I recently bought Shelly 1 Gen4 devices (both Mini and standard) and I’m trying to pair them directly to SmartThings via Zigbee.
Pairing via Matter over Wi-Fi works perfectly out of the box, but I would prefer to use Zigbee instead. I’m based in Europe and using an Aeotec SmartThings hub. The devices are updated to the latest firmware and are intended to control front porch lights with a physical wall switch.
Getting the device into Zigbee mode was already challenging. The manual states that pressing the reset button five times should enable Zigbee pairing, but this never worked for me. I eventually managed to switch to Zigbee mode via the Shelly web interface.
SmartThings then discovers the device as a Zigbee switch, but:
The device cannot be controlled from SmartThings
It does not react to the physical switch input
Enabling Zigbee seems to disable Matter over Wi-Fi, meaning I lose access via the web interface and the Shelly app
Has anyone successfully used Shelly Gen4 devices with SmartThings over Zigbee, or experienced similar issues? Any insights would be appreciated, as Zigbee is my preferred setup for this use case.
Hi, @Dsam
Did you verify these devices are certified as Works With SmartThings (WWST)?
It would be helpful if you shared the fingerprints of the device to see if they’re included in the official driver.
For this, you can go to my.smartthings.com/Advanced, go to the “Devices” section and the manufacturer and model of the device will appear there, you can share a screenshot.
Unfortunately, I deleted and removed the device when I couldn’t get it to work over Zigbee, but I will try to pair it again to get the fingerprints. I assume it needs to be paired over Zigbee in order to get the correct fingerprints?
Yes, you need to add it using the protocol you want to see the fingerprints reported there.
Only the partners that have a WWST certification are allowed to use the SmartThings logo to show it’s compatible, so that’s a good sign.
Also, the device should appear in the SmartThings app Devices catalog when you click on “Add device”, since the certified products’ details (for example: complete model name) are registered during this process but a device can be certified only with a certain protocol, not all the ones it supports, that also depends on what the partner wants.
Checking the Matter-Switch driver, I see there are several fingerprints for Shelly devices:
