These relays can be used to control 2 different loads (e.g. 2 lamps in a room) or to control the up/down motion of rolling shutters. If only the device name is set, and the device has multiple channels, the channel number will be appended to the entity name (e.g., Channel 2).

An awning that follows the weather - Outdoor motorized awnings offer pleasant shade for your guests on sunny days. However, a strong, unexcepted wind can damage them beyond repair. By combining it with a wind sensor connected to the Shelly Plus Add-on, Shelly Plus 2PM can automatically close the outside awning to protect them from the wind. Additionally, Shelly Plus Add-on with a rain sensor can trigger Shelly Plus 2PM to open the awning just in time to protect your guests. If Shelly devices are in a different subnet than the Home Assistant server, you should ensure communication on UDP port 5683 between these subnets. The Shelly Plug S added a temperature sensor and overtemperature warning, which the Shelly Plug doesn’t.

Depending on how a device’s button type is configured, the integration will create binary sensors corresponding to those inputs. binary sensors are not created when the button type is momentary or momentary_on_release, for these types you need to use events for your automations. Binary input sensors (generation 2) HomeKit News is not in any way afflilated or endorsed by Apple Inc. or any subsidiary companies related to Apple.

If Home Assistant is running as a virtual machine or service on an operating system other than Home Assistant OS, you should open UDP port 5683 on the device’s firewall and/or ensure that communication from this port is redirected to the Home Assistant service. Shelly Plus Add-on is a galvanically isolated sensor interface for all Shelly Plus relays. Use it to measure temperature and humidity using its 1-Wire terminals, or connect various analog and digital sensors for complex automation and higher efficiency. Highly compatible Overall, I’ll give Shelly credit for something that looks a bit different to your average sensor, but I imagine you’ll either love it or hate it. Personally, it’s not something I plan on looking at, to be honest, so looks aren’t that important, but my first impressions are that whilst it feels reasonably sturdy, it does feel a bit cheaply made. Still, for around €19,99 I’m not expecting it to compete with the likes of Eve products, for example, which are always very well designed. How it performs is what matters, if you don’t intend for it to be a talking piece at parties…This does mean that some configs that are more related to the device (e.g. device temp) are grouped with that light. For generation 2 hardware it’s possible to select if a device’s input is connected to a button or a switch. Binary sensors are created only if the input mode is set to switch. When the input is of type button you need to use events for your automations.

Based on this data, you can maintain a comfortable and healthy environment for your pets. Additionally, you can connect a liquid level sensor to the Add-on, and always be sure that the water level is at its optimal level. Generation 1 “Shelly 4Pro” and “Shelly Sense” are not supported (devices based on old CoAP v1 protocol)
