Control Shelly devices with Homey

App Store Page: https://homey.app/a/cloud.shelly/

Description

This Homey app allows you to control a variety of Shelly devices. New Shelly devices are released to the market at a steady pace. Support for missing devices will be added in the future if requested based on my available time and ability to add support without actually owning the device.

Instructions

Add your Shelly device in Homey just like you would add any other device. Enter the IP address and the polling frequency in the pairing wizard. If you have set a username and password to access your Shelly device you need to enter these during pairing as well. Connect the device and you are good to go.

Using the button action trigger card

Most Shelly devices are capable of notifying Homey when a specific action has taken place. For instance a short- or longpress of a switch. If you have a supported device and you want to be able to use this functionality you will need to perform an extra action.

1. Open the settings of your Shelly device through the Homey app by long pressing the device and selecting the cogwheel.
2. Select the option “Maintenance Actions” (if this is not available for your device then it does not support these actions)
3. Click the option “Set callback URLs for triggers” and wait for confirmation

What this does is update your Shelly device and let the device know how to notify Homey when a specific action has taken place. The Shelly app for Homey will register these events and trigger the “Action event” card. This card is available under the app (and not under any of your Shelly devices) and it has a flow tags which contains the actual action, the name of the device that triggered it and the ID of the device that triggered it. You can use these tokens to filter on within your flows. The steps for creating a flow are as followed:

1. Create flow
2. Add trigger action card from the Shelly app (not from any of your devices) called “Action event”
3. Add a Logica condition card for filtering on the name of the device using the Name token
4. Add a Logica condition card for filtering on the action you want this flow to trigger on using the Action token
5. Add your actions

If you dont know the action name to filter on you you can first create a flow with this trigger card and an action card wich sends the action as a notification to your mobile using the Action token.

Missing devices

Allterco Robotics, the company behind the Shelly devices, is releasing new products very often. If you want a device added to this app which is currently missing you have three options:

1. If you own the device you can send me the output of http://yourshellyip/status. This tells me the capabilities and the way the API is implemented for that device.
2. Wait for the API documentation to be updated. Based on the documentation I can add the device. Allterco Robotics is slow in updating their API documentation however.
3. Donate me money so I can buy the device or send me the device itself so I can add support using the actual device.

Donations

I enjoy creating apps for Homey and try to support them as best as I can. But if you enjoy using my apps a donation in return for the time I put into this is much appreciated.

did order some units today, are you happy with the unit?

[Phuturist]

did order some units today, are you happy with the unit?

I only have one Shelly 1. I had some issue with connectivity at first but after fiddling around with it it’s now working very well. Only thing I really changed was disconnect the unit from the cloud. Not really needed anyway since I can control it using Homey. Other than that it all looks good hardware and software wise.

[djesko]

do i just need you app? no settings in unit?

[Phuturist]

do i just need you app? no settings in unit?

You will need the Shelly smartphone app to setup the device (like configure the WiFi etc.). After that you should not really need it anymore. Controlling the device can be done through Homey.

Hello!

I buy a pair of shelly 1 and 2. The 1 works perfectly with homey, but the shelly 2 don’t work as a roller shutter. I push the button of relay 1 and relay 2 and nothing happens. With shelly android app they work perfect. I do anything wrong?

[Phuturist]

I do anything wrong?

No, currently only relay mode is supported. I’d have to find out how to dynamically change the capabilities when it’s switched to roller shutter mode.

[Eduardo_Rodriguez]

Thanks for fast reply!

Are you working on this? Need some donation for buy shelly 2?

If shelly 2 works fine for roller shutter is an excellent option in price, 20€ and not 50€ of fibaro and qubino roller shutters.

[Phuturist]

Are you working on this?

I worked on it this morning. It’s a bit of guessing without the actual device but I just pushed a new release to Github. Do you know how to do a command line install so you can test this?

jghaanstra/cloud.shelly

If so, please be specific in your findings so I can try improve the support.

[Eduardo_Rodriguez]

Hi @Phuturist

I install your new version 1.2.0 and nothing changes.

if helps, in homey (preview) android app, i get this error when i click on relay buttons:

Something went wrong adressing device (name of device) (invalid_capability)

Shelly 2 is more complex than shelly 1, it have several options to configure:

I appreciate your work a lot. If you need more information I will help you as much as I can. Thank you!

[Phuturist]

I install your new version 1.2.0 and nothing changes.

You will need to repair the device as a “Shelly 2 Roller Shutter” device.

[Eduardo_Rodriguez]

OK!!

Re-paired as a roller shutter. Now shows 6 buttons, none of them works:

In theory shelly 2 only have 2 buttons, whit several options to work. If you need more info i give you some screenshots of the shelly app.

And every several seconds the device show as unreachable in homey, but really don’t loose comunication.

[Phuturist]

Re-paired as a roller shutter. Now shows 6 buttons, none of them works:

I have uploaded a new release. You will need to remove and repair your Shelly 2 Roller Shutter device. Could you use the athom app run command and post any errors in the output here when pairing and controlling the device.

jghaanstra/cloud.shelly

[Eduardo_Rodriguez]

App updated and devide re-paired. Now show 3 buttons and no go to unreachable.

But nothing happens when i click the buttons.

in command athom app run no info is displayed when i add the device and click the buttons:

again I thank you for all your work and help!! it seems incredible to me that without having the device you can make it work!!

[Phuturist]

seems incredible to me that without having the device you can make it work!!

Well, as you can see it’s not working yet and getting it to work without the device is not the most efficient way. But it should be possible. Don’t have a clue why it’s not working yet though, I’ll see if I can add some extra debug logging that should give me more hints on what is going on.

[Phuturist]

But nothing happens when i click the buttons.

I have added extra debug logging in the latest version on GitHub. Could you use the CLI command athom app run, try and change the roller shutter from the device card and post the output from the console here.

[Eduardo_Rodriguez]

This all looks good, I fixed another bug that prevented controlling the roller shutter. Could you try downloading and running it again.
