I see. But do we have a way of grouping information about one device automatically in a card or by other means?
Please add to the documentation of the script that in order to make the script work, you need to first add the line
python_script:
in the configuration.yaml.
People like me that are new to home assistant don’t know that in order to use python scrips you have to first add this line to the config file. It took me about an hour of trial and error until I found this out.
Anyways, thank you for the great job!
You have some information in device registry:
If you want more you have to use rest sensors.
Done. I had to remove this when I changed docs some time ago. Thanks for info.
New version: 0.12.0
Changelog:
- add suport for Shelly Bulb (experimental)
- fix effect list for Shelly RGBW2
Is this script still on HACS? I don’t see it, only Shelly related thing appearing is the custom component.
@Bieniu i just got one of the rgbw2 controllers that I am getting an error with. I have the script installed from HACS and working fine with your minimal configuration example and the controller is on latest firmware. The light shows up and is controllable and one binary sensor is created called " Shelly RGBW2 66243C Overpower 0 " with a value of unavailable and I am getting the error
No matching payload found for entity: Shelly RGBW2 66243C Overpower 0 with state_topic: shellies/shellyrgbw2-66243C/color/0/status
that has shown up over a hundred times in the last hour. Any ideas on what i need to do to fix this?
According to this https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#rgbw2-mqtt script uses correct topic. Can you check what is the payload for shellies/shellyrgbw2-66243C/color/0/status topic?
Looks like i have an exra line “mode”
{
"ison": false,
"mode": "color",
"red": 255,
"green": 255,
"blue": 255,
"white": 75,
"gain": 4,
"effect": 0,
"power": 0,
"overpower": false
}
Looks good.
Could you try add manually to your configuration this sensor for try:
binary_sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Overpower Test"
state_topic: "shellies/shellyrgbw2-66243C/color/0/status"
value_template: "{{ value_json.overpower }}"
payload_on: "true"
payload_off: "false"
availability_topic: "shellies/shellyrgbw2-66243C/online"
payload_available: "true"
payload_not_available: "false"
You can also check that there is a config topic for this sensor on your MQTT broker. You can use MQTT Explorer for that.
This topic should looks like this:
homeassistant/binary_sensor/shellyrgbw2-66243C-overpower-0/config
{
"name": "Shelly RGBW2 66243C Overpower 0",
"stat_t": "~color/0/status",
"val_tpl": "{{ value_json.overpower }}",
"pl_on": "true",
"pl_off": "false",
"avty_t": "~online",
"pl_avail": "true",
"pl_not_avail": "false",
"uniq_id": "shellyrgbw2-66243C-color-overpower-0",
"qos": "0",
"dev": {
"ids": ["XXXXXXXX"],
"name": "Shelly RGBW2 66243C",
"mdl": "Shelly RGBW2",
"sw": "20190402-134544/v1.5.1@9be72c7e",
"mf": "Allterco Robotics"
},
"~": "shellies/shellyrgbw2-66243C/"
}
Ok so using the version you posted, the binary sensor now works and reports as off. However i am still getting the same error message every couple minutes. here is the topic from mqtt:
homeassistant/binary_sensor/shellyrgbw2-66243C-color-overpower-0/config

Im sorry if i wasnt clear, or i may be missing something but i already tried https://github.com/bieniu/ha-shellies-discovery/blob/009d36daa590f163a93065ce98a852449c27bb99/python_scripts/shellies_discovery.py with the results above
Sorry, I read your answer too fast 
Try this new version https://github.com/bieniu/ha-shellies-discovery/blob/ff6a1d8737c959fdfcd4984da716555978fbb272/python_scripts/shellies_discovery.py
That was it! no more errors in the logs and binary sensor is reporting status. Thank you so much for spending some time on this. I’ve really started liking these shellies devices and your script makes the integration so easy. thanks again.
Ha super.
Merci pour ce travail.
Thanks !!!

I can’t get mqtt discovery active for my new shelly1. I am a new hassio (latest version) user, have sonos and zigbee devices active but shelly does not work. What am I doing wrong? MQTT Mosquitto log gives no error messages and shelly’s automations seem to be active, but in integration no shelly device appears
Spend a few hours reading posts in this forum but still no succes.
what to do now?
