Home Assistant has a native Shelly integration, but for some reason, it didn’t work with the Shelly Dimmer 2. I received an error message about the Shelly being on an unsupported firmware version. It probably will be fixed in a couple of releases. No worries though. You can integrate with the Shelly via MQTT right now. First, you need to set up an MQTT broker and integrate it with Home Assistant. I’ve explained what MQTT is, how it works, and how to set it up in Home Assistantso I won’t repeat it here. Set up MQTT on the Shelly Dimmer 2
Before you can control the device again, you’ll have to add it to your account again as a new device. DEVICE REBOOT Restore last: (Button and Switch) - Configure Shelly device to Restore the last mode it was in, when it has power.just recieved this advice from scolmore on retractive switches can anyone translate this into more plain english if i am going to be using the shelly dimmer 2 module for all of my circuits? I Just added a spring to the one that already where present (normal push button). This is how I have done in my other places using Shelly (and Fibaro Z-wave’s). And it works “OK”. It’s a bit of a plastic feeling using the spring button but considering I’m mainly automating you don’t really uses the switches. Lutron Caseta Smart Home Dimmer Switch– (luxury look and very highly rated product, but you’ll need the Caseta Smart Bridge if you don’t have one already) For battery-powered devices, the update platform entities only inform about the availability of firmware updates but are not able to trigger the update process. And at these switch box’s is it just controling the 1 set of lights or is there a switch that say at the bottom switch that controls a down stairs light ?
The integration offers device services which can be triggered by a configuration button. OTA firmware update Shelly generation 2 devices running firmware 0.12 or later can act as a Bluetooth proxy for advertisements. Active or passive listening can be enabled in the options flow. Options Shelly Plus Wall Dimmer (The Device) can switch on/off and vary the brightness of compatible dimmable lights. It can be easily wired in the place of a standard US light switch. Enhanced with all the gen2 firmware flexibility, it provides professional integrators with additional options for end customer solutions. It can work standalone in a local Wi-Fi network, or it can also be operated through cloud home automation services. Auto off: After turning on, the relay output will be automatically turned off after a predefined time (in seconds). SNTP synchronizes your device's system time with a server that has already been synchronized by another source. There is already a set server, which is the default one - http://time.google.com, however if there are any problems, you can easily change it and enter a new one in the text box. Changing this setting will reboot the device. ADVANCED DEVELOPER SETTINGSReverse input - Invert the On/Off position, aka the device will consider the switch to be on when it is off and vice versa. I have come across an issue with using these switches that needs some clarification as I’m new to buying these switches in that the apparently to use the 3 position switches to turn on and dim on their own would not allow this functionality alone and must be used with LED fittings (I assume this mean LED dimmable bulbs) or drivers that have the switchDIM functionality? Can anyone clarify what these drivers are? Or whether I would need them if I installed a Shelly dimmer 2 There are two generations of devices. Both generations are supported by this integration. There are some differences in how devices should be configured and in the naming of entities and devices between generations. Shelly device configuration (generation 1) Auto on: After turning off, the relay output will be automatically turned on after a predefined time (in seconds). The integration uses the following strategy to name its entities if the device has more than one relay:
