Hi everyone,  
I am trying to access Shelly cloud api through my iPhone’s shortcuts application or URL on safari web browser. My target is to turn on the Shelly device.

I’ve seen a post by @ferrarofcfei that was solved by @muneer .However i was not successful in applying the solution.

This is my trial “failed”  
[https://shelly-48-eu.shelly.cloud/device/relay/control?id=441793a....&auth\_key=MTJhMmFhdWlkB7...&channel=0&turn=on](https://shelly-48-eu.shelly.cloud/device/relay/control?id=441793a....&auth_key=MTJhMmFhdWlkB7...&channel=0&turn=on)

I get this response from Safari browser:  
{“isok”:false,“errors”:{“wrong\_channel”:“Could not control this relay channel!”}}

I would appreciate if i could get some support on this.

I found this Italian user community for Shelly that addressed my needs.  
[https://forum.shellyitalia.it/viewtopic.php?t=10810](https://forum.shellyitalia.it/viewtopic.php?t=10810)

After some translating I was able to apply their method and it worked perfectly through iPhone Shortcuts. Here is a snapshot of the steps:

This really made my day. Curtesy to the Italian Shelly User community!
