Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 Zigbee Smart Switch
Expert Take
The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 Zigbee Smart Switch suffers from a critical firmware/software issue where the device fails to enter Zigbee pairing mode when following the official manual's 5x reset button sequence. This prevents the core functionality from working, making the device unusable for its intended purpose despite button presses registering in the diagnostics console.
