Control Button Mode

As a cover controller Shelly Device can work in 3 modes: Single, Dual or Detached.

  • Single:

    • If the input is configured as a Button, each button press cycles Open-Stop-Close-Stop.

    • If the input is configured as a Switch, each switch toggle cycles Open-Stop-Close-Stop.

  • Dual:
    If the inputs are configured as buttons:

    • Pressing a button when the cover is static, moves the cover in the corresponding direction until the endpoint is reached.

    • Pressing the button for the same direction while the cover is moving, stops the cover.

    • Pressing the button for the opposite direction, while the cover is moving, reverses the cover movement until the endpoint is reached.

    If the inputs are configured as switches in dual input mode:

    • Turning a switch on moves the cover in the corresponding direction until an endpoint is reached.

    • Turning the switch off stops the cover movement.

    • If both switches are turned on, Shelly Plus 2PM will respect the last engaged switch. Turning off the last engaged switch stops the cover movement, even if the other switch is still on. To move the cover in the opposite direction, the other switch has to be turned off and on again.

  • Detached:
    In this mode, the Shelly Device can only be controlled wirelessly. Even if buttons or switches are connected to the Device, they will not be allowed to control the cover movement in detached mode.
