Integration of Shelly modules

Hello
I don’t know where to post this question
Are Shelly modules compatible or will they be? I find these modules great and not too expensive
Thanks
Great work

Hello @pascal_sapin :slight_smile:

Gladys doesn’t have a Shelly integration per se, but Gladys can do two things:

  • Send/receive MQTT messages via our MQTT integration, and I think Shelly has an MQTT API?

See the documentation here on the Gladys side:

  • Send HTTP requests in scenes, and I think the Shelly modules have an HTTP API

See the documentation on the Gladys side:

On the side of developing a Shelly integration, I haven’t heard of any development. It would be up to a community member to do so and decide to develop a Gladys integration.

In my opinion, you can already do a lot with the links above :slight_smile:

Hello,

The tools offered here look great! But I have an issue: Shelly products publish to a topic and I can’t configure them differently… for example:

shellies/shellycolorbulb-485519DA31DB/color/0/status

Is there a way in gladys to listen to a specific topic? And not only gladys/master/device/…

I’m discovering MQTT, so maybe there’s another solution I don’t know.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Regards

Unfortunately, that is not possible as it stands.
You either need to develop an integration, or go through Node-RED which will serve as a gateway…

If this can help you (if you don’t already have it), the Shelly plugin available for eedomus:

It’s possible to do that in the scenes :slight_smile: There’s a trigger for that! It will be a bit of a hack though, but it can work

For a complete and simple integration, you’ll need a Shelly integration. It shouldn’t be very difficult to implement.

Thanks so much for your answers. I’ll take a look at all of that!

Shelly offers quality hardware at very reasonable prices, so I vote in favor of an official integration. Shelly is not going to close shop tomorrow.

I’m following up on @jumpto’s message :slight_smile:

It’s possible to listen on a specific MQTT topic in Gladys in scenes:

This would allow you to trigger a scene if a Shelly device’s status changes.

That said, I agree it doesn’t replace an official integration, but it’s already an option while waiting for someone to propose development :slight_smile:

I had made a feature request which you can vote on :wink:

Even though ideally the development of the integration would be best, it would allow covering all the needs not yet implemented in Gladys and thus attract potential users

Otherwise @jumpto you can use this tutorial as a basis to adapt it to Shelly

Hello,
Unless I’m mistaken
The first message requesting integration for the Shelly modules dates from 2022. Has a complete integration been implemented since then?
Thank you

Hi @luke!

There haven’t been any developments on this topic.

Given the number of votes (only 1), I don’t get the impression that this brand is very popular.

Feel free to vote to show your interest! :wink:

Hello,
Too bad, their modules are good and very competitive

Yes ! As always, if there’s demand I’d be happy to offer development myself or to fund hardware for someone who would like to do the development :slight_smile:

And if anyone wants to get started, don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I’m always available, and I help until it’s in production with users.

Yet Shelly is fairly well-known in the home automation community.

@luke It is possible to integrate it into Gladys via MQTT, which is natively integrated in Shelly devices

It’s a shame they offer their own non-standard, homegrown APIs instead of sticking to a standard — it’s kind of like Tuya but local ^^

I saw they’re offering Matter on their new devices; won’t their in-house API eventually be phased out?

Hello,
there will be an announcement at the end of the day

Otherwise, I saw that there was a Shelly ↔ Matter bridge:

Which would allow using older Shelly devices via the Matter protocol.

I think it would be rather « future-proof » to develop compatibility with Matter in Gladys to integrate these devices, rather than developing compatibility with a homebrew, non-standard protocol specific to Shelly.

The GEN 4 will have Matter certification

wifi, bluetooth, matter, zigbee on every device …
