Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with updating Shelly devices, specifically the Shelly Blu Button 1. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I managed to figure it out! 
A few days ago, I noticed that my Shelly Blu Buttons were acting up. They wouldn’t connect properly, and the firmware update process was giving me a hard time. I tried updating through the Shelly app, but it kept failing. After some research, I found out that this isn’t an isolated issue. Many users have faced similar problems, especially with the newer firmware versions. 
The solution? A slow and steady approach. First, I had to remove the battery for at least 10 minutes. Then, I used the Shelly BLE Debug App to manually reset the device. It took a couple of tries, but eventually, the update went through! 
I also learned a valuable lesson: never perform firmware updates casually. Always ensure the device is in a stable state and follow the manufacturer’s instructions meticulously. It might take a bit longer, but it’s worth it to avoid any potential issues. 
For anyone else dealing with Shelly devices, here are a few tips:
- Always back up your current settings before updating.
- If the update fails, try resetting the device and starting fresh.
- Don’t hesitate to reach out to Shelly support if you’re stuck. They’re really responsive!
Overall, it was a frustrating but enlightening experience. I’m now more confident in handling my Shelly devices, and I hope this helps someone else avoid the same headaches!
