Python Plugin: Shelly MQTT

[damyano]

Hey!
I have got problem with shelly RGBW2 in domoticz. When I change state in shelly's http page, it works fine and i can see change in domoticz. When I try to on/off switch in domoticz, it doesnt work.

Any idea what could be the reason ?

Make sure, that the appropriate shelly device is enabled in the Domoticz device page, as status updates works in its disabled state, but sending commands do not.
If this is not the problem, please post a verbose event log, when you try to change i from Domoticz, which contains the sent commands and mqtt lines.

[damyano]

Thanks for answear. I have only one shelly device, so it must be this one.
When I try to on/off in domoticz , the logs look like that:

I have learned from the above line that:
1. You are using 4xWhite channel mode
2. Only the last Channel 3 is not working, Channel 0-1-2 works fine. (You do not specifically write it, but i tried out and this is the case...)

In todays commit this bug is fixed.

[damyano]

That's true Now it works well! Thanks!

SHelly just publish a new API through their cloud. Could be interesting to have the plugin using it instead of MQTT (which work great) in order to keep the cloud available on the app (with MQTT, you lose cloud access)

... (with MQTT, you lose cloud access)

Noted, and I am very happy without cloud-things in my home.

I do agree, I am just afraid that they do not continue MQTT in the future

I do not afraid of that, MQTT is the only thing that makes Shelly a viable option instead a Sonoff.
If they ever drop MQTT, most users will flash Tasmota onto Shelly devices... and the sales will drop favoring the Sonoff.

Strange thing going on.
Stopped Domoticz
Cloned the repository in my domoticz/plugins folder.
Started Domoticz.

No trace of the Shelly_MQTT in the hardware. Other plugins show up just fine.

I do not afraid of that, MQTT is the only thing that makes Shelly a viable option instead a Sonoff.
If they ever drop MQTT, most users will flash Tasmota onto Shelly devices... and the sales will drop favoring the Sonoff.

Very happy with my Shellys flashed with Tasmota - solid (so far!)
- they are then consistent with my Sonoffs.

[snellejellep]

any signs of the new shelly devices being implemented in the plugin?

[darrepac]

I have an issue with a Plug S and the last day graph. It should come from the plugin as it is plug and play: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... =6&t=29496

everything was working well but now, nothing work good (bad energy display)

Edit: Everything is working now ok, I think it is due to the reset of the device once you unplug it

[scsmloni]

On my fresh installed domoticz on Debian 9.9 with python3.5 installed as per domoticz pyhton installation guide, when i add the Shelly MQTT hardware, domoticz stops working with the following error

Hello everyone
a strange thing happens to me, I created a Scene group that turns on and off some of the lights switches it works normally but in the log of each switch it is reported (date is time and on) for switching on, but for switching off it is reported (date is time " empty field).
This does not affect web domoticz, but on the Domoticz App the lights that should be turned off remain on.
I would say that the devices used for the lights are shellys managed by the Shelly_MQTT plugin, which, however, by acting directly on a single device on domoticz in the log is written on and off regularly.
Other dummy devices do not have this problem.
Do you have an idea how you can solve it?

The version of domoticz I am using is Beta 4.11333 on raspberry Pi,

Then try to install any other Python plugin for testing your python environment. There are several exception handling lines in my plugin.py and this error messages not coming from it. "ImportError" suggests that maybe some core python library is not available.

A verbose log would be very helpful about what is happening in the background. I can only guess that shellymqtt waits "on" or "off" commands only from Domoticz, and something else arrives...

I can only implement shelly devices that i own. But as it is open source everyone has the freedom to implement it.. or send me one device to implement it! https://bitekmindenhol.blog.hu/2019/05/02/support_236
