Few homes will need it, but the (literal) edge cases are quite intriguing.

    I’ve read Shelly has bad life expectancy. (Don’t know about alternatives)

        Read of a guy who fitted his house with them and had to replace about a third or half after 3-4 years

        Edit: After looking up “Shelly life expectancy” I’ve read more people who lose after 3 years functionality

      I’ve only ever had 1 Shelly go out on me and it’s still installed. It’s a 2.5 that stopped speaking wifi. It was set to detached mode to keep some hue bulbs powered. Now the physical switches are no use but it still works so I just left it for now.

        The warranty doesn’t include the worktime spent to fumble the Shellys out of the wall and back in.
