Shellies Discovery Gen2

This script adds MQTT discovery support for Shelly Gen2 and Gen3 devices in the Home Assistant.

Prerequisites

This script needs Home Assistant python_script component so, if you never used it, I strongly suggest you to follow the official instruction and check that python_script is properly configured and it's working.

For the device to work with the script, it must have MQTT configured and options Enable "MQTT Control", RPC status notifications over MQTT and Generic status update over MQTT enabled.

MQTT integration must be configured in Home Assistant.

Installation

You can download shellies_discovery_gen2.py file and save it in <config>/python_scripts folder or install the script via HACS. You won't find Shellies Discovery Gen2 in the HACS Integrations section, nor add it as a custom repository. You must have a properly configured python_script component to be able to install the script from the HACS Automations section.

Shellies Discovery Gen2 will automatically install/update the script on your Shelly device. Due to python_scripts integration limitations, updating the device script requires the announce automation to run twice.

Battery powered devices

Battery powered devices like Plus H&T are put to sleep most of the time. For this reason, adding/updating entities configuration for a device should be done as follows:

• enter the device into setup mode (press the button on the device)
• manually run Shellies Announce Gen2 automation

How to debug

To debug the script add this to your logger configuration:

# configuration.yaml file
logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.python_script: debug
    homeassistant.components.automation: info
    homeassistant.components.mqtt.discovery: info

Supported platforms

• binary sensor
• button
• climate
• cover
• device trigger
• event
• fan
• light
• sensor
• switch
• update

Supported features

• the device name is taken from the device configuration
• the relay name is taken from the device configuration
• the relay consumption type is taken from the device configuration (consumption type must contain light or fan to configure light or fan platform)
• if the input type is set to button, device automation triggers are available
• custom MQTT prefixes are supported

Script arguments

key	optional	type	default	description
discovery_prefix	True	string	homeassistant	MQTT discovery prefix
script_prefix	True	string		MQTT prefix to install the script in the device
qos	True	integer	0	MQTT QoS, you can use 0, 1 or 2
