Axel Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 So, I bought a ShellyBlu button1 on a whim and didn't research enough. I was planning to use it with a Shelly Plus Plug S, as I read it needed a Plus device to act as a Bluetooth gateway. Now it seems that it wasn't enough, and that you need a wired device to be the gateway. Or am I misunderstanding something? The app says "missing Bluetooth gateway" although Bluetooth is turned on on the plug and within distance. I have a couple old shelly1 installed in locations that could have good reach for where I'm planning to use the remote. Can I replace those with Shelly Plus 1 Mini to make it work? Or maybe they are also not enough? Can't find other documentation than a Plus device is needed. My use case is I want to unlock a garage door, a non-shelly device, with the help of Home Assistant.

Administrators Olsche Posted November 9, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2023 Have you assigned a gateway to the BLU Button1? You can set in the edit menu in the App: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 And the plug has Bluetooth enabled, but there's no option for gateway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Olsche Posted November 10, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 10, 2023 Which firmware is installed on the PlusPlugS? Normally there should be more options available in the Bluetooth menu: Check also WEB-UI: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 This was indeed the issue. I thought I had checked the firmware, but there was an available update. Thanks a lot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
