Shellies Discovery Gen2

⚠️ WARNING

Please do not update firmware to 0.12.0 if you are using consumption type for relays. The new firmware does not handle consumption type correctly.

This script adds MQTT discovery support for Shelly Gen2 devices in the Home Assistant.

Prerequisites

This script needs Home Assistant python_script component so, if you never used it, I strongly suggest you to follow the official instruction and check that python_script is properly configured and it's working.

For the device to work with the script, it must have MQTT configured and options RPC status notifications over MQTT and Generic status update over MQTT enabled.

Installation

You can download shellies_discovery_gen2.py file and save it in <config>/python_scripts folder or install the script via HACS. You won't find Shellies Discovery Gen2 in the HACS Integrations section, nor add it as a custom repository. You must have a properly configured python_script component to be able to install the script from the HACS Automations section.

Shellies Discovery Gen2 will automatically install/update the script on your Shelly device. Due to python_scripts integration limitations, updating the device script requires the announce automation to run twice.

Supported devices

Shelly Plus 1
Shelly Plus 1PM
Shelly Plus 2PM
Shelly Plus H&T
Shelly Plus I4
Shelly Plus Plug S
Shelly Plus Plug US
Shelly Plus Smoke
Shelly Plus Wall Dimmer
Shelly Pro 1
Shelly Pro 1PM
Shelly Pro 2
Shelly Pro 2PM
Shelly Pro 3
Shelly Pro 4PM

Battery powered devices

Battery powered devices like Plus H&T are put to sleep most of the time. For this reason, adding/updating entities configuration for a device should be done as follows:

enter the device into setup mode (press the button on the device)
manually run Shellies Announce Gen2 automation

How to debug

To debug the script add this to your logger configuration:

# configuration.yaml file
logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.python_script: debug
    homeassistant.components.automation: info

Supported platforms

binary sensor
button
fan
light
sensor
switch
update

Supported features

the device name is taken from the device configuration
the relay name is taken from the device configuration
the relay consumption type is taken from the device configuration (consumption type must contain light or fan to configure light or fan platform)
if the input type is set to button, device automation triggers are available
custom MQTT prefixes are supported

Script arguments

key	optional	type	default	description
`discovery_prefix`	True	string	`homeassistant`	MQTT discovery prefix
`qos`	True	integer	`0`	MQTT QoS, you can use `0`, `1` or `2`
