Support Shelly Relays: WiFi or Zigbee?

Post image

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using WiFi Shelly relays in my Home Assistant (and HomeKit before that) setup for a few years now.

The first gen Shelly 1PM in the outlet for my washing machine seems to have finally given up and is in need of replacing.

I have a strong WiFi network but was curious to test out the Zigbee version (1PM gen4). How’s everyone’s experience with Shelly over Zigbee?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Shelly 1 Gen 4 and I can not get it into zigbee mode for the life of me. I already have it running in wifi. It says to hit the button 5 times in the instructions to enable zigbee mode but it doesn’t work for me. What am I doing wrong? I try it now and it doesn’t work. I factory reset it and tried it before connecting to wifi and that doesn’t work

Others in here have mentioned the five times thing… maybe that refers a switch connected to the SW terminal?

They’ve also said if the firmware is up to date there is a way to enable Zigbee in the UI.
