Sign up with GoogleI also stagger startup because my pc is old and slow. Starting up HA, deepstack, Plex etc slows it down too much and can cause issues. Also had some problems with HA starting before the switches were on the network and then they missed their startup states.

How about an automation that shuts down right before load shedding ?
I have that for a few load shedding problematic devices.

I have full house solar, but if that fails, also have a 600w secondary inverter with 100ah battery as backup inverter for the server cabinet. Keeps internet on 24/7 even through loadshedding including home assistant.
If house lose power, only non-network devices go down. Has happened actually. Had workers in the garden hit the power line to the outbuilding causing everything on backup side of solar to drop. Internet at least then kept going since both me and wife work from home. Backup is essential.
I treat loadshedding as power outages now. Its a given that it will happen.

Currently have a inverter for the router switch aps and cameras. I guess I should dump the PC on there and automate the shutting down once LS hits.
Did a new VM with a restore snapshot. Mosquito and Pai are broken. Need to fix that first.
Seems to be a common problem looking at this. Try some of the fixes in there?

Anyone used it very simple way to create a reverse VPN into your network.

Took 5 minutes and it works. This should negate the need for Duckdns and opening ports

Thanks for the plug @alqassam
This is amazing. Have always been put off by the whole DuckDNS process, this was easy to set up. Now I don't have to route through Telegram anymore. ThanksTailscale

Was previously using l2tp on Unifi but android 12 killed it and found this today.
Now I can login to my server at home and tinker while I'm supposed to be working.
Just being able to log into HA while away from home is a bonus. I have been adding some functionality to a Telegram bot but this is much better. Can also add my server PC I suppose?
If it were me I would "rewire/reconfigure" how these switches work.
I know shelly and sonoff mini devices are designed to fit behind light switches, but i use none of mine that way, I prefer having them in the roof, they get better wifi reception and I can run cat 5 down to the switches.
I see no reason you cant have 2 "dimmer style" switches connected in parallel to a single shelly for 2 way switching, as long as the shelly is configure for One Button mode, the changes of both being in the "closed"pressed" state at the same time is very low and shouldnt have an effect either way, as they are closing the same circuit.
A modified connection diagram as for clarification

Yes just click the subnet option in the online portal.
As long as both switches are non-locking...
Thanks for clarifying my crude description for those that are unaware what "dimmer style" switches are.
