I was not able to call the link directly at home’s network so I created a rule that didn’t show “HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized” :-). After I red @Oliver2 reply I decided to try the link once again - right hand side is Chrome.

Anyway, the output of Shelly.GetConfig and Shelly.GetStatus is attached below.

I have a question about the accumulated channels/values for a Shelly 3EM device. Since this thread is so long I’m not sure if it was answered already before, sorry.

This could also be a device implementation but not sure if the binding does anything to those numbers.

Speaking about
device#accumulatedWTotal
device#accumulatedReturned

Both numbers are deviating quite a bit from my official grid powermeter. Both are too high.

So my current guess is that the Shelly device (or binding?) calculates every phase for itself and sums the values up in the end?
Which is most likely something different to what the grid meter does as I expect that it creates a total of the three phases at any point in time and counts that one.
Due to my solar panels (and battery) it happens often that one phase fetches power from the grid while another one feeds back power at the same time.
Therefore both counters are increasing while the grid meter potentially balances those out.

So is the assumption correct? And would this be considered a bug or a feature?

[markus7017 (Markus Michels)]

yes, the device doesn‘t provide a total value, so the only thing I could do is to sum up the 3 phases, except someone has a better idea

[Wolfgang_Rosenauer]

I guess there is no other choice in that case if the device does not provide the total counter.
Also found related threads somewhere else meanwhile:
https://openhabforum.de/viewtopic.php?t=6709&start=10

Shelly 3EM nicht geeignet für PV-Anlagen mit Eigenverbrauch - Offizielles...

For me it’s just cosmetical as I do not rely on energy measurements of the Shelly but just the actual power measurement.

I’m on OH 4.0.1 and try to use Shelly Binding 4.1.0 but receive error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.openhab.binding.shelly.internal.handler.ShellyRelayHandler cannot be cast to class org.openhab.binding.shelly.internal.handler.ShellyThingInterface (org.openhab.binding.shelly.internal.handler.ShellyRelayHandler is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @2d7e3625; org.openhab.binding.shelly.internal.handler.ShellyThingInterface is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @153a7511)

Should that play together?

[d_valchev (Dimitar)]

I’m still looking for a solution on missing Add-on channels as I only have i4dc devices.
So, I’d appreciate ideas/help.

[igi (Igor Jasan)]

As I mentioned above, this is a bug. This must be fixed by the developer.

In the meantime, feel free to create a bug report on:

@d_valchev

I connected Shelly Plus Add-On to Shelly Plus i4 DC (FW: 1.0.0-gaec0744 … not sure if it’s Add-on fw as there is a message 0.14.0 update available).
The device has been discovered by the binding (OH 4.0.2) 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?

Thanks @igi, I as initially posted I’m new to the shelly things. Different people has different preferences and it takes time to understand the binding developer preferences.
Also, as openhab is community driven such issues might be rated as low priority, depending on overall binding stability, so writing in the community should help me and others who encounter similar issues to understand what to expect.

@d_valchev
Regarding your initial question: how can I create the channels manually.

The Shelly Binding creates the channels automatically. If they were not created, then it is mostly a bug.
You cannot create the channels manually in this case. Data would not be processed.

What you saw in your debug log is the generic status message from the Shelly device. But currently not all status messages from the data packet are processed by the binding.

You have to be patient until this is fixed. Markus is currently still on vacation.
If it is urgent, you might have to work with MQTT.

Well, I cannot say it’s urgent. I’m trying to restore my setup due to dead Beaglebone Black (I have replaced its gpios with two Shelly Uni and couple of Shelly i4DC + Add-on), so now I’m just missing the room’s temperature and some other sensors data, which is linked to few rules.
Anyway, MQTT usually works well but now I’m running my setup on Synology where 3-rd parity software isn’t welcomed at all (Docker container is an option but I’m afraid that the NAS resources (cpu in particular) will limit me at some point of time).

Will Shelly Wall Display be supported?

[igi (Igor Jasan)]

Yes, the Wall Display will be supported. Probably is it already in the last 4.1.0 DEV version at Github. Otherwise…soon.
Please remember the Wall Display is not working without the Cloud.
The Binding supports the relay and the sensors.

[markus7017 (Markus Michels)]

Yes, Wall Display is already supported

I’ll have a look into Addons support for i4/i4DC when I’m back in about 2 weeks

hi @markus7017 ,
I have OH 3.1.0
I want to add Shelly+ 1pm. I tried to use 3.4.5 build jar but I got this error: 1:57:27.045 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/home/adomi/Veev_Server/addons/org.openhab.binding.shelly-3.4.5-SNAPSHOT.jar
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.shelly [295]
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.eclipse.californium.core; version="[2.7.0,3.0.0)

is it possible to use this binding version with my OH? or OH should be updated?

[aenotiad (Andreas Enotiadis)]

So before I open an issue - just in case I am missing something blindingly obvious - here’s a funny one
Openhab 4.0.3 stable as openhabian on Pi 4B
Shelly binding installed from UI
Shelly plus 2pm version 1.0.3 with sensor add-on and DS18B20
When discovering the Sghelly and adding it to the things DB the temperature sensor in the add-on is added as a channel only if the Shelly is in switch mode. If in cover mode then the Shelly reports the add-on during the thing add process but the channel never gets created. Is it something obvious I am missing or should I open a bug?

But sensor temperature channel never added

(no it is not showing if show advanced is clicked either)

it’s pretty simple: I never testet in switch mode; I’ll work on that when back from vacation.
Create an issue so I don’t forget it.
