### Note for Shelly power meters
Shelly devices require an internet connection to sync the time for the total energy counters to work. The timeserver can be configured in the devices webinterface.
### Note regarding firmware updates
Some shelly devices get sold with an old firmware version installed. Some functionality will be missing. Since some point in 2021, shelly devices need to connect to the shelly cloud once to pull firmware updates. So please enable cloud access in the settings under "Internet & Security" -> "Cloud" and wait a few minutes.
If no update does show up, you can force an OTA update by calling the url in your browser generated by (http://archive.shelly-tools.de/). Open that page, provide your devices local ip, select your device and the required version. Copy the generated OTA url in your browser and press return. The new firmware version should then show up in the shelly devices webpage under "Settings" -> "Firmware update".
