I recently purchased the Shelly Plus Plug S and integrated it into my smart home setup. Initially, everything worked smoothly, but I encountered an unexpected issue: energy peaks every 120 seconds even when the device was off. This was puzzling and a bit concerning, as it seemed like the device wasn’t fully shutting down. After some research and trial and error, I discovered that this behavior could be related to the device’s firmware or configuration settings. Here’s what I did to resolve the issue: 1. Firmware Update: I checked for the latest firmware updates for the Shelly Plus Plug S. Updating the firmware to the latest version seemed to stabilize the device’s behavior, though the issue persisted initially. 2. Internal Schedule Testing: I disconnected the device from my Home Assistant setup and tested it using the internal schedule feature. Unfortunately, the energy peaks still occurred, indicating the problem wasn’t with my HA configuration. 3. Reboot and Reset: I performed a hard reboot of the device and even did a factory reset. This temporarily resolved the issue, but it resurfaced after a few hours. 4. Custom Configuration: I reached out to the community and found that adjusting the device’s power management settings could help. By tweaking the standby current and power saving modes, I was able to minimize the energy peaks significantly. 5. Final Solution: The key was to use a combination of the latest firmware and careful configuration. I also ensured that the device wasn’t connected to any power-saving plugins that might interfere with its operation. Tips for Others: - Always check for firmware updates first. - Test the device independently of your smart home system to isolate the issue. - Don’t hesitate to reach out to the community forums for advice. This experience taught me the importance of thorough testing and configuration when integrating new smart devices. The Shelly Plus Plug S is a fantastic device once everything is set up correctly, and I’m happy to share my journey in case it helps others avoid similar headaches!
