Hi, I started to develop a binding for Shelly products. I have a Shelly1 and a Shelly2. These will be implemented and tested for the time being, the rest of the product family I will implement as well as possible, but can not test. Is there any interest in having the binding published in due course…

My question is probably not completely related to the Shelly binding (which is awesome, that you for your work!) itself, but I’ll try anway: For Google Home to recognize rollershutters, I added the [“Blinds”] tag to my Fibaro Roller Shutter items like this: Rollershutter Rollladen_EG_Esszimmer_Tuer…

The only way by now to add tags to items created via PaperUI is through the REST Api. [image] openHAB REST API a vendor and technology agnostic open source automation software for your home

Ah, ok. Is there an example of how to configure Things and Items via text config files? I do prefer those over configuration via PaperUI. It’s just so much faster to change stuff etc. (yea, auto discovery is nice, but still I’d prefer text files). Thanks in advance.

As we are in the Shelly Binding thread I was actually talking about the Shelly Binding :slight_smile:

[image] sirpreis: Now, I would like to be able to “change the direction” while the shutters are moving, meaning if the shutters are in the process of closing, and I press the button again, the shutters are then supposed to stop moving and then open again. ok, @igi reminded me why we implement…

[image] sirpreis: Do you have an example of how to set up things and items via text files? Not yet, I’m using the PaperUI approach and banned Alexa :slight_smile: Maybe someone else could help? [image] sirpreis: but it seems there is not way to add those if the items is created via Pape…

How to configure Things and channels is binding dependent, so you’d need to more explicit.
How to configure Items you already know.

zwave binding is very reliant on device discovery for correct configuring, not best suited for text files.
