Shelly QuickApps suite

[jgab 2,006]

Here is a link to a set of QAs to control Shelly devices.

Please login or register to see this link.

 

• It's both gen 1 and gen 2 devices. Gen 2 devices are easier to integrate with the web socket API than the gen 1 where we need to poll the device with regular interval.
• Battery operated devices are in general a pain to support as they sleep and wake up now and then - which makes polling difficult. So, battery devices are not in focus
• The QAs support the basic features expected from a device of that QA type so they fit into the fibaro model of handling devices. Extra features like setting timers etc that Shelly support is better handled with the pretty good mobile/cloud Shelly app.

 

There are a lot of devices that are potentially supported but not all have been tested. Please give us feedback here or in

 so we can come out with an 1.1 update...    (gen 1 Shelly 1 and Shelly 1PM have issues but will be fixed in next release)

 

The suite contains 5+1 different QAs that each support different Shelly devices.

This is great!  I've got a working, yet clunky, QA to control my RGBW2 but was always looking for something cleaner.   Does the ShellySingleColor handle using the RGBW2 for controlling just white LEDs. I'm using just 2 channels to control my under cabinet lights.

no, unfortunately it doesn't support the rgb2 in "white mode" yet. I guess it would be supported by the ShellyMultiDevice QA and it would create 4 com.fibaro.multilevelSwicth devices as children to control the 4 channels. ? 

I'll see if it can make it into the next release....

[jakub.jezek 353]

Cool. @jgab is in plan creating QA for getting sensor data, for example energy data from Shelly Pro 3 EM or from SHelly plus H&T?

 

BTW, playing with Energy data from Shelly Pro 3 EM via Modbus. It needs to be enabled via URL, e.g. http://192.168.33.1/rpc/Modbus.SetConfig?config={"enable":true}.

Sensors on battery are problematic as they sleep a lot and there is no good way on the HC3 to leverage any of the actions/notification protocols the Shellys support for incoming connections 😕 

The plus H&T is kind of working (ShellyPlusHT.fqa). Because it sleeps a lot it will not keep a web socket open, so we need to poll it and hope that it's awake when we do so. It works so-and-so...

If it's connected with USB it will wake up every ~3min and send data and that works a bit better. 

 

No, no modbus in the plans and extra sensors that can be added to the devices...

Thanks for the update and I'll keep following the thread for progress. I'll stick with the QA I have for now since I need to be able to control the level of the 2 channels as I'm assuming the ShellyMultiDevice QA would just give me on/off.

Btw, do you talk modbus with the device from the QA? Setting it in modbus state seems to disable the normal device server(?)

No, it would give you dimming and startLevelIncrease, startLevelDecrease etc. Like a com.fibaro.multilevelSwitch that is used for dimmable white lights. and you would ge one such child QA per channel.

I've been experimenting with H&T and I've described how I solved it in this thread. If you don't have your own local microcomputer, RPI, NAS, where you can store data from the sensor, you can use external services. see:

[Martin_N 146]

And when I think about it, it would be possible to load those values directly from H&T to HC3 via the its API.
Unfortunately, I don't have H&T available for testing right now, so I won't verify that.

eM.

Yes, It Is direct Modbus TCP. No bridge in the middle.

We also use Control4 driver that uses RPC and it seems to work. Also we have access to webserver od the device And through the Shelly Cloud.

Yes, all solutions relying on an external server was ruled out. Would be nice if the HC3 would have been a MQTT broker...

I been looking at Shelly Cloud, but oath and juggling tokens are not so user friendly - but I may look some more at that.

So, I was a bit more successful in trying to connect using web socket (compared to just http rest/rpc) - when the connection is established I usually get both temp and humidity back.

With REST I sometimes only got one before it went offline.

 

So, the 'action' callbacks are a model I would have liked to use (for gen1) but they don't support bearer authorisation that the HC3 requires. Maybe the Shelly people will add it as there have been some questions on it in the forums. 

 

In general, the Shelly devices support a multitude of connectivity options - just a pity the HC3 is a bit limited in it's connectivity options  - no multicast, no webhooks, no incoming websockets, ...

however, the websocket connectivity for powered gen2 devices works very well.

 

Some advertising. The QAs were developed with the fibemu Visual Studio Code emulator. Made it a breeze to work with web sockets and http and debug - and then scripts to package and distribute the QAs.

And you get some really good writing aid from plugins that continuously lints the code, wrong use of variables, wrong function arguments etc.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Tax API = its (his) API. Autocorrect on virtual keyboard.

[jakub.jezek 353]

@jgab, just tested multilevel QA with Shelly Dimmer 2 and here is some feedback. I do not know if there will be any future changes but what I can see now.

 

In OFF state device reports it is on in the widget, but ON/OFF button and slider are in correct position.

Please login or register to see this spoiler.

In API I see this: {"ison":false,"source":"http","has_timer":false,"timer_started":0,"timer_duration":0,"timer_remaining":0,"mode":"white","brightness":50,"transition":0}

 

This sounds like limitation to Fibaro UI but not 100% sure, yet.

 

Also in case of Level Change commands. It should be faster. It goes from 0-100% (0-255) in 20 seconds, which is too slow. 5 seconds is ok.

 

Best regards,

Jakub

Yes, I can tweak that. Could also make the speed a quickVar to let people adjust it themselves.

That would be great. Few times in past people reported issue that dimming is too slow with HUE Lights till Fibaro fixed it.

 

4 minutes ago, jgab said:

I can probably save it elsewhere so the value is set to 0 too when off.

So the Shelly has the ison and brightness in this case. Anyway, think I can fix it.

In the past I made 1-way Modbus QA for controling DMX lights via Modbus to DMX controller (

). I used QA variable that cannot be changed by user, only QA code itself and keep it there.

Hi, jgab@,

 

Thank you very much for the "QAs", very useful....
The module (Shelly i4), it is installed/connected to the electrical network, but does not have the function of activating the load (light circuit)... it only serves as a trigger (1 click, 2 clicks and press and release), would it be possible a "QA" for this device too? I wanted to use it to call scenes....

Best regards,

Jorge

is that working for shelly pro 3EM?

Unfortunately, 3EM does not work properly. Nothing is displayed in the energy panel

you mean the shelly 3em (1st gen) or the shelly pro 3em?

[SakkhhoID 4]

Hello @jgab and tks for your inputs

GEN3 WIFI devices are supported by your QA ? i think i will start to buy some to test them in my HC3 due to price impact versus Zwave device but i'm not sure to make the right choice 

Fibaro Z-Wave are expensive

Zigbee Devices not well supported

Shelly Wifi devices with good QA could be a solution ...

 

cheers
