[Shelly NG] Failed to add discovered device

[MrSteffens]

Hi there,

unfortunately i am getting the error that Shelly NG failed to add discovered devices. They have been connected before but it seems random of when they do. Sometimes I can restart the HB and it just connectes correctly, then other times restarting doesnt help and the error occurs in the terminal over and over. The biggest problem to that is, when it doesn't "add" the device, they are unreachable for HB and homeKit.

Same problem here. On startup of this plugin my wifi network is not yet up. Therefor it only tries to connect to the device once, throws this error and never retries. Manual restart of this plugin fixes it until my raspberry pi and network is restarted - which happens daily on purpose to save electricity when I don’t have any usage.

My config is pretty static, will try to activate mdns:

mDNS does not fix this. It just fails on startup with the mentioned error message and never re-tries! I will look into switching to HomeAssistant I guess.
