I logged in and it reported overheating. If I tried to turn a switch back on via the Shelly device, it immediately turned it off. If I just run the fan motor it doesn't overheat and draws about 43 watts. Lamps consume

Works HOT! (but still works)

Shelly2.5 gets very hot on both standard Shelly firmware and ESPHome firmware (including GPIO16 Floating Pin Fix). (See attached photos. Read tempo from stock firmware with MQTT, listen, on HA.) I haven't installed it yet, I just connected L and N and plugged it into the box. Ambient temperature 20Β°C, when it is off, the temperature is 65Β°C. When switched on with no load connected, the temperature exceeds 85Β°C. Other people seem to have cooler temperatures when used outside of the case. (I'm in
