Hi I have installed half a dozen Shelly 1PM Mini units around the house and they do work well. I’ve not had one fall off the wifi, and they are great with HomeAssistant. I use InfluxDB to capture data from HomeAssistant and do calculations and aggregations in the DB to get overall costs of devices. I also use HomeAssistant to automate the relays so lights come on at night etc.
Installation is a bit tricky so I tend to use IP64 rated enclosures rather than leave them in the drywall like the website says you can. I also find the mains cables a bit thick to go into the terminals and adding ferrules would make it impossible. Other than that I think they’re great.
