Original Plugin for Shelly devices - Intro / Config / Screenshots [No MQTT]

[alexbk66]

santoal what does it show on the device config page in HS? What Dimmer settings do you think is necessary to implement in HS? Definitely user/password.

[santoal]

Dimmer control looks ok. This is what it shows for the dimmer control in HS. I would just use the Shelly app for settings. Perhaps fade rate and auto off/on timer if that is what you mean.

Hmm, there's no AKShelly tab? I will check...

I think using "auto off/on timer" on Shelly defeats the purpose of automation system. But I'll think about other settings. Probably after my Dimmers arrive.

Version 3.0.0.24 in BETA - continue on Shelly Dimmer and Shelly EM

santoal please test

[santoal]

We have control!

Just a few issues:
1) Off Status not showing correctly in HS3. Changes momentarily but then goes back to % dim value. I think because its re-reading the dim status % from Shelly which then overrides off. Pressing off does turn it off though.
2) Can only seem to slide dim to 99% max in HS
3) Temperature log error

Yeah, the problem is - I didn't want to create two HS devices - one for on/off, one for dim level. Tried to combine them in one. I'll think more... I don't like two separate devices...

Shelly do have separate control for on/off and brightness - which is good. May be it makes sense to separate them?

I think I fixed it. But can't submit BETA, their developers portal is misbehaving again...

I think the way LIFEX UltraLighting 3 plugin implements dimmers works well. Having 1 device is good for things like integration with Alexa.

Can you please paste screenshot of status graphics config page for the device?

When developers portal is fixed - version 3.0.0.26 in BETA should get closer.... Also includes Shelly EM, added Temperature and Input(s) HS devices for all Shelly devices.

[alexbk66]

In the mean time... Since HST can't fix their portal. Attached the version 3.0.0.26.

You need to copy the zip file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\Updates3\Zips" and the updater_override.txt to the root HS installation.

Installed. Still not working properly. Here is the dimmer page for other z-wave dimmers. There is a "Last" button which turns on the lights to the last dimmer setting.

[santoal]

Scrap that. Update didn't install properly. Updates from Shelly web page to HS3 work ok. Turning off dimmer in HS3 has no effect and produces an error. I think a "last" button still makes sense as per previous post.

Also I have a temp of 48 deg causing the warning symbol to appear. I assume 48 deg is ok still? Everything else working ok.

Yeah, that's all good, I just reused the settings from Shelly H&T - where 40 deg is too much. I will change that. Or you can change the status graphic range yourself...

"Bad brightness value!" is an error returned from Shelly - which means it doesn't like brightness=0? Can you set brightness to 0 from Dimmer webpage?

I can add "Last=255". We'll see...
