Pull request overview
Adds user-facing documentation for the Shelly S4PL-00416EU device page to explain and mitigate reports of sockets switching off unexpectedly after power events.
Changes:
- Adds a new “Unexpected switch-off after reboot or power loss” note to the device’s hand-editable Notes section.
- Documents the expected fix via the
power_on_behaviorsetting (restore previous state).
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
| Reportedly, the device is frequently publishing status updates to the network [GitHub issue](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/30544), [Shelly community](https://community.shelly.cloud/topic/11528-zigbee-network-instability-flooding-with-two%C2%A0shelly-power-strip-4-gen4%C2%A0zigbee2mqtt-cc2652p7/). Depending on your network and the number of Shelly power strips, this may cause instabilities. In that case, try modifying the reporting settings or enable debouncing as described [here](https://github.com/maxim-mityutko/hass/blob/38341583e521ed77459e5974e02b1e6d44ff1f5a/docs/tests/shelly-power-strip-4-gen4.md). | ||

| ### Unexpected switch-off after reboot or power loss | ||
| By default, the sockets turn **off** after any reboot or power loss, which can look like the strip "randomly" switching off (see this [Shelly community thread](https://community.shelly.cloud/topic/11999-unexpected-switch-off/)). To have sockets restore their previous state instead, set `power_on_behavior` to `previous` on each socket. The setting is saved on the device and persists across reboots. |

Add note about unexpected switch-off on Shelly Power Strip 4 Gen4
Adds a Notes section entry to the S4PL-00416EU device page explaining:
power_on_behaviorexpose (set toprevious).Companion PR
This depends on the converter PR adding the expose: Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters#12086
The auto-generated sections of the device page (Exposes table, "Power on behavior (enum, N endpoint)" sections, etc.) will be regenerated by docgen after the converter PR is merged and a new release is published — this PR only edits the hand-editable
## Notessection.
