Shelly Binding

dyanko · January 18, 2019, 9:18pm

Hi, thank you for your feedback. For now I will just stick to the current solution and try OpenHab with Alexa when I have some time for it. I will of course follow the topic here as well.

hmerk · June 27, 2019, 9:30pm

Hi Patrik,
any progress with your binding?

fanavity · June 28, 2019, 4:33am

Currently there is nothing new. I’ve done so much work that I can not keep working on it. I hope to have some more time by the end of the year.

markus7017 · June 28, 2019, 6:43pm

Could you share the code for the current status? Maybe we could work together. I hVe it running with mqtt, but looking for a PaperUi based approach and auto discovery. Already did some bindings so that‘s not the problem. @hmerk already has the auto discovery running.

markus7017 · July 10, 2019, 10:04pm

fyi: @hmerk and I started working on a native binding and making good progress. I think next week we have something to test

markus7017 · July 13, 2019, 6:22am

I‘m making good progress already covering most of the features for Shelly1/2/2.5, @hmerk will add the HT., 1PM should work if 1 is dine.

Who could do some testing for the other device types?

prybil · July 14, 2019, 11:21am

I’ll be happy to test when possible.

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 12:03pm

sounds good, which devices do you have?

MHerbst · July 14, 2019, 12:18pm

I can also help with testing. After I have set up the development environment I can also help with debugging especially for devices that you can’t test.

I have got the following devices:

Shelly Plug S
Shelly Sense
Shelly Buld

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 1:31pm

good to know

I checked in my current status, it’s work in progress, just as a snapshot for debugging purposes! Do not use this status when you expect a working binding.

Still 2 issues on the list I need to fix before I could share an alpha release:

The setShellyHandlerFactory is not called in the Callback/Servlet class - this is required to be able passing the event callback to the ClassFactory and dispatching to the things. The callback event is triggered by the device when the status of S1/O1 or S2/O2 changes (for the Shelly 1/2/2.5) or a sensor update is available (HT). Events are already working in general, that’s the last missing piece. Event handling might be replaced by Coap events when we get this working. Otherwise the handling has to be optimized for battery driven devices to avoid draining the battery.
The ESH-XML has a syntax problem (which is displayed in the debugger). Things are created and get online, but the channel updates fails, mostly because of the malformed XML - need to look into details

for now I didn’t found to read the status of S1/O1+S2/O2 when the thing initializes. The doc describes “show and set the status”, but the call doesn’t return the current status - no the baddest thing, just creates some inconvenience on OH restarts

Support for the Shelly relays and rollers is almost done. There are some more attributes, which might be useful, but those could be added at a later stage.

Support for Plug/PlugS and the Bulb should be easy to integrate. The json structures are usually the same across devices. I want to have explicit handling for each device type so we could also utilize additional/new features.

Shelly Sense is very specific and requires a lot of typing. In addition I need to understand how it works = what is required to support it in a proper way (there are tons of config options).

In general I have to say that the documentation is useful, but not bugfree and sometimes incomplete (e.g. the event urls are not described, I found them while debugging the return JSON).
@MHerbst Maybe you could contribute the GSON mapping for the Sense (internal.api/ShellyApiJSon.java).

Please make sure to send the log level to TRACE. Especially the startup sequence to unsupported devices are interesting. Please post the log here or send me a PM.

http authentication is not yet support, so you need to turn that off for now
One note: Shelly does NOT encrypt or hash the http user credentials in the return JSON so you may want to remove them before posting a log. For me this is a security issues, which should be changed by Shell.

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 1:46pm

I added a first .jar build to the repo - this is work in progress - just as a snapshot for debugging purposes! Do not use this status when you expect a working binding.

I have a couple of shelly 1 V.3 lying around doing nothing at the moment.

MHerbst · July 14, 2019, 4:19pm

Here are my first test results: I have copied the jar file to the addons folder of my openHAB 2.4 installation. The binding did not load because it was missing the Californium bundle. So I installed the Tradfri binding which also uses this bundle.

Auto discovery did not find any of my devices.

I will send you the trace as PM.

Unfortunately I don’t have a running development environment for openHAB 2.4 resp. a Tycho-based environment. I will install the latest development environment and try to convert the structure of the add-in to the new bndtools-based environment.

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 6:30pm

That’s correct, the Tradfri binding brings californium so no need to install the dependencies manually. I’ll find out, which components to install (feature:install) and add that to the readme.

“Auto discovery did not find any of my devices”. The binding uses mDNS, did you tried a runtime environment or IDE? I had/have the same problem in the IDE whereas it found the devices in the runtime environment on the same system.

I’ll stay on 2.4 as long as I have the feeling that 2.5 is stable. So also my dev & test environment is 2.4.

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 7:26pm

I added detection of shellyplug and shellyplug-s and avoid an Exception when a json config parameter is not available.
https://github.com/markus7017/org.openhab.binding.shelly/blob/alpha1-wip/target/org.openhab.binding.shelly-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Running a manual scan also helps when the device is not discoverd or a restart in the IDE.

@MHerbst please try again

markus7017 · July 14, 2019, 7:27pm

The feature that has to be installed on the OH console is openhab-transport-coa

feature:install openhab-transport-coap

this makes installation of the Tradfri binding obsolete

hmerk · July 14, 2019, 10:20pm

Doing a
mvn clean install karaf:kar
should build a kar file with the needed dependencies. That kar file can be copied into addons folder.

markus7017 · July 15, 2019, 9:50am

I checked in a new build (alpha1)
https://github.com/markus7017/org.openhab.binding.shelly/blob/alpha1-wip/target/org.openhab.binding.shelly-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Changes:

xml definitions fixed
channels are now updating
more channels for the Plug S (LED control)
channels for roller fixed
thing definitions share a generic config definition

This is the first build, which provides regular functions

Shelly 1
not tested, but should work as the Shelly 2 limited to 1 relay
Shelly 1PM
not tested
Shelly 2 - relay mode
turn the output
meter reading
read overpower flag
open: send relay events to a trigger channel
open: need to check the auto timer, sees like incorrect documentation
Shelly 2 - roller mode
turn the roller
set roller position
meter reading
read overpower flag
get stop state (incl. obstacle detection)
open: send relay events to a trigger channel
open: there are some channels, which doesn’t get updated properly
open: need to check the timer, sees like incorrect documentation
Shelly HT
discovery should work
currently no channels, will be added soon
Shelly Bulb, Sense, RGW2
not yet supported

Please make sure to delete ALL things before installing the new version (thing definitions have changed). If the things get not discovery immediately be patient, wait some time and retry a manual scan - this might have to be done several times.

Next build will be alpha2 (please make sure to use the current release in the repo / correct download link)

markus7017 · July 15, 2019, 6:07pm

alpha2 is online
https://github.com/markus7017/org.openhab.binding.shelly/blob/alpha2/target/org.openhab.binding.shelly-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Channels for Shelly HT added
Shelly Smoke added
Shelly Bulb added
relay “output” channel fixed: get correct ON/OFF status
channels for battery devices added

Shelly HT, Shelly Bulb, Shelly Smoke are not verified - please help testing. @MHerbst

Does someone has a Shelly Smoke. The documentation seems to be incorrect, it includes only temperature sensor data, but no smoke alarm. I expect a smoke sensor to report a smoke alarm.

MHerbst · July 15, 2019, 6:16pm

I have performed the first tests (alpha1) with a Shelly Plug S.
The discovery did not work:

Adding the device manually worked.

I have create one switch item for power on and off and another number item to display the current watts.

Switching the plug on and off works. The display of the power does not work (shows only “NaN”). This is the trace output:
