I am trying to configure the Shelly RGBW2 to work with HS4. I have installed the mscMQTT plugin but I am not seeing anything. The RGBW2 and HS4 are on the same network. Looking for some help.

Have you looked at the user manual for mcsShelly to enable MQTT for the RGBW2? http://mcsSprinklers.com/mcsShelly.pdf -
I had not but MQTT is now enabled. How long should it take to see something and which screen should I be looking at?Comment

mcsMQTT/mcsShelly is looking for MQTT topics shellies/#. This is the default for all Shelly devices. If the user changes the Topic then mcsMQTT will not know what to be expect.
The broker is the other Shelly setup setting. It should be the same as what is used for mcsMQTT broker. If mcsMQTT broker IP is blank then the internal broker will be used by mcsMQTT so Shelly device needs to know the IP of HS.
Cycling power on the Shelly device will produce MQTT messages going to the broker IP that was identified in the MQTT setup of the Shelly device.Comment

By default 127.0.0.1 was in the "MQTT Broker Name Or IP Address". I deleted it and left it empty and it started to work. Thank you for your assistance.Comment

I moved HS4 to a Windows 10 computer. When configuring mcsMQTT MQTT Broker Name Or IP Address it keeps defaulting to 127.0.0.1. It says if left blank it will spawn its own internal broker.Comment

Blank is 127.0.0.1. Are you indicating that it does not work when it shows 127.0.0,1?

I think it was the firewall blocking. Sorry about jumping the gun.Comment
