Make a dumb doorbell smart with Shelly 1

Hi @gerard33 is it possible to use a sonoff mini instead of the shelly 1 ?
thanks

I don’t own a Sonoff mini so can’t answer that question for you.

@gerard33, just managed to get it working with the Shelly 1 and the latest ShellyForHASS. Thanks again.

Hi Did this some time ago just had the button type on the shelly set to “Toggle” I also had it send Push notification to my iphone and Text to spech on my google home, I just need to set it back up as I moved it from a pi to a Docker container on my NAS

Finally got around doing this yesterday evening. Was done pretty fast. The most time it took looking for a 12V supply, luckily I had one laying around (I hope it wasn’t dedicated for something else…)

I Implemented it with MQTT (like I do for all my shellies). And I use the edge button type instead of the toggle. Probably both work.

Thanks again for this small tutorial

Yes you can:

However you need to wire the button to specific pins inside the sonoff. With the shelly these pins are on the outside.
If you use the outside pins of the sonoff you will put full grid power on the button (so 110V or 230V depending where you live). That is not advisable.

Thanks @gerard33, got it working!

Thnx very much for this! For a long time I was looking for an easy solution to add my dumb doorbell to HA.

My Shelly is getting very hot! Too hot to touch for 10 seconds. Is this the same at yours?

richieframe · January 11, 2021, 10:19am

My shelly runs at approx the same as human body temp when switching a 100W load, 96F… so it should not be too hot to touch

Bollux · January 11, 2021, 10:43am

How can you get the temp?

gerard33 · January 11, 2021, 4:48pm

Normal temperature here. What type of adapter did you connect?

richieframe · January 11, 2021, 5:46pm

Its should be reported on the device listing of the integration as an entity, it is not shown on the shelly web interface

gerard33 · January 11, 2021, 5:55pm

The Shelly 1 doesn’t report the temperature.

richieframe · January 11, 2021, 5:58pm

Looks like the power monitoring version does, that is all I have and they started reporting device temp since 0.118

gerard33 · January 11, 2021, 6:53pm

The Shelly 1PM indeed has power monitoring and a temperature sensor.

Hs82H · January 12, 2021, 3:18pm

This one from an obsolete router

gerard33 · January 12, 2021, 4:30pm

That one looks good. Are you able to connect another adapter however to compare?

Hs82H · January 12, 2021, 4:54pm

Nope, and my Shelly died I will buy a new one with a new adapter cause I already miss it right now! That should work better I suppose.

Hi Everyone - (might be a noob question but) does the Shelly Uni (see Shelly website) work, in the case of the dumb doorbell wiring scenario in US, where the buttons/chimes are (usually) powered by low voltage (12-24V) AC?

I mean, if we want to get rid of the 12V DC required by Shelly 1? Or maybe I didn’t read the specs correctly?

Here’s the manual: https://shelly.cloud/documents/user_guide/shelly_uni_multi_language.pdf … There’s this fig. 4B on page 2.
