Problem with Shelly new ht plus sensor

Bieniu · September 12, 2022, 2:57pm

Plus HT is not yet supported in HA core. You can use Shellies Discovery Gen2 to configure the device right now.

With Shellies Discovery Gen2 this device is fully supported

Just got the Shelly Plus H&T in the mail and have it connected to wifi. It was discovered by home assistant and I have the temperature and humidity entities, but as soon as the device goes to sleep Home Assistant lists it as unavailable.

Using Home Assistant 2022.9.2
Shelly Plus H&T has firmware version 0.11.0 (20220830-130838/0.11.0-gfa1bc37)

Hoping someone has any tips, and if not then I guess it is a bug and will have to find out if it is a shelly-problem or a home assistant-problem.

There is an issue registered with Home Assistant regarding this problem.

Shelly Integration not working with battery powered devices, that enter sleep mode.

needs-more-information integration: shelly

### The problem The Shelly integration will not receive any data from any devic…e that spends most of its time in sleep mode (the Shelly H&T, H&T plus and the magnetic door sensor). If I manually wake up such a device, the Shelly integration works perfectly and data is continually collected. However, once they enter sleep mode, no data will ever be sent again to the integration, no matter how long I wait. The devices work as they should, they wake up, connect to wifi, send data and then go back to sleep, but the Shelly integration will never again see them and will never again get anymore data from them. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2022.9.2 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? none ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Integration causing the issue Shelly ### Link to integration documentation on our website https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/shelly/ ### Diagnostics information [config_entry-shelly-642de76f0b01cd80200d81db25e33b92.json.txt](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/files/9543566/config_entry-shelly-642de76f0b01cd80200d81db25e33b92.json.txt) ### Example YAML snippet _No response_ ### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us? _No response_ ### Additional information The included diagnostic is for the Shelly H&T plus, but issue also affects the original Shelly H&T, as well as the Shelly magnetic door/window sensor 2. There are no such issues with Shelly devices that are always online.

Hopefully it will be resolved in a future update.

Thanks a lot for the update @Bieniu. I have noticed you are also replying in the GitHub thread. Do you perhaps know when this is planned to be fixed in the home assistant core, without needing to use your python solution?

Bieniu · September 15, 2022, 3:41pm

HA 2022.10 if there will be no surprises/problems.

claessens · September 15, 2022, 5:58pm

Thanks for the reply, and awesome work. Will be waiting for the 2022.10 update

Magren · October 6, 2022, 7:47am

2022.10 didn’t seem to fix the sleep problem.Still shows as “unavalible”. Perhaps Shelly can fix sp the device doesn’t go into sleep when connexted to external power.

claessens · October 6, 2022, 9:56am

For me it is also the same problem. @Bieniu do you know what is going on?

Bieniu · October 6, 2022, 10:33am

Yeah I know, the device is still not supported.

claessens · October 6, 2022, 3:48pm

Do you think it will be implemented in 2022.11?

Bieniu · October 6, 2022, 6:44pm

What can I say, it will be released when it is ready, as always.

spoonflower · October 6, 2022, 8:33pm

Look forward to it. I’ve just got one of these. Seems a decent piece of kit.

Larsonski · October 19, 2022, 12:28pm

I’m really missing the integration of the Shelly Plus H&T sensor in HA. Tried to reset it a few times but still nothing to see in HA.

evilmouse · October 28, 2022, 3:39pm

I’ve only just got this device and hating it already.

I’ve hardwired the USB so it always has power, why does it still sleep?
And I hate the e-ink display, no easy way to tell if batteries/power is good to the unit as its always on.

nickrout · October 28, 2022, 7:13pm

I think the sleep problem should be fixed in 2022.11. 2022.11: Beta release notes - Home Assistant

jkk · October 29, 2022, 9:13am

Problems of it showing anything might be solved but I don’t think HA can do anything to the fact that it reports way too slowly.

I like it as a device but using it for temp monitoring or thermostat is painful.

It reports only if temp has changed over 0.5C and partly because of that it under and over shoots a lot if used as a thermostat.

I hope Shelly will let us change the reporting to live if powered.

pierpippo · October 29, 2022, 4:45pm

I just intall 2022.11: Beta release but the issue is always here

Scope666 · October 29, 2022, 6:05pm

Works ok here, other than a slightly annoying bug that it gets confused between C. and F. when you restart HA:

(Spikes in graph are Home Assistant restarts)

pierpippo · October 29, 2022, 8:19pm

Ok now it works fine. I had to restart HA

SEKCobra · October 30, 2022, 6:52pm

Man, I was really happy with all my Shelly stuff so far, but this sensor is terrible, especially when compared to any other Hygrometer I own. Can’t believe they are selling this at such a premium.
