While the Shelly devices like 1/1L/1PM/2.5/Plug/Plug_S are in fact “just” relays, the installation posibilities are endless. Irrigation only when needed - Having a beautiful garden is not an easy task and automating your irrigation system can save you time and optimize your costs. Together with a soil moisture sensor, Shelly Plus Add-on can trigger Shelly Plus 1 to turn on the irrigation only when necessary, always skipping the rainy days. Once the Gen 2 become more readily available, and I get my hands on one or more of them, I may make a new post about the changes. Configuration file structure ¶ If Device Name or Channel Name is set in the device, the integration will use them to generate the entities’ name.
The Shelly relays allow you to toggle one or more channels on/off, give you the switch state and may give you info on power consumption and device temperature.These relays can be used to control 2 different loads (e.g. 2 lamps in a room) or to control the up/down motion of rolling shutters. The integration uses Device Name to name its entities if the device has only one relay or no relays at all.
When you’re working with MQTT in Home Assistant, you’ll know that it does require some manual configuration.For generation 2 hardware it’s possible to select if a device’s input is connected to a button or a switch. Binary sensors are created only if the input mode is set to switch. When the input is of type button you need to use events for your automations. Event entities (generation 1)
If you can’t find the CoIoT peer settings in the device’s web panel, it’s probably using an ancient firmware version, and you should update it to the current one. light.room_x_lamp - sensor.room_x_lamp_input - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperature - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperature_f - sensor.room_x_lamp_power - sensor.room_x_lamp_energy - sensor.room_x_lamp_overpower - binary_sensor.room_x_lamp_longpush - binary_sensor.room_x_lamp_switch - binary_sensor.room_x_lamp_overtemp - binary_sensor.room_x_lamp_firmware # External sensors - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperature_0 - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperature_0_f - sensor.room_x_lamp_humidity_0 - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperatures - sensor.room_x_lamp_temperatures_f - sensor.room_x_lamp_humidities # Room Z ## Shelly i3 shelly_room_z_switch:If you’ve been getting seriously into HomeKit, and have found yourself exploring all the possibilities, you’ll quite probably be aware of HomeBridge or HomeAssistant, which for want of a better word, are platforms that allow many non-HomeKit devices to be exposed to HomeKit, albeit unofficially. Now, despite the fact that many of these devices are not officially meant to work with HomeKit, a lot of people love the challenge of ‘shoehorning’ something into Apple’s smart home platform for a variety of reasons, not least for being able to control these devices from the Home app, but also to add functionality to a device that Apple doesn’t currently support, like robot vacuums. Others simply love the hardware they have that doesn’t happen to work with HomeKit, like Nest thermostats or Ring video doorbells. Going one step further, there are some companies, like Sonoff for example, that produce a series of devices that can have firmware added to them to make them HomeKit compatible without even the need for HomeBridge. They’re still not certified of course. One other such company is Shelly, Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, who produce a massive variety of devices, all of which can work with HomeKit via HomeBridge, and even carry ‘official’ support via the HOOBS application, which is in essence, an interface that makes using HomeBridge easier to navigate. sensors/energy/shelly_em.yaml - platform: mqtt name: "EM - Phase A - Energy" value_template: "{{ value|float / 60000 }}" # Wm to kWh unit_of_measurement: 'kWh' expire_after: 86400 device_class: energy state_class: total_increasing qos: 1 state_topic: "shellies/shellyem-
