone with no warning. Did the setup again and I started monitoring reboots and temp. I have an automation set to let me know if it gets above 80c also when it goes unavailable from home assistant. I'm not sure what's going on. Any advice would be great thanks again

I used the mg2tasmota-Shelly1 .zip on my Shelly 1 v3 and it never came back, I got the confirmation that it was going to do the update, waited 10 minutes and then no Tasmota wifi, neither could not get back from the IP it had, in which it was a static IP, any ideas?

[@digiblurDIY]

You try this part? If the download fails, or your internet connection is disrupted, simply turn the device off and on again, the intermediate firmware will retry until it succeeds. In the unlikely event that the WIFI credentials are wrong, the device will try to connect to a backup WIFI with SSID mgos-recover and password RJoPuKC3u5, which you can use for recovery.

You can go the manual way via the pin headers. Nothing wrong with MQTT. I use that with Esphome.
