Setting for air condition (AC)? Pulse with auto off but not return to the original status in HomeKit

[AlvaroLopezCarrillo]

Hello. I have doubts when configuring shelly 1 to simulate a press of the ON/OFF button of the thermostat of my wall air conditioner.

I currently have a shelly 1 but I did not program it and I need to change it because it is dead.

I need to simulate a press (1 second) BUT I want that in homekit the new state does not go back with the auto-off after 1 second, because the air conditioner will be in that new status.

Is this possible? Thanks!

No. Not in switch mode.

And maybe a little bit:

If you configure this as garage door you can have and configure the pulses. But you will not have state.
The problem is that you have no way of keeping/syncing state if there is no feedback.

So while theoretically this could be added a feature it will not really make sense. If you are away from home and your device incorrectly reboots/or somebody uses another switch you have no way of knowing the current state?

Hi,

I currently have it like this, I don't know how the person who sold me this shelly programmed it but I don't have his contact and the shelly doesn't work after 3 or 4 years.

I only want 1 pulse to simulate a button press (for example a switch that returns to off in 1 second) but I want the status not to change to off in the home app.

If the light goes out one day in the house it doesn't matter, I manually set the status in the home app.

So this is not currently possible?

Thank you very much!

Hello again.

I'm sorry to answer again but do you think an update with this would be possible?

Maybe something as easy as a check so that the auto-off after 1 second does not change the status to off?

This would be valid for any device that turns on with a press of 1 second and you want to maintain the status in the home app.

Thank you!
