Discontinuation of ShellyForHass

ShellyForHass will no longer receive further development updates. This decision stems from the fact that its features and functionality have been seamlessly integrated into Home Assistant, making it redundant to maintain a separate plugin.

We spending lots of effort to make this plugin better and supporting new devices. Please support us by joining on Patreon, donate to Paypal pool or buying us some cups of coffee.

Intro

This platform adds components for Shelly smart home devices to Home Assistant. There is no configuration needed, it will find all devices on your LAN and add them to Home Assistant. All communication with Shelly devices is local. You can use this plugin and continue to use Shelly Cloud, MQTT and Shelly app in your mobile if you want. A proxy can also be used to include Shellies on different LAN's.

List

If you have any problems please see the troubleshooting guide

Features

  • Automatically discover all Shelly devices (Gen 1 and Gen 2)
  • Monitor status (state, temperature, humidity, power, rssi, ip, fw, battery, uptime etc.)
  • Control (turn on/off, dim, color, effects, up/down etc.)
  • Sensors for most of the attributes
  • Switch sensors to show status of switch button (0.0.16)
  • Detection of click and multiple quick clicks by events
  • Works with Shelly default settings, no extra configuration
  • Runs locally, you don't have to add the device to Shelly Cloud
  • Coexists with Shelly Cloud so you can continue to use Shelly Cloud and Shelly apps
  • Using CoAP, http, mqtt, winsocket for communication
  • Working with both static or dynamic ip addresses on your devices
  • Using events so very fast response (no polling)
  • Support restrict login with username and password (0.0.3-)
  • Version sensor to show version of component and pyShelly (0.0.4)
  • Device configuration (name, show switch as light) (0.0.4)
  • Discovery can be turned off (0.0.4)
  • Switch for firmware update trigger (use with monster-card to show a list of devices to need to be update, see examples below)
  • Support proxy to allow Shelly devices in other LANs (0.0.15).
  • Using mDns discovery and polling if CoAP not working (slower status updates) (0.1.5)
  • Receive device names from Shelly Cloud (cloud_auth_key/cloud_server) (0.1.5)
  • Add Shelly devices by IP-address if on different LAN or mDns and CoAP not working for discovery

Firmware

Support all Shelly firmware versions (0.2.0)

Installation

Install with HACS (recommended)

Do you you have HACS installed? Just search for Shelly and install it direct from HACS. HACS will keep track of updates and you can easily upgrade Shelly to latest version. See Setup for how to add it in HA.

Install manually

  1. Install this platform by creating a custom_components folder in the same folder as your configuration.yaml, if it doesn't already exist.
  2. Create another folder shelly in the custom_components folder. Copy all files from custom_components into the shelly folder. Do not copy files from master branch, download latest release (.zip) from here.

Setup

You can setup this component by using HA integration or config.yaml. Most of settings is available from integration but things like decimals, device specific configuration is only available when using config.yaml.

If you have the configuration in config.yaml you can convert it to internal setting by clicking the settings gear for the integration and follow the instructions. If you use advanced settings they will be lost. After conversion the settings in config.yaml will be ignored. To go back to config.yaml just delete the integration and restart HA.

MQTT Support

MQTT support is added to two different modes that can run in parallel. You can run CoAP and MQTT at the same time and add Shelly devices using CoAP, REST and/or MQTT. The benefit of MQTT is that it working with VLANs and network equipment that not support CoAP/IGMP. The backside is that MQTT can't be enabled at the same time as the device is connected to Shelly Cloud, except for Shelly H&T and the new Plus/Pro series devices.

Connect to an MQTT broker like mosquito etc

Specifying the address and login to your MQTT broker to make ShellyForHass automatically detect your devices and create entities for them in HA. You must also configure your Shelly devices also to connect to this MQTT broker.

shelly:
  mqtt_server_host: "192.168.1.100"
  mqtt_server_port: "1883" #Default 1883
  mqtt_server_username: "user"
  mqtt_server_password: "password"

Built-in MQTT server

By configuring the mqtt_port the plugin starts listening for clients (Shelly devices) to connect to that port. It can be configured in the integration GUI or in config.yaml depending on how it is installed in your system. Please do not use port 1883 for this to avoid collision with other MQTT brokers.

shelly:
   mqtt_port: 1888

In the Shelly config, you only have to enter the server address to point to the IP of HA and the port specified above in the config. This is just a simple MQTT server without authentication. So do not publish it on public networks etc. Do not use a custom MQTT prefix.

HA Integration

When you have installed Shelly you can add it in GUI under HA integration. Use the plus button and search for Shelly. You need to specify the prefix that is used as first part of the entity_id to avoid conflicts. Default is shelly.

When you have added Shelly to HA you can do the configuration by clicking the settings gear for this integration.

Configure in config.yaml

When you have installed shelly and make sure it exists under custom_components folder it is time to configure it in Home Assistant.

It is very easy, just add shelly: to your configuration.yaml

Examples

Default with discovery and power sensors
shelly:
Get device name from Shelly Cloud
shelly:
  cloud_auth_key: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
  cloud_server: "shelly-XXXXX.shelly.cloud"

You will get the information for the keys above from Shelly Cloud, User settings and click GET KEY.

Events

[Events added in release 0.0.16]

shelly_switch_click

When the switch sensor is enabled an event will be sent for multiple clicks on the switch button. This can be used to trig automations for double clicks etc.

{
    "event_type": "shelly_switch_click",
    "data": {
        "entity_id": "sensor.shelly_shsw_1_xxxxxx_switch",
        "click_cnt": 4,
        "state": true
}
Parameter Description
click_cnt Number of clicks, 2 = turn back and forth quickly, 4 = double click on momentary switch.
state Current state of the switch, can be used to distinct on-off-on from off-on-off for example.

shellyforhass.click [0.2.0]

Click event supporting the build in events in Shelly devices with firmware from 1.8.x

{
    "event_type": "shellyforhass.click",
    "data": {
        "entity_id": "binary_sensor.shelly_shbtn_1_xxxxxx_switch",
        "click_type": "single"
    }
    .....
}
Parameter Description
click_type single, double, triple, long, long-short, short-long (not all devices support all types)

Restart Home Assistant

Now you should restart Home Assistant to load shelly. Some times you need to restart twice to get the required library pyShelly installed. You can see this error in the log file.

Shelly will discover all devices on your LAN and show them as light, switch, sensor and cover in Home Assistant.

Proxy for VLAN or different network

If you're running Shellies on a different VLAN or network there is a proxy.py that can be used to forward CoAP messages to ShellyForHASS plugin.

Update the script with the ip-address of your HASS installation and run it on a computer/router etc that are connected to same network as your Shellies. Firewall and routing must be enabled, TCP 80 HASS -> Shelly and UDP 5683 Shelly -> HASS. If you're using multiple network interfaces, try routing the multicast packets to the right interface (i.e. ip route add 224.0.1.187/32 dev eth1).

Auto entities (before Monster card)

You can use the component with auto entities to filter data in a nice way.

All shelly devices

card:
  show_header_toggle: false
  title: Shelly
  type: entities
filter:
  exclude:
    - entity_id: '*rssi*'
    - entity_id: '*uptime*'
    - entity_id: '*firmware*'
  include:
    - entity_id: '*shelly*'
type: 'custom:auto-entities'

Need firmware update (click on the switch to update)

card:
  show_header_toggle: false
  title: Shelly need update
  type: entities
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: '*firmware_update*'
type: 'custom:auto-entities'

WiFi signal of all devices (rssi)

card:
  show_header_toggle: false
  title: Shelly
  type: entities
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: '*rssi*'
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
