A selector switch can be 244,62,0 or 244,73,18 (according the wiki...)

Hi there,

After Shelly_MQTT (discontinued), ShellyTeacher (discontinued), I am jumping into MqttMapper to make my Shelly EM Gen3 read by domoticz.
A bit tricky to understand everything about the settings (even if the french version is clearer for me ;) ).
I want my (new) Shelly to publish values to my already in place Domoticz Device idx188 (which is General/kWh so 243/29 if I am correct).

Here is the MQTT message receive from Mosquitto:

Code: Select all

{"src":"shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8","dst":"shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8/events","method":"NotifyStatus","params":{"ts":1757758440.98,"em1:0":{"act_power":3528.0,"aprt_power":3575.3,"current":14.827,"freq":50.0,"pf":0.98,"voltage":244.4}}}
So here are my questions. Here is the JSON I started to write:

Code: Select all

{
    "Maison W": {
        "topic": "shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8/events",
        "type": "243", "subtype": "29", "switchtype": "??",
        "mapping": {"item": "params/em1:0/act_power"}
    }
}
I don't know what to put in switchtype.
I don't know where I can indicate the idx value of my actual device in Domoticz (188)
I am not sure if my mapping is correct for a General/kWh device

Once it will be correct, it could be interested to publish working examples of all Shelly devices type. It would interest quite some people I think

As for all plug-in, MqttMapper can only write data into its own devices. You should create a new device (with shown configuration file, its name will be "Maison W") to get data. You can then copy changed from this device to any existing one with some dzVent/LUA script.

Concerning switchType, put it to zero.

Note that this kind of device needs 2 values: instant power (in W) followed by total power (in Wh). If you have total power from device, use it. Else, you can add line "options": {"EnergyMeterMode": "1"} into definition to calculate it from instant power, and add ";0" after instant power into "mapping" "iitem".

So if I understood correctly the result is the following:

Code: Select all

{
    "Maison Wbis": {
        "topic": "shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8/events",
        "type": "244", "subtype": "73", "switchtype": "0",
        "mapping": {"item": "params/em1:0/act_power;0"},
        "options": {"EnergyMeterMode": "1"}
    }
}
But then I created the device and it crashed domoticz with the log full of following messages:
2025-09-14 14:46:40.489 Error: (FindModule) Domoticz/DomoticzEx modules not found in interpreter.
2025-09-14 14:46:40.489 Error: CPlugin:PyDomoticz_Debug, illegal operation, Plugin has not started yet.
Any hint?

You should not create a device, the plugin does that for you.
Is this the only mapping JSON you use or are there already more?

Sorry I mean when I created the hardware…
No other json, only this one

Re: Python Plugin: MqttMapper

Perhaps try it without to check
"options": {"EnergyMeterMode": "1"}

And is the plugin running when the JSON is empty?

So I am back on it, it doesn't crash now with:

Code: Select all

{
    "Maison Wbis": {
        "topic": "shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8/events",
        "type": "244", "subtype": "73", "switchtype": "0",
        "mapping": {"item": "params/em1:0/act_power;0"},
        "options": {"EnergyMeterMode": "1"}
    }
}
but it creates only one device that is not a power meter device:

I tried to put more verbose debug messages, but it's cryptic to me:

Domoticz sometimes not so good manages changing device type.

If you change "type", "subtype" or "switchtype" in json configuration file, you may have to delete device first to let it create instead of modify device.

So I deleted the device in domoticz...and Mqttmapper created the same device exactly

Type 244, subtype 73, switchtype 0 is an on/off switch.

To get a kWh device, use 243/29/0

Was correct in my first message and don't know when I changed that!! :?
Sorry!
SO now the device is ok but not updated at all.
I checked with mosquito and I receive well the messages:

Found the mistake: need a "~" before the 0

Code: Select all

{
    "Maison Wbis": {
        "topic": "shellyemg3-b08184e81cd8/events/rpc",
        "type": "243", "subtype": "29", "switchtype": "0",
        "mapping": {"item": "params/em1:0/act_power;~0"},
        "options": {"EnergyMeterMode": "1"}
    }
}
So now the log sounds good but I don't still have any value in the device itself (but the update_timestamp change!):

FYI, these messages are probably ping from/to MQTT server to keep connection active.

The mentioned issue has link to Domoticz issue that's still opened. Until it's fixed in Domoticz, changing options twice could make the job.

Hello,
I have a little issue with one shelly device, the "Lastupdate" of the switch device is updated each time when apower/voltage/freq/current is changing althought the state of the switch does not change
DZ.png
DZ.png (89.42 KiB) Viewed 202 times
below my setup in the Mqttmapper :
"Living": {
"topic": "shelly132/status/switch:0",
"type": "244", "subtype": "73", "switchtype": "0",
"mapping": {
"item": "output",
"default": "0",
"values": {"False": "0", "True" : "100"}
},
"set": {
"topic": "shelly132/rpc",
"payload": "{ \"id\":0, \"src\": \"domoticz\", \"method\": \"Switch.Set\", \"params\":{\"id\":0,\"on\":#}}",
"mapping": {"values": {"false": "0", "true" : "100"}}
}
}
what is my mistake ?

As of now, there's no test on value change to set last update date, it's updated each time we got a new message.

Z2M also works as this.

However, it may be a good idea to set last update only on value change. I'll see how to implement an option to do that.

Stay tuned!
