I've been singing the praises of #Shelly as a company as I've had good luck with some of the Shelly Plus 2 PM relays, but I've not had such good luck with their smart plugs. I have two plugs stuck in some weird state. They're showing as unavailable in #HomeAssistant. During that troubleshooting, I realized they had updated their app. Ok, no problem. I'll get the new one, but I couldn't log into the new app with the old credentials. Ok, I'll create a new account on the new platform, but now I can't import my devices as they say they're associated with another account.Well, that sucks, but fine, let's just reset the devices to factory. But even after they're still associated with the other account... I presume on Shelly Cloud or whatever they call their dumb thing.I've mentioned a few times here how I have struggled with ESPHome devices because I don't think I'm quite managing things correctly. At least ESP Home is 100% fully local—no 3rd party app is required. No account. My devices don't get registered with the mothership.All that to say, I'm going to take a closer look at #KaufHA plugs for smart plugs, and probably #Zooz relays for relay applications.

@michaelharley You don't need to use the app for Shelly? I've even disabled this completely and am only using the MQTT integration locally.

@jan how do you join devices to your wifi network? Admittedly, I didn't look very hard but I don't see a way to bypass the sign-in screen of the app.

@michaelharley I believe my plugs (shelly plug s) originally set up a wifi access point when they're unconfigured, so I connected to that, and set the IP using the integrated web interface.

@michaelharley When you power up in Shelly-devices for the first time, they will create a local access point where you can connect to, and connect to the devices HTTP-server. You can configure the device to be entirely "offline" :)
