That’s not an open ecosystem, that’s just a yet to be closed and monetized system.
At the moment of purchase one year ago they had an open API and a webserver on each relay to use them without apps (they still have it… for now?). I could just type the relay IP address on my browser and control it without proprietary apps.
I loved this openness so much that I put them everywhere in my house. Then this surprise update came today on my phone…

I see, typical trap from this fuckers. You can use this as an opportunity to learn to flash firmwares to things and to not trust proprietary software, specially nothing in the cloud for your home automation

My brother in Christ, if you have Shelly why don’t you just run HomeAssistant which controls them locally? www.home-assistant.io/integrations/shelly/
Why would you ever hand some server on the internet control of your own fucking home?!
