Openhab shelly i4dc addon channels missing

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hi all,

I connected Shelly Plus Add-On to Shelly Plus i4 DC (FW: 1.0.0-gaec0744).
The device has been discovered by the binding but no Add-On channels, like sensors, configured to the thing (i4DC’s ones are OK). However, OH Shelly Binding docs completely missing this scenario - attaching Shelly Plus Add-On to Shelly Plus i4 DC. So, my question is if this is something that could be easily added as supported binding feature? Also, how can I create manually the channels … if possible at all or this could be supported via binding only?

I’m new to the Shelly items and apologise if my questions are stupid.

Edited: I’m running OH v 4.0.2

You better ask this question in this thread

This is where the maintainer answers questions

@Riccardo1979,

After waiting couple of months for the binding to get supported the i4DC I decided to use http binding to retrieve the values out of the addon.

http.items

...
Number DS18B20_Temp1 "Temp [%.1f °]"  <temperature> (gTempSensors) ["Measurement", "Temperature"] {
    channel="http:url:<id>:http101"
}
Number Power_Supply "Power Supply [%.1f V]" <energy> (Sensors) ["Measurement", "Voltage"] {
    channel="http:url:<id>:http100"
}
...

http thing sample (configured via UI)

...

Not sure but I think the shelly binding still doesn’t support i4dc with addon.

Hello Dimitar,
I have been using several temperature sensors via Shelly 1 add-ons for several years. All integrated without any problems via the Shelly Binding. With the new Shelly Plus1 PM with addon, I don’t see any temperature values either. I spended hours to test and update and finally I coppied your code to the http thing and I was ready within 5 Minutes.
Looking out of the box can be quite helpful.
Thanks for your solution!
