Shelly wifi device integration

So bulbs doesn’t show the correct status in SmartThings? Does it show the correct status in the Shelly app?

Same time doesn’t show the correct status, but not every time. In the app shelly is correct.

Hi,
I have installed Shelly 2.5 for lights, everything working fine. I have integrate Shelly cloud with Smartthings app, the only issue that smartthings app showing incorrect status of the device when I use the physical switch only. Fun thing is, when I have installed shelly 2.5 switch everyting was working fine bit after two days problem showed up. Is anybody have idea how to fix it?

Hi @Coolby, @Hiato I ask you, you seem to me 2 people who at least a year ago were very interested in this integration, is this still the case?
Why hasn’t Shelly implemented use with SmartThings locally and not cloud to cloud as it is now?
What I still don’t understand is if the will is lacking. I inquired and I see that Philips Hue allows integration with SmartThings locally, even the guys from Tasmota have developed an integration that works locally, and their firmware can be loaded on Shelly devices and work locally. Now I wonder then, why Shelly staff didn’t do it? I would really hope for this integration, the Smartthings community is very large globally and nobody is willing to invest in devices that do not work locally, this would be a great chance to increase customers in my opinion.
My electronic and IT knowledge is limited, I have informed myself and more people have confirmed to me that the current shelly firmware are adequate to be able to work locally on ST, what is missing is a connector between shelly and smartthings, as happens on Tasmota devices to understand each other. Do any of you have any more information to explain to me if I have misinterpreted something?
I would be very happy to find a solution to make Shelly work locally without having to install Tasmota Firmware and thus lose the use of the Shelly app.

(completely ignoring long technical description i wrote and deleted)

That woukd require HUGE technical changes by the device manufacturer that honestly is not in thier best interest from a business perspective.

Short version… Wont happen.

The landscape for this issue completely changes after the HA industry Project CHIP becomes a legitimate standard. Its in its infancy at the moment so we’re a couple years from that.

I thank you for the answer. My skills on the subject are few, very few, perhaps this is why I struggled to understand. I understood that the only thing missing is a link between Shelly and Smarthings, and that shellys don’t need any changes to do this. If not, then I apologize for the request, I understand that if the devices need to be modified, the company has no interest in doing so.

Shelly does work locally with other hubs…so it is possible… :wink: I am just not sure that ST exposes enough LAN connectivity functionality via the Hub to make Shelly devices run locally.

Hi !
One way I found is to flash the shelly with Tasmota and then use them through the Tasmota smartapp.
The Shelly Cloud integration was unreliable and disconnected from time to time.

Basically yes, that’s exactly why Tasmota works like it does - you REPLACE the device’s firmware. A ESP8266 based device with Tasmota is no longer really a (enter device manufacturer here) It’s Tasmota now… (Insert Borg joke about assimilation) Because the first thing you have to do is stop the device from talking to its native back end and use yours instead.

You can run local HTTP calls and listen - (I do this for my Fully tablets with WebCore) but they still have to go to the cloud to be processed. The only way to do that would be for ST to load a DTH that did HTTP or MQTT comms on the hub. (like the SuperLAN Connect module does)

Tasmota worked in the old Groovy way of doing things with Tasmota connect (as @eisenkremer mentions) is basically a MQTT implementation for ESP8266 devices. The new world order way of connecting ESP8266 devices via MQTT to SmartThings is via the Direct Connect method. Docs here: SmartThings Developers | Documentation (samsung.com)

So, in theory, Shelly (or any other ESP8266 based device vendor, Sonoff, etc.) could implement that, or quite honestly someone could implement a Tasmota direct connect Schema device and all of them would work just like they do with Tasmota connect. It’s still not local but does eliminate hops between your device and ST and would be no worse than Tasmota Connect and definitely better than a cloud to cloud double hop. That said, I suspect on a whiteboard back at ST HQ somewhere, that there are plans (Disclaimer: no, I don’t have insider knowledge on that one, just a strong hunch and some analysis of the changes they’re making) to allow MQTT direct connect through a hub in the future.

any one got recent news on Shelly sensors (particularly new DW2) integrating more with ST? Currently only status/ battery shows, not Temp/ Lux/ Vibration/ Tilt…
Given the HT and Flood display Temp from above then I would have thought at least some would carry over.

I have a Shelly 1 with the temperature addon but i cant figure how to get the temp reading on smartthings. The Shelly 1 only shows as a normal switch. Anyone knows how to get the temp? On Groovy Ide i can see temp reading but not on the app…

Did you find the solution?

Not really no…

I’m having the same issue but with the new shelly plus 1 and the add-on connected to a ds18b20 sensor. It is keen for a group of automations to work. Did you find the solution?

Do you have a SmartThings/Aeotec hub, and if so, which model?

The normal integration is cloud to cloud, and does not require a smartthings hub. But if you do have one, there is a community-built integration which exposes more of the capabilities of these devices.

If you don’t have one, get in touch with Shelly support. When this thread was first created, there was no official integration, but there is one now, and it is created and maintained by Shelly.

Thanks. I don’t have an hub, but I will buy one just to be able to have better integration. In the meanwhile, I contacted Shelly, but still without any reply.

In that case, here’s the community discussion. As noted, this will require that you have a smartthings/Aeotec hub.

There are a couple of different edge drivers, depending on the exact Shelly models you want to integrate.

I can confirm that they work perfectly with my shelly1 shelly 1p and shelly 3em (but i don’t use add-on). I recommend it

Thanks. Already bought a v2 Hub so next week I will test the integration of the shelly plus 1+add-on.
