# Shelly Binding

This Binding integrates Shelly devices (opens new window) developed by Allterco.

Allterco provides a rich set of smart home devices. All of them are WiFi enabled (2,4GHz, IPv4 only) and provide a documented API. The binding is officially acknowledged by Allterco and openHAB is listed as a reference and directly supports the openHAB community.

The binding controls the devices independently from the Allterco Shelly Cloud (in fact it can be disabled). The binding co-exists with Shelly App for Smartphones, Shelly Device Web UI, Shelly Cloud, MQTT and other 3rd party Apps.

The binding focuses on reporting the device status and device control. Initial setup and device configuration has to be performed using the Shelly Apps (Web UI or Smartphone App). The binding gets in sync with the next status refresh.

Refer to Advanced Users for more information on openHAB Shelly integration, e.g. firmware update, network communication or log filtering.

Also check out the Shelly Manager, which

  • provides detailed information on your Shellys
  • helps to diagnose WiFi issues or device instabilities
  • includes some common actions and
  • simplifies firmware updates.

Shelly Manager could also act as a firmware upgrade proxy - the device doesn't need to connect directly to the Internet, instead openHAB services as a download proxy, which improves device security.

# Supported Devices

The binding supports both hardware generations

  • Generation 1: The original Shelly devices like the Shelly 1, Shelly 2.5, Shelly Flood etc.
  • Generation 2: The new Plus / Pro series of devices
  • Shelly Plus Mini: Shelly Plus devices in compact format
  • Shelly BLU: Bluetooth based series of devices

The binding provides the same feature set across all devices as good as possible and depending on device specific features.

# Binding Configuration

The binding has the following configuration options:

# Generation 1

Parameter Description Mandatory Default
defaultUserId Default user id for HTTP authentication when not set in the Thing no admin
defaultPassword Default password for HTTP authentication when not set in the Thing no admin
autoCoIoT Auto-enable CoIoT events when firmware 1.6+ is enabled (Gen1 only). no true

defaultUserId and defaultPassword: will be used by the binding if device protection is enabled. However, the Plus/Pro devices have a fixed user id admin`. Nevertheless the binding provide that option to allow a mixed operation of Gen 1 and 2 devices in the same installation having same defaults.

Generation 1: The binding defaults to CoIoT events when firmware 1.6 or newer is detected. CoIoT provides near-realtime updates on device status changes.

This mode also overrules event settings in the Thing configuration. Disabling this feature allows granular control, which event types will be used. This is also required when the Shelly devices are not located on the same IP subnet (e.g. using a VPN). In this case autoCoIoT should be disabled, CoIoT events will not work, because the underlying CoAP protocol is based on Multicast IP, which usually doesn't passes a VPN or routed network.

# Firmware

The binding requires firmware version 1.8.2 or newer for generation 1 to enable all features, version 1.9.2+ is recommended. Generation 2 devices require 0.10.2 or newer, the Plus HT at least 0.11.0. Some of the features are enabled dynamically or are not available depending on device type and firmware release. The Web UI of the Shelly device displays the current firmware version under Settings:Firmware and shows an update option when a newer version is available.

The current firmware version is reported in the Thing Properties. A dedicated channel (device#updateAvailable) indicates the availability of a newer firmware. Use the device's Web UI or the Shelly App to perform the update.

Check Advanced Users for information how to update your device.

Once you have updated the device you should delete and re-discover the openHAB Thing. This makes sure that the Thing is correctly initialized and all supported channels are created. openHAB will restore the channel/item linkage from the previous configuration, there is no need to re-create those manually.

# Discovery

In general devices need to be active to be discovered by the binding. Battery powered devices need to wake up by pressing the button, they will stay active for a minute or so, which gives you enough time to start the discovery.

The binding uses mDNS to discover the Shelly devices. They periodically announce their presence, which is used by the binding to find them on the local network. Sometimes you need to run the manual discovery multiple times until you see all your devices.

Important for Generation 1 Devices: It's recommended to enable CoIoT in the device settings for faster response times (event driven rather than polling). Open the device's Web UI, section "COIOT settings" and select "Enable COCIOT". It's recommended to switch the Shelly devices to CoAP peer mode if you have only your openHAB system controlling the device. This allows routing the CoIoT/CoAP messages across multiple IP subnets without special network setup required. You could use Shelly Manager (doc/ShellyManager.md) to easily do the setup (configuring the openHAB host as CoAP peer address). Keep Multicast mode if you have multiple hosts, which should receive the CoAP updates.

# Discovery of BLU Devices

The BLU devices use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The binding can't communicate directly with the device, but the Plus/Pro series with firmware 0.14.1 or newer could be used as a gateway. The binding automatically installs a script on the Shelly Device (oh-blu-scanner), which forwards the BLU events to the binding using the WebSocket channel.

Follow these steps to add the Shelly BLU Device to openHAB

  • Make sure a Shelly is near by the BLU device, enable Bluetooh on this device (the Bluetooth Gateway mode is not required)
  • Add this thing to openHAB, make sure thing gets online
  • Enable "BLU Gateway Support" in the thing configuration of the Shelly device acting as gateway.
  • Now press the button on your BLU device, this wakes up the device and the script forwards this event to the binding
  • As a result the corresponding thing should show up in the Inbox
  • Add the thing (at this point no channels are created), the new thing will show status CONFIG_PENDING
  • Click the device button again, the binding gets another event and creates the channels and thing changes status to ONLINE
  • Finally link the channels to the equipment in the model

Note: During initialization the script 'oh-blu-scanner.js' gets installed and activated on the Shelly Gateway device.

Every time an event is received sensors#lastUpdate and channels are updated with the reported values. device#wifiSignal indicates the Bluetooth signal strength and gets updated when the device sends an event.

The binding supports multiple Shelly Plus/Pro as gateway devices unless they are added as thing and are ONLINE.

# Password Protected Devices

The Shelly devices can be configured to require authorization through a user id and password. In this case you need to set these values in the Thing configuration after approving the Inbox entry.

If you have multiple devices protected by the same credentials it's recommended to set the default user id and password in the binding configuration BEFORE running the discovery. In this case the binding could directly access the device to retrieve the required information using those credentials. Otherwise a Thing of type shellyprotected is created in the Inbox and you could set the credentials while adding the Thing. In this case the credentials are persisted as part of the Thing configuration.

# Dynamic creation of channels

The Shelly series of devices has many combinations of relays, meters (different versions), sensors etc. For this the binding creates various channels dynamically based on the status information provided by the device at initialization time. If a channel is missing make sure the Thing was discovered correctly and is ONLINE. If a channel is missing delete the Thing and re-discover it. Creation of those channels takes about 5-10sec, maybe you need to reload the page to update the browser status.

# Important for battery powered devices

Make sure to wake up battery powered devices, so that they show up on the network. The Shelly Button 1 needs to be connected to USB, other devices like Flood have a push button inside. For those open the case, press that button and the LED starts flashing. Wait a moment and then start the discovery. The device should show up in the Inbox and can be added. Sometimes you need to run the discovery multiple times.

# Roller Favorites

Firmware 1.9.2+ for Shelly 2.5 and 0.11+ for Plus 2PM in roller mode supports so called roller favorites for positions. You could use the Shelly App to setup 4 different positions (percentage) and assign id 1-4. The channel roller#rollerFav allows to select those from openHAB and the roller moves to the desired position. In the Thing configuration you could also configure an id when the roller#control channel receives UP or DOWN. Values 1-4 are selecting the corresponding favorite id in the Shelly App, 0 means no favorite.

# Thing Status

The binding sets the following Thing status depending on the device status:

Status Description
INITIALIZING This is the default status while initializing the Thing. Once the initialization is triggered the Thing switches to Status UNKNOWN.
UNKNOWN Indicates that the status is currently unknown, which must not show a problem. Usually the Thing stays in this status when the device is in sleep mode. Once the device is reachable and was initialized the Thing switches to status ONLINE.
ONLINE ONLINE indicates that the device can be accessed and is responding properly. Battery powered devices also stay ONLINE when in sleep mode. The binding has an integrated watchdog timer supervising the device, see below. The Thing switches to status OFFLINE when some type of communication error occurs.
OFFLINE Communication with the device failed. Check the Thing status in the UI and openHAB's log for an indication of the error. Try restarting OH or deleting and re-discovering the Thing. You could also post to the community thread if the problem persists.
CONFIG PENDING The thing has been initialized, but device initialization is in progress or pending (e.g. waiting for device wake-up)
ERROR: COMM Communication with the device has reported an error, check detailed status.

Battery powered devices: If the device is in sleep mode and can't be reached by the binding, the Thing will change into CONFIG_PENDING. Once the device wakes up, the Thing will perform initialization and the state will change to ONLINE.

The first time a device is discovered and initialized successfully, the binding will be able to perform auto-initialization when OH is restarted. Waking up the device triggers the a status report (CoIoT packet for event url for Gen1 and WebSocket call for Gen2), which is processed by the binding and triggers initialization. Once a device is initialized, it is no longer necessary to manually wake it up after an openHAB restart unless you change the battery. In this case press the button and run the discovery again.

# Device Watchdog

The binding supervises availability of the device once it becomes ONLINE by sending periodic status requests to the device. The watchdog is restarted when the device is responding properly.

Communication errors are handled depending on the device type:

  • regular power devices change to OFFLINE, because this status indicates an error
  • battery powered devices stay ONLINE, because usually the device is in sleep mode

The binding also monitors that the device is responding at least once within a given time period. The period is computed depending on the device type and configuration:

  • battery powered devices: <sleepPeriod from device config> + 10min, usually 12h+10min=730min
  • else, if CoIoT or WebSocket is enabled: 3*<update Period from device settings>+10sec, usually3*15+10=45sec
  • else 2*60+10sec = 130sec

Once the timer expires the device switches to OFFLINE and the bindings starts to re-initialize the device periodically.

You could also create a rule to catch those status changes or device alarms (see rule examples).

# Thing Configuration

Parameter Description Mandatory Default
deviceIp IP address of the Shelly device yes none
userId The user id used for HTTP authentication no none
password Password for HTTP authentication no none
brightnessAutoOn true: Output will be activated when brightness > 0 is set no true

# General Notes

Every device has a channel group device with the following channels:

Group Channel Type read-only Description
device deviceName String yes Device name as configured in the Shelly App
uptime Number yes Number of seconds since the device was powered up
wifiSignal Number yes WiFi signal strength (4=excellent, 3=good, 2=not string, 1=unreliable, 0=none)
internalTemp Number yes Internal device temperature (when provided by the device)
selfTest String yes Result from device self-test (pending/not_completed/running/completed/unknown)
alarm Trigger yes Self-Test result not_completed/completed/running/pending
supplyVoltage Number yes Shelly 1PM, 1L, 2.5: Supply voltage (fixed or measured depending on device)
accumulatedWatts Number yes Accumulated power in W of the device (including all meters)
accumulatedTotal Number yes Accumulated total power in kwh of the device (including all meters)
accumulatedReturned Number yes Accumulated returned power in kwh of the device (including all meters)
heartBeat DateTime yes Timestamp of the last successful device communication
updateAvailable Switch yes ON: A firmware update is available
statusLed Switch r/w ON: Status LED is disabled, OFF: LED enabled
powerLed Switch r/w ON: Power LED is disabled, OFF: LED enabled
charger Switch yes ON: USB charging cable is connected external power supply activated.
calibrated Switch yes ON: Device/sensor is calibrated (if supported by device).

Availability of channels is depending on the device type. The binding detects many of those channels on-the-fly (when Thing changes to ONLINE state) and adjusts the Thing's channel structure. The device must be discovered and ONLINE to successfully complete this process. The accumulated channels are only available for devices with more than 1 meter. accumulatedReturned only for the EM and 3EM. The LED channels are available for the Plug-S with firmware 1.6x and for various other devices with firmware 1.8 or newer. The binding detects them automatically.

# Events

# Generation 1: Action URLs vs. CoIoT

Depending on the firmware release the Shelly devices supports 2 different mechanims to report sensor updates or events.

  1. Action URLs Usually the binding polls the device to update the status and maps the returned values to the various channels. In addition the binding can register so-called Action URLs. Those events are triggered by the device to report special events. You need to disable autoCoIoT in the binding configuration to make specific selections for the Action events.

    The following event types could be registered when enabled in the Thing configuration:

    Event Type Description
    eventsButton This event is triggered when the device is in button mode. The device reports the ON/OFF status of the button.
    eventsSwitch This event reports the status of the relay output. This could change by the button or API calls.
    eventsPush The device reports the short/longpush events when in button mode momentary, momentary_on_release, one_button or two_button
    eventsSensorReport Sensor devices (like H&T) provide sensor updates when this action URL is enabled.

    Important: The binding defaults to CoIoT when firmware 1.6 or newer is detected. This has significant experience improvements and also prevents interfering with other applications, because the device only supports one set of Action URLs.

  2. CoIoT / CoAP Starting with version 1.6 the devices reports most status values via the CoIoT protocol. CoIoT provides near-realtime updates and better event support. Firmware 1.7 adds additional status values, also supported by the binding. Version 1.8 introduces CoIoT version 2, which fixes various issues with version 1 and provides almost all relevant status updates.

    If there is no specific reason you should enable CoIoT. Check section Network Settings here for more information.

    Enable the autoCoIoT option in the binding configuration or eventsCoIoT in the Thing configuration to activate CoIoT.

# Generation 2: WebSockets

The Plus and Pro series of devices use WebSockets for device communication. Usually the binding establishes a WebSocket connection to the device (http port 80). However, battery powered devices like the Plus HT are not reachable while the device is in sleep mode. For those the binding sets up a so called "Outbound WebSocket" during device initialization. Afterwards the device wakes up and calls the configured URL, which is the processed by the binding. The device UI shows the URL when active. Battery powered devices could only report events to a single host, take care if you have multiple openHAB instances on the same network.

# Button events

Various devices signal an event when the physical button is pressed. This could be a switch connected to the SW input of the relay or the Button 1 or 2.

The following trigger types are sent:

Event Type Description
SHORT_PRESSED The button was pressed once for a short time (lastEvent=S)
DOUBLE_PRESSED The button was pressed twice with short delay (lastEvent=SS)
TRIPLE_PRESSED The button was pressed three times with short delay (lastEvent=SSS)
LONG_PRESSED The button was pressed for a longer time (lastEvent=L)
SHORT_LONG_PRESSED A short followed by a long button push (lastEvent=SL)
LONG_SHORT_PRESSED A long followed by a short button push (lastEvent=LS)

Check the channel definitions for the various devices to see if the device supports those events. You could use the Shelly App to set the timing for those events.

If you want to use those events triggering a rule:

  • If a physical switch is connected to the Shelly use the input channel(input or input1/input2) to trigger a rule
  • For a momentary button use the button trigger channel as trigger, channels lastEvent and eventCount will provide details on the event

# Alarms

The binding provides health monitoring functions for the device. When an alarm condition is detected the channel alarm gets triggered and provides one of the following alarm types:

A new alarm will be triggered on a new condition or every 5 minutes if the condition persists.

# Non-battery powered devices

Event Type Description
RESTARTED The device has been restarted. This could be an indicator for a firmware problem.
WEAK_SIGNAL An alarm is triggered when RSSI is < -80, which indicates an unstable connection.
OVER_TEMP The device is overheating, check installation and housing.
OVER_LOAD An over load condition has been detected, e.g. from the roller motor.
OVER_POWER Maximum allowed power was exceeded. The relay was turned off.
LOAD_ERROR Device reported a load problem, so far Dimmer only.

# Sensors

Event Type Description
POWERON Device was powered on.
PERIODIC Periodic wakeup.
BUTTON Button was pressed, e.g. to wake up the device.
SENSOR Wake-up due to updated sensor data.
ALARM Alarm condition was detected, check status, could be OPENED for the DW, flood alarm, smoke alarm
BATTERY Device reported an update to the battery status.
TEMP_UNDER Below "temperature under" threshold
TEMP_OVER Above "temperature over" threshold
VIBRATION A vibration/tamper was detected (DW2 only)

Refer to section Full Example for examples how to catch alarm triggers in openHAB rules.

Please note that the settings of channel group color are only valid in color mode and vice versa for white mode. The current firmware doesn't support the timestamp report for the meters. The binding emulates this by using the system time on every update.

In white mode each RGBW2 channel is defined as DimmableLight. This means that the brightness channel has 2 functions

  • Sending ON/OFF (OnOffType) to power on/off the channel
  • Sending a Number to set the brightness (percentage 0..100)

Sending brightness 0 will automatically turn off the channel if it's currently on. Sending brightness > 0 will automatically turn on the channel if it's currently off. You can define 2 items (1 Switch, 1 Number) mapping to the same channel, see example rules.
