Integrate Shelly Dimmer Gen3
Posted: Wednesday 29 January 2025 22:40
Suddenly it was released so i ordered a couple to replace my older (Gen1 and 2) ones that are sort of dying (dropping connection or not responding at all).
Not knowing what i was getting into, i found out that the device isn't as easy as it was before.... so i thought, the functionality "one-button-dimming" for example is kinda hidden, but still there... easily overlooked. I hate that!
Anyway, as much as it sounds like a developed new thing, freedom and all what we've ever wanted, my intention is to simply replace the old dimmers. Shelly claims compatibility, but it seems everything but compatible with Domoticz right now.
Maybe someone can point me to some helpfull information since Shelly helpdesk is kinda sad to be honest. I need to integrate the device into domoticz, using MQTT like it worked out of the box in the old days. How do i get it into Domoticz?
I just hope there is some script available to make it work like before, set and go... ?
