Note:
Pairing problems can be caused by one of the following:
1. Connecting to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band instead of 2.4 GHz. (Shelly devices work on 2.4 GHz only. We strongly recommend turning off the 5 GHz band during setup.)
2. Content filtering (such as Rimon Internet). You can contact your provider and ask them to open these ports:

  • http – port 80
  • https – port 443
  • tcp6021
  • DNS (udp53)
  • NTP (tcp123 / udp123)

3. Your internet provider’s firewall: ask them to open the ports above
