Python Plugin: Shelly MQTT

[Number8]

FWIW, I setup an Home assistant instance and make then talk to each other using MQTT

Doesn't run on Raspberry Pi OS 11 Bullseye

Hi friend I wanted to tell you that the plugin is not compatible with the new Raspberry Pi OS 11 Bullseye system
for now it only works on Buster
Tested with both the latest stable version of Domoticz and the latest Beta

@Number8: Thx for your hint. Have you installed HA in parallel to Domoticz on the same device (e. g. Raspberry)? Can the existing MQTT Broker work both for Domoticz and HA?

[SavioThecnic]

I am doing various tests
For now HA I'm using it on a different device
However, I confirm MQTT is seen by both Domoticz and HA but I preferred to install it smoothly on the raspberry because under Broker as for Nodered and Influxdb I had problems seeing it then in the network if it was under the HA Broker

I've got HA on a different RasPI3. I've got MQTT broker on another specific RasPI3. Only one broker. Not all eggs in the same basket.

Thx folks! Will give HA on a different RasPi a trial.

I have one Shelly Plus running with Domoticz using the discovery script on the Shelly. But unfortunately it is not a stable solution or a workable solution with Domoticz using this setup. In the last month I lost several times the connection between Domoticz and the Shelly. On the device everything seems to be OK, but on the Domoticz the switch does not work. The only way to fix it is to delete the Shelly Plus device from Domoticz and readd it again... So the Gen2 devices are not really usable for me at this moment using this method

Also; one time the Shelly itself stopped working because of the script that is running on it I think. The script got allot of impact on the device itself I think. The Website on the device was also not accessable, so I needed to cut the power on the Shelly in order to reset things. If this device is behind a wall outlet, it is not something you want to do frequently...

Hi all,

expering strange? behaviour with Shelly Dimmer 2 in Domoticz...

Used software and version:
Domoticz version 2022.1
Shelly MQTT https://github.com/enesbcs/Shelly_MQTT
DZGA Version: 1.10.9 master (DomoticZ Google Assistent) for integration between Domoticz and Google for voice controle

Setup:
Domoticz to integrate multiple hardware vendors and protocols, central home automation control, using smart metering P1, All kinds of Shelly devices, temperature (thermostat), security control, Airco Control, multimedia and weater integration.
Using Shelly MQTT to connect to Shelly devices (DImmer2, Shelly1, Shelly1PM, Shelly 2.5 (blinds control), Shelly Plug-S, etc.
DZGA is used for integration with Google Assistent.

Issue:
Shelly Dimmer2 devices appear in Domoticz as type "Color switch, white, dimmer"

Within DZGA a Shelly Dimmer2 appears as "ColorSwitch":

Shelly Dimmer2_DZGA.png (3.73 KiB) Viewed 3004 times

When looking at the MQTT based on "Zigbee2MQTT Plugin" https://github.com/stas-demydiuk/domoti ... issues/714 then a dimmer shows up as "Light/Switch" and not as "Color Switch".

The Shelly Dimmer2 can only dim lights and has no feature as Color Switch.

When doing a voice command to Google Assistent like "All lights on" this command will activate ALL devices with type "Light" AND "Color Switch", while ONLY should activate type "Light".

Does anyone has a solution for this?
Is it possible to show Shelly Dimmer2 as "Light/Switch" like is done with Zigbee2MQTT instead of "Color Switch"?
Why does Domoticz gets the device type "Color Switch"? Is this being caused by the Shelly MQTT plugin?

I hope somebody can help.

Thanks!

I have very big problems there.
Is it Bullseye or the new MQTT version ?
I have installed this 2 years ago once and everything ran on the first go.
Now I sit hours and hours and do not get it right

[ProjektC]

So now Buster installed but has brought nothing.
listener 1883
removed and then it worked

There are unfortunately many sites that write even with 2.0.11 it must be in.

I have a problem with my blinds that stopt working. I opend a topic in the forum because domoticz changed a lot lately with the blinds. The problem is that i can't controle the blinds anymore but MQTT commands from the blinds to domoticz still work.

So I finally found the issue/error and with some help I managed to fix it!:
2 rows (line 1177+1178) need to be adjusted:

Code: Select all

elif (mqttpath[2] in ["white"]) or ("2LED" in unitname):
              Domoticz.Device(Name=unitname, Unit=iUnit,Type=241, Subtype=3, Switchtype=7, Used=1,DeviceID=unitname).Create() # create Color White device 

and 2 rows (1179 and 1180) need to be added after row 1178:

Code: Select all

elif (mqttpath[2] in ["light"]):
              Domoticz.Device(Name=unitname, Unit=iUnit,Type=244, Subtype=73, Switchtype=7, Used=1,DeviceID=unitname).Create() # create Light Dimmer device 

To all who are using the Shelly MQTT Python script of "enesbcs" and have issues with device type in Domoticz with a Shelly Dimmer2
Copy the code and paste(overwrite+ add) the code in the /domoticz/plugins/Shelly_MQTT/plugin.py file.
Save the file plugin.py file.
Remove the faulty devices in Domoticz
Quickly restart Domoticz service
After some time you will find the new created devices in the device tab with the correct device type "Light/Switch, Switch, Dimmer" instead of "Color Switch".

I tried to contact "enesbcs" but failed, I also tried to do a new pull request on GitHub, but this also failed because it is not supported.

Creating a pull request is supported i think. Tou first have to fork (copy) the repository to your own github, make the changes in your fork and then create the pull request to the original repository of enesbcs.

Found the problem.
Domoticz is sending the command "open" and "close" where ShellyMQTT plugin is expecting "on" and "off". changed "on" and "off" from row 192 until 201.

(the wiki on blinds states 0 an 100 for open and close, that was my first attempt to fix it)

Hi All,

one Question regarding this Plugin and Shelly3EM:
Will there a Power Device created automatically?
In my Setup it creates 3 Devices per Phase:
1 Current in A
2 Voltage in V
3 Powerfactor
But no Device for Power but via mqtt Explorer I can see that the Shelly send all needed data.

What I am doing wrong?
The Plugin is the newest one and Domoticz is Version 2022.1 Stable

[manuloup]

Hi all,

Any hope that the plugin will be updated to recognize the new devices like Shelly 4PM pro or Shelly H&T plus ?

Regards,
Manu

Does anyone has a working Node Red Node for the Shelly Plus devices? This because the Shelly MQTT plugin is not compatible.

The Homeassistent MQTT autodiscover script is not reliable on the Shelly plus. It is still under investigation at Shelly Support. Using MQTT with Node Red is the stable solution, but I am not familiar enough with Node Red to create a node. So hopefully I can have a jumpstart here with someone who knows how Node Red can work.
