Manual - Configuration checklist
| Name | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Status | The current devices status. | Here you find the meaning of the symbols. |
| Device | Device id and device name (if configured) or model name. | |
| IP | Current device address. | In case the device is BLU (BTHome) the shown IP is the one of the hosting device; since a BTHome device could be associated to multiple devices an IP list could be shown here; I consider multiple IPs an erros so in this case the list will be shown in red color. |
| Eco | A green tick (✓) is shown if the device is in eco mode, a red ✗ otherwise or - if this option is not available for the device. | The eco mode has no known contraindications, reducing energy consumption eco mode also reduces the operating temperature of the devices extending their life. |
| Led off | A green tick (✓) is shown if onboard led are off, a red ✗ otherwise or - if this option is not available for the device. | Currently this option is only configurable / verified for 1st generation devices; some of these, such as Shelly 1, do not have any leds onboard. |
| Logs | A red tick (✓) is shown for first generation devices il logs are enabled, a green ✗ otherwise. For second generation devices (plus and pro), if log is enabled, a text is shown depending on the type. |
For first generation devices logs activation is harmful as it slows down their response time and reduces their life. For this reason the logs should only be activated in case of troubleshooting. |
| BLE - Bluetooth Low Energy | Second or higher generation devices only; the label OBS is shown if bluetooth is enabled as "observer", a red tick (✓) if bluetooth is enabled, a green ✗ otherwise. | Second generation devices can be reached via bluetooth to speedup the first connection to the network. Most of the time therefore, during normal operation, I sudgest to keep bluetooth off if it is not used to communnicate with other bluetooth devices (observer). |
| AP - Access Point | Second or higher generation devices only; a red tick (✓) is shown if the access point of the device is active and not password protected, an uncolored tick (✓) if the access point of the device is active and password protected, a green ✗ otherwise. | Second generation devices can keep the access point active even when connected to the network; this can give access to anyone who is close enough unless password protection is defined. Active AP is used, for example, together with Range Extender function. | Roam | The threshold value is shown if roaming is active or ✗ if roaming is disabled. | This feature has no reason to be enabled if the LAN has just a single access point. |
| Wi-Fi 1 | The symbol ✓ is shown if wi-fi 1 is enabled and static IP is selected, ✗ is shown il dhcp is selected, - id wi-fi 1 is not enabled. | I'm not a fan of static IP, no green ✓ here; here is my opinion on the subject. |
| Wi-Fi 2 | The symbol ✓ is shown if wi-fi 2 is enabled and static IP is selected, ✗ is shown il dhcp is selected, - id wi-fi 2 is not enabled. | I'm not a fan of static IP, no green ✓ here. Not all shelly devices allow wi-fi 2 connection; when it is possible and you don't use it differently, my advice is to use wi-fi 2 connection for an eventual emergency connection to a mobile hotspot; Shelly Scanner allows to setup such a configuration for all your devices on a single operation. |
| EXT - Range Extender | Second or higher generation devices only; A "-" is shown if this function is not supported; ✗ if is not enabled; the number of connected devices if the range extender is enabled | Range Extender configuration |
| Scripts | Second or higher generation devices only; the number of stored scripts / the number of enabled scripts |
Contextual menu linked to any device (right click on any table cell) will let you modify many of the checked configuration parameters. If multiple devices are selected, modification is enabled only if the parameter you intend to alter has a uniform value.
