Do mean it is wrong to use MQTT instead of the shelly-binding? I guess one doesn’t exclude the other, does it? Or does the binding need the shelly cloud?
One disadvantage with MQTT seems to be that you don’t get access to all the data (I have not yet found how to get the wifi signal strength), but while I was able to get the DW2 to work via MQTT, I could not get it to work with the binding. I also suspect that MQTT may be faster and more energy efficient, but I’m not sure.
the topic is a little bit old but I’m acutally wondering why I can’t link items to the Windows open/closed status. Is there any specific thing I have to do. In the Shelly ap it works fine and I can see the actual status.
I’m not sure what you mean by that. I’m not fluent in the openHAB terminology, but I wouldn’t know what it would mean to link an item to a status. In my mind, an item has a status. In my model, it looks like this:
