Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of Shelly smart switches and wanted to share my latest project. I’ve successfully set up my Shelly switches to automate my home lighting system, and it’s been a game-changer! 
One thing I’ve been experimenting with is creating a multi-button press feature. I’ve managed to configure my front door switch so that pressing it three times turns off all the lights in the house. It’s a handy feature, especially when I’m heading out for the night. I used the Shelly app’s built-in automation tools and a bit of trial and error to get it working smoothly. If anyone else is looking to do something similar, I’d be happy to share the steps I took!
On another note, I’ve been having some fun with my Wyze outdoor cameras. They’ve been a great addition to my home security setup, but I’ve noticed that their battery life isn’t as impressive as I hoped. After doing a bit of research, I discovered that keeping the cameras in livestream mode drains the battery faster. Wyze support mentioned that this is intentional to conserve battery life, but it’s a bit frustrating since livestream is one of the main features I wanted. I’ve adjusted the settings to balance battery life and functionality, and it’s working much better now.
For anyone else dealing with camera battery issues, I’d recommend checking the manufacturer’s settings and seeing if there are any optimizations you can make. It might not be a perfect solution, but it helps extend the battery life significantly.
If you’ve got any tips or tricks for optimizing Shelly switch automations or camera battery life, I’d love to hear them! Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out.
