Shelly Input channel

Hello,

I have aproblem with the Shelly-Binding. I try to read when the button is pressed. I would like to get a state OFF and if I press it again the state should change to ON.

As mentioned on the shelly-binding side, I have to add the #input channel. I added the item with a switch like that:

{channel="shelly:shelly25-relay:c4d0c1:relay1#input"}

The output channel is working perfectly. But the state of the input item is no changing if i press the button.

Does anyone have a idea what’s wrong with my configuration?

Best regards

Do you see anything in the logs regarding the input?

You may need to define both input and output channels.
Doc’s example:

Switch Shelly_XXXXX3_Relay        "Garage Light"                  {channel="shelly:shelly1:XXXXX3:relay#output"}
Switch Shelly_XXXXX3_Input        "Garage Switch (Input)"         {channel="shelly:shelly1:XXXXX3:relay#input"}

The input is not changing in the log. And I added both input and output.

In the things file, I added the normal configuration and additionlly the parameter “eventsButton”. This one is set on “true”.

Thing shelly:shelly25-relay:XXXXX3 "Shelly 25 Relay XXXXX3" @ "Hall Way" [deviceIp="x.x.x.x", eventsButton="true"]

Sounds like the channel is not linking with OH (no brainer right, :laughing:). Have a look at github and see if there is an issue similar to yours. If not you may want to open one.

I have this issue too. Items update, but sometimes it takes up to a minute - so it appears openHAB is polling each device perhaps, but push updates are not being received.

I used the Shelly app to look at the Actions settings for each of my devices, and found that the IP address configured there (169.254.13.17) was NOT the IP of my openHAB installation (192.168.x.x). Presumably the Shelly binding sets those URLs, I sure didn’t do it. Changing that IP address to my openHAB IP address fixed the issue, and the updates happen right away.

Unfortunately, when I delete and re-add the Thing (I’m using .thing files), the binding sets the Action URLs all back to that weird IP address - which isn’t even my ISP-assigned IP. I get this in my logs (I think one Shelly has a bad connection):

PS Thank you for the link @H102 but I don’t think it’s feasible to look through the 321 pages of results the link sends me to to resolve this problem. I can’t see any Shelly binding issues there.

Any ideas why the binding is applying this strange IP address?

Ah, I can see how to get only Shelly issues now - the link by @H102 may have been incorrectly URL encoded - hopefully this works and only has 3 pages of issues:

https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues?q=is%3Aissue+Shelly+

Looks like I should probably do an update, since I’m on 2.5.0 and now there is 2.5.6. I will try this as there seems to be a lot of active development of this pretty wonderful binding.
