@covert marsh

#

Post the sensors you have

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

Hi. I have a Shelly 4 Pro PM

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

what's the topic?

#

and you just want the 4 relays?

#

MQTT topic

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

Let me run down to my PC

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

Well anyways, Assuming that you want what's listed in that blog...

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

You wanna do a screenshare?

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

I'll just write it out here

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

OK. So the SHelly 4 Pro has Switches Power meters and binary sensors. I am trying to have them as entities in HASS. The Broker is receiving data already. I just need to understand how to set the entities up.

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

you'd set them up via YAML

#

create a folder named mqtt in your config folder

#

or if you want, you can just create a single file named mqtt.yaml

#

choice is yours

#

but you have to tell me what you did

#

I'll just assume you're going with the folder

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

folder , yes

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

add

mqtt: !include_dir_merge_list mqtt

to configuration.yaml

#

this points the MQTT integration to that folder

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

will this break my zigbee2mqtt setup?

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

no

#

next create an emtpy yaml file in the mqtt folder, name it whatever you want. I'd do something like shelly_4_pro.yaml

#

what's the device ID for this?

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

let me check

#

miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

so when you browse to that location, it has a relay inner portion?

#

are you using MQTT explorer?

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

yes

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

ok, are you on a windows computer?

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

yeah I get all that, I need to see something

#

so, do you have teamviewer setup on whatever you'

#

're using MQTT exploerer on?

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

i do

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

you have an ID and pw?

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

can we share via pn instead of public...? 😉

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

k

@covert marsh I see you've already provided me w/ the info I need here. Give me a moment

sorry, just using this as a placeholder

#

@covert marsh here

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

yep

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

the switch topic

#

which represents the switch itself?

#

the on/off

#

and do you know the command topic to turn the switch on and off?

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

that one Blog says it should be along the lines of:

/switches/din/shelly_4pro.yaml

platform: mqtt
name: "4Pro - Channel 1"
expire_after: 604800
qos: 1
command_topic: "shellies/shelly4pro-<deviceid>/relay/0/command"
payload_on: "on"
payload_off: "off"
state_topic: "shellies/shelly4pro-<deviceid>/relay/0"
Remove the line below if the value_template doesn't function properly
value_template: {{ 'on' if value == 'on' else 'off' }} # Test for capturing 'overpower' state

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

yeah, but that's completely incorrect based on your topic

#

pretty much everything about that is incorrect based on what you've shared

#

right now, I can create both the power & energy readings

#

w/o needing any other info

#

the switch, we'd need to know the command topic to turn it on/off and we'd need to know what value represents the switch being on

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:28 PM

#

it should be the "output":true

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:28 PM

#

alright and what about the on/off command

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

trying out...

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

Here's your 2 sensors, you can paste this into your file

- sensor:
    name: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Power"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Power"
    unit_of_measurement: 'W'
    expire_after: 86400
    device_class: power
    state_class: measurement
    qos: 1
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.apower }}"
- sensor:
    name: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Energy"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Energy"
    unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
    expire_after: 86400
    device_class: energy
    state_class: total_increasing
    qos: 1
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.aenergy.total / 60000 }}"

#

#

So all that's left is your switches

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen1/#shelly4pro-overview

#

does this help?

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

well that's the pro

#

not the propm

#

and your topics look completely different

#

you don't have a relays section at all

covert marsh Nov 8, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/Devices/ShellyPro4PM

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

it does help

#

- switch:
    name: "4Pro - Relay 1"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Relay 1"
    expire_after: 604800
    qos: 1
    command_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/command/switch:0"
    payload_on: "on"
    payload_off: "off"
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: {{ 'on' if value_json.output else 'off' }}

#

that should be the relay

#

all together for 1 switch that should go inside the shelly_4_pro_pm.yaml file (or whatever you named it):

- sensor:
    name: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Power"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Power"
    unit_of_measurement: 'W'
    expire_after: 86400
    device_class: power
    state_class: measurement
    qos: 1
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.apower }}"
- sensor:
    name: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Energy"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Channel 1 - Energy"
    unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
    expire_after: 86400
    device_class: energy
    state_class: total_increasing
    qos: 1
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.aenergy.total / 60000 }}"
- switch:
    name: "4Pro - Relay 1"
    unique_id: "4Pro - Relay 1"
    expire_after: 604800
    qos: 1
    command_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/command/switch:0"
    payload_on: "on"
    payload_off: "off"
    state_topic: "miedzyzdroje/shellypro4pm-84cca87fe874/status/switch:0"
    value_template: {{ 'on' if value_json.output else 'off' }}

narrow nimbus Nov 8, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

you just need to copy/paste that whole chunk 3 more times, and increment the switch:0 to switch:1 after each one.

#works for me, added you as friend here,

/switches/din/shelly_4pro.yaml

Remove the line below if the value_template doesn't function properly
