Edge Shelly drivers for Gen1 and Gen2 Devices

Thanks everybody for expressing their interest in getting Edge drivers for Shelly devices. Since no one has informed us here that they are already working on this, I will start work on this immediately!

My initial plan is to have one driver that has a ‘creator’ device (like my vEdge driver) that you would use to select a shelly model, and a corresponding SmartThings device would then be created. In that new device’s settings you will configure the Shelly device’s IP, as I don’t see a way to discover these devices on the LAN automatically. There may also be other config settings depending in on the model.

I will begin with the Shelly 1, 2.5, and motion sensor, and expand out from there. Since I only have a motion sensor, I will be depending on volunteers to be able to do testing for me. Luckily Shelly has a very clear and nicely-documented API, so hopefully there won’t be too many surprises coding-wise. For those of you that can, I would ask that you get the CLI installed on a computer where you can run logging for Edge drivers. Please see my post here for instructions on how to get it installed.

I’ll report back within a few days with an update.
