I’ve managed to put together a way to more easily make sure all my shelly devices have the same configuration via Home Assistant and make deployment easier.
This assumes:
- Shelly device is setup in HA already via Shelly integration
- All Shelly devices will have the same password set in secrets.yaml
- username is admin
On all devices it will:
- Enable MQTT and set auth per config
- Disable Cloud
- Disable Bluetooth
- Disable AP
- Set Shelly Device Name to match the HA Entity name
- Set timezone to Europe/London (you can change this of course)
- Set NTP server to time.cloudflare.com (you can change this in secrets.yaml)
- Set a password on the shelly device if not already set
- Reboot the Shelly Device (to apply all changes)
Please feel free to chip in if anything can be done better,
Add to configuration.yaml:
command_line:
- sensor:
name: shelly_inventory
command: "cat /config/shelly_inventory.json"
# Keep state short so it never exceeds 255 chars
value_template: "{{ value_json.devices | length }}"
json_attributes:
- devices
scan_interval: 3600
rest_command:
shelly_rpc_post:
url: "http://{{ ip }}/rpc/{{ rpc_method }}"
method: post
headers:
Content-Type: "application/json"
payload: "{{ payload }}"
authentication: digest
username: !secret shelly_admin_user
password: !secret shelly_admin_password
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Shelly Admin User"
unique_id: shelly_admin_user
state: !secret shelly_admin_user
- name: "Shelly Admin Password"
unique_id: shelly_admin_password
state: !secret shelly_admin_password
- name: "Shelly MQTT Host"
unique_id: shelly_mqtt_host
state: !secret shelly_mqtt_host
- name: "Shelly MQTT Port"
unique_id: shelly_mqtt_port
state: !secret shelly_mqtt_port
- name: "Shelly MQTT User"
unique_id: shelly_mqtt_user
state: !secret shelly_mqtt_user
- name: "Shelly MQTT Pass"
unique_id: shelly_mqtt_pass
state: !secret shelly_mqtt_pass
- name: "Shelly NTP Server"
unique_id: shelly_ntp_server
state: !secret shelly_ntp_server
Add to secrets.yaml:
shelly_mqtt_port: '1883'
shelly_mqtt_user: 'your-shelly-mqtt-username'
shelly_mqtt_pass: 'your-shelly-mqtt-password'
shelly_mqtt_host: 'your-mqtt-host'
shelly_admin_user: 'admin'
shelly_admin_password: 'your-shelly-device-password'
shelly_ntp_server: 'time.cloudflare.com'
CREATE new file in /config/ called ‘shelly_inventory.json’ - This is the easiest way to quickly add devices so the script knows what’s what and tie it all together:
{
"devices": [
{
"ip": "192.168.107.16",
"ha_entity": "light.kitchen_spotlights",
"shelly_id": "shellydimmerg3-e4b123"
},
{
"ip": "192.168.107.24",
"ha_entity": "switch.heating",
"shelly_id": "shelly1pmminig3-e4b0123"
},
{
"ip": "192.168.107.11",
"ha_entity": "light.bedroom_light",
"shelly_id": "shellydimmerg3-b0123"
},
{
"ip": "192.168.107.19",
"ha_entity": "switch.patio_lights",
"shelly_id": "shelly1pmminig3-e4123"
},
{
"ip": "192.168.107.12",
"ha_entity": "light.office_light",
"shelly_id": "shellydimmerg3-e123"
},
{
"ip": "192.168.107.18",
"ha_entity": "light.guest_room",
"shelly_id": "shellydimmerg3-e123"
}
]
}
This assumes you’ve already got the devices all setup and configured in Home Assistant, the link enables the script to pull the ha_entity name and set it on the shelly device. The shelly_id is needed to connect to the Shelly API.
The script - Copy and paste this into Script in your HA:

dry_run: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.shelly_dry_run','on') }}"

DO NOT COME AT ME IF THIS BREAKS ANYTHING 
I did have to reset one of my devices when it messed up the password while I was debugging
