Shelly 1 no output is created

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 9:34am

I’m new on openHAB and I’m using the latest openHAB version.
I have 2 shellys:

Shelly 2.5
Shelly 1
I created for both a thing choosing the right model of shelly.
By creating an Item from thing only the outputs of the shelly 2.5 are available to add.
the generated Thing foe shelly1 looks like that

I tried to extend this like in the shelly 2.5.
But if I save this with extending with id output it will be reseted to this.

Hi Gottfried,
welcome to openhab and welcome to the community.
When you open the Thing‘s channel tab, press „Show advanced“ in the upper right corner.

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 10:08am

I did.
I added the listing of available channels in the first post.
There is no output listed in the Thing and I’m not able to extend it.

Oliver2 · February 16, 2024, 10:19am

Ok. I do not fully understand what you did to add a thing
Let‘s walk through the process of adding a shelly thing:

optional step: go to Add-On Store, select shelly binding, hit the gear icon and add username and password for your shelly devices
Go to settings - things
press + button
Select shelly binding and click scan
Your shelly device should appear. It might be the case that the binding already has detected your device and it is available in the Thing Inbox.

Did you add your device like this?

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 10:25am

Yes the thing is available and online.
If you click to channels I could see

Alarm
Wifi Signal
Device Name
Uptime
Firmware Update available
Heart Beat
I don´t know if these are the right description, because I use the German UI
There is no Output Channel listed and I’m not able to add one

The shelly 2.5 has both outputs in the channels List

Oliver2 · February 16, 2024, 10:32am

ok. And you are sure that there is no such check box in the upper right corner as can be seen here:

If not, please delete the thing and readd the thing based on the steps above including the optional first step

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 10:40am

I did it again.
But there is also no Channel

Button
Output
Input
available
It worked for me by Shelly 2.5
Im using openHAB 4.1.1
Could it be a bug in the definition whitch channels are available?

Oliver2 · February 16, 2024, 10:47am

I doubt that it is a bug as such a severe problem would have escalated already.
Could you post a screenshot of the thing channel tab?
Did you update your Shelly with latest firmware?

As a second approach, we could replace the release version of Shelly binding with the latest one of the developer

Delete shelly things, delete the binding
Download the binding here:
https://github.com/markus7017/myfiles/tree/master/shelly
Copy it to the addons folder
Install coap services in openhab console: feature:install openhab-transport-coap
add things

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 1:01pm

Sorry for the silly question.
But where is this folder
I found /usr/share/openhab/addons.
But there is nothing to replace.
there is a kar file and a redme file.

Oliver2 · February 16, 2024, 3:41pm

sorry, you need to uninstall the existing shelly binding from GUI.
Then copy the dev binding, you downloaded into the folder you already found

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 6:24pm

I downloaded the repository to the location using git clone.
Now I trie to connect to the openhab console with

ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost

I didn’t have changed the password but I m not able to connect.
every time I type openhab I get this an then I’m back in the console

igi · February 16, 2024, 7:03pm

The default password for the console if not changed is ‘habopen’.

Gottfried_Hauer · February 16, 2024, 9:11pm

Now I could access the openhab console.
If I call feature:install openhab-transport-coap the system is doing something without any error, but if i go back to the webinterface there is noch shelly binding installed.
If I install the shelly binding and add the shelly 1 I have the same than bevor.
No Output.
What did I wrong?
Is this Issue fixed in the beta of openhab?

Oliver2 · February 17, 2024, 12:58am

It depends where this binding appears. If it appears in Addons store in the section „Other Add-Ons“ then you have properly installed the latest dev binding.
Otherwise please follow the steps I have provided.

Gottfried_Hauer · February 17, 2024, 10:25pm

It doesn’t appear anywhere.
I downloaded the whole repository to this subdirectory
So I tried the betta Version in the Community section.
Same Problem:-(
I don’t know why, but I did not get it fixed.
Is there a chance that it would be fixed soon in the stable version?

Oliver2 · February 17, 2024, 11:28pm

What is the version of the shelly binding?
Did you delete and re-add shelly things?

Gottfried_Hauer · February 18, 2024, 7:49am

The version is 4.1.1
I deleted the shelly and recreated it.
I didn’t get the dev binding installed.
There was no binding in others.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Whitch files should I place to the addon folder.
I copied the main directory (myfiles) with all subdirs into the addon folder.
I dowloaded this with git clone.

Gottfried_Hauer · February 18, 2024, 9:26am

I copied the main directory to addons and not shelly.
Now Addons displays loading.
Hope it worked now.

Oliver2 · February 18, 2024, 9:40am

Could you be more specific? I have no idea what you did.
All you needed to do was to download the dev binding (.jar file) from the website to the addons folder

Gottfried_Hauer · February 18, 2024, 9:50am

I copied the myfiles directory with all subfolders to the addon dir an not the shelly folder.
Now I copied the shelly folder with subdirs to the addons folder and started installation.
But now if I open addon Store it always displays loading.
Also Items an not displayed any more.
It’s always loading.
Things and Rules are displayed.
I tried to restart the raspberry but nothing changed.
Maybe I found the reason.
I forgot uninstalling the shelly binding befor installing the dev version.
I’m a little bit desperated because I added already 165 Items and I don’t want to loose all the work I have done.
