SHEL Sensor H&T WIFI TF wh

Product Information

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.

Motion-controlled lights - Shelly Plus Add-on can also be connected to a PIR sensor to light up rooms that you occasionally use around the house. This way, when you enter the room, the light will come on for as long as you need it to. binsensors/room_z/switch.yaml # Online - platform: mqtt name: "Room Z - switch" payload_on: true payload_off: false state_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/online" json_attributes_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/info" # Switch 1 - platform: mqtt name: "Room Z - switch - switch 1" expire_after: 604800 qos: 1 payload_on: 1 payload_off: 0 state_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/input/0" # Switch 2 - platform: mqtt name: "Room Z - switch - switch 2" expire_after: 604800 qos: 1 payload_on: 1 payload_off: 0 state_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/input/1" # Switch 3 - platform: mqtt name: "Room Z - switch - switch 3" expire_after: 604800 qos: 1 payload_on: 1 payload_off: 0 state_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/input/2" # Firmware upgrade - platform: mqtt name: "Room Z - switch - firmware" state_topic: "shellies/shellyix3-[SHELLY ID]/announce" value_template: "{{ value_json.new_fw }}" payload_on: true payload_off: false Shelly Plug (S) ¶ Shelly H&T has an embedded Web Interface, which can be used to monitor and control the device, as well as adjust its settings. However, it’s just a matter of setting the correct platform and/or adding the config in the right file for your Shelly to be configured as switch, cover, … Shelly relays (1, 1PM, 1L, 2.5) ¶

The Shelly Plug S added a temperature sensor and overtemperature warning, which the Shelly Plug doesn’t.

It automatically recognizes new Shelly devices talking to the MQTT broker (after the Shelly’s been configured to use MQTT) and creates devices and entities for each of them. Shelly Plus Add-on (the Device) is a galvanically isolated sensor interface to the Shelly Plus devices. Main applications Shelly H&T can be accessed, controlled, and monitored remotely from any place where the User has internet connectivity, as long as the device is connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Internet. Since a Shelly relay (e.g. Shelly 1 or 2.5) only supports on/off toggling, so it doesn’t really matter whether it’s configured as a light or a switch. sensor.room_z_switch_input_1 - sensor.room_z_switch_input_2 - sensor.room_z_switch_input_3 - binary_sensor.room_z_switch - binary_sensor.room_z_switch_switch_1 - binary_sensor.room_z_switch_switch_2 - binary_sensor.room_z_switch_switch_3 - binary_sensor.room_z_switch_firmware Customisations ¶ Icons ¶Turn the cheapest heaters into the smartest devices with Shelly Humidity & Temperature Sensor and Shelly Plug - you can automatically control any electric heater. 365-Day History For an introduction on MQTT for Shelly devices, see my blog post: Getting started with MQTT and Home Assistant (and Shelly). shellies-discovery ¶ There are two generations of devices. Both generations are supported by this integration. There are some differences in how devices should be configured and in the naming of entities and devices between generations. Shelly device configuration (generation 1) 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.

Home Assistant will display a repair issue for the Shelly device if push updates from this device do not reach the Home Assistant server.

I could see this sensor being useful for those working from home. You could plug it in overnight and monitor the air quality, temperature, and humidity while you sleep, and in the morning, place it on your desk. The CO2, PM2.5, and PM10 readings will give you an extra insight as to when your window should be opened.

HomeKit News is not in any way afflilated or endorsed by Apple Inc. or any subsidiary companies related to Apple. These binary sensors allow you to create automations for a long-push on the connected button, but also give you some insights on the device state.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 Home Assistant is running as a virtual machine or service on an operating system other than Home Assistant OS, you should open UDP port 5683 on the device’s firewall and/or ensure that communication from this port is redirected to the Home Assistant service. When you’re working with MQTT in Home Assistant, you’ll know that it does require some manual configuration.
