Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.4 build 20200221

Hello,

 

couple of days ago I bought the M5 as I have a smart house with Shelly switches spreaded all over and using wifi. 

As a hub I'm using Home Assistant on a rpi3. My M5 is also the router and my modem (DSL-225) is bridged. 
I'm experiencing slowness issues with my Shelly devices on my Home Assistant as it seems the M5 is doing issues with CoAP messaging. I tried playing with the IGMP configuration on M5 with no luck. I get a 30-40 sec delays with my equipment which I didn't have before. 
Can you please help solving the issue?

@Noami It seems to be fixed, received an update yesterday and it seems to be working fine now.

@Noami Hello I experienced the exact same issue with a Deco P7 set. The problem is definitively in the Deco Firmware... as soon as I moved the shellys back to the old router the problem was solved. This is frustrating because I bought the P7 to be able to improve coverage all areas with shellys (IoT switches) in the first place, also the other reason for using the Deco was to support more clients, half of those 50+ wifi clients are shellys.

 

Please fix the CoAP support for your Deco devices. The IGMP setting (only available thorugh the web interface on the Deco) does not seem to make any difference. I have noticed that the CoAP issue does not affect devices connected to the main Deco... only those connected to the other APs.

Thank you @CRLS. This is exactly what I did (connect all to the master) but not what I expected from the mesh. I also bought it to solve the IGMP issue with lots of Shelly components in my house. If I had known I will still have the same issue as before I wouldn't waste so much money on the DECO mesh. Is there an option to open a ticket to TP, so they can fix it?

Another thing I wanted to ask: I want to prevent the Shelly from using the mesh and pair them only to the master. I tried resetting them, disconnecting the slaves of the DECO and pairing the Shelly again and them disable the mesh. But everytime after I reconnect the slaves my Shelly jump back to the slaves instead of the master. Is there a way to prevent it?

@Sholofly I'm talking these days with TP support and tried a beta version they sent me with no luck.

Current option I found for now is connecting all the Shellies to the master node and prevent them from meshing to the slaves.

@Sholofly pair them on the main node while others are disconnected. Then disable their mesh option and only then connect the other nodes to the power.
