Solved the energy-meter by changing the value-template to
{{ ( value | float / 10000) | round(2) }}
in the script for the value templates.
Also, I think it should be changed to / 100 instead of / 10000 if we should convert the *10Wh that the shellies report to kWh?
The faulty power meter keep getting re-added however despite the “” retain flag on the same topic
Of course You are right, I think I’m tired today 
New version: 0.2.1
Changelog:
Can someone help me get the discovery working. I added the python file, wrote python_script as mentioned in configuration.yaml also in automation.yaml added the text written. Restarted home assistant but it’s not showing Shelly devices. Mqtt discovery shows sonoff tasmota devices.
Show your configuration for the script.
the python_script or configuration.yaml?
shellies_discovery.py script configuration.
New version: 0.3.0
Changelog:
id and component type for the relay in script configuration, for example shellyswitch-5B2604-relay-0: 'switch', all relays are switches by defaultI’m new to Home Assistant and am trying to get your script to detect a Shelly H&T. I’ve added the python script and automations. I haven’t added a shellyht argument to the script because, as I understand it, that is no longer needed unless I am misreading the note for version 0.3.0. Otherwise, the script is unmodified.
When I execute Shellies Announce, there are entries in the Mosquitto broker and Home-Assistant log that seem to show that things are happening, but nothing shows up in the MQTT section of Integrations, and there are no entries in Entity Registry.
This is what the Mosquitto Log gives me:
554444124: New connection from 192.168.1.56 on port 1883.

This is what the Home-Assistant log gives me. One thing that jumps out at me is the mac address retrieved from “announce” IS NOT the mac on the Shelly H&T. It is off by one digit. The mac from DHCP begins with CC5 but the mac from announce begins with CE5. Otherwise, they are the same. I don’t know how this is possible, but then again, I don’t know how any of this works. Do you see what is going wrong?

Every Shelly send topic shellies/announce with it’s MAC address. If this isn’t correct ask Shelly support about this.

Hi @Bieniu
Reply to your message in Roller shutter thread
I see your Python script, but I don’t understand if this is an automatic discovery script or if it needs some parameters besides the discovery_prefix.
I have several Shelly 2 and some Shelly 1, with same prefix, how should I call the script?
Thanks
If you use Shellies relays as switches in HA and discovery_prefix in your MQTT configuration is homeassistant, you don’t need to add parameters besides id, mac, fw_ver to call the script.
This is example:
service: python_script.shellies_discovery
data_template:
id: '{{ trigger.payload_json.id }}'
mac: '{{ trigger.payload_json.mac }}'
fw_ver: '{{ trigger.payload_json.fw_ver }}'
Ok, done it and this is the result
Why the sensor.shelly_shsw* report that values even if they are not operating? Is the last value recorded, or what?
Doing this discovery it will write those cover, sensor and switch definition somewhere where I can change a friendly_name and add some other stuff?
Should it be the information regardin the sw version as an attribute to the device? I don’t see it in any place.
Thanks
What are sensor.shelly_shsw*? Power sensors show the current power measurement. I’m not sure if Shelly2 sends a power topic with roller mode.
You can edit names and entity_ids in Settings -> Entity Registry.
The script supports device registry, go Settings -> Integrations -> MQTT.
Yes, power is measured also in roller shutter mode, just seen.
How is defined retain and qos, or it gains from the Shelly definition?
Can you check in what topic Shelly2 sends a power measurement in roller mode?
Script doeasn’t interfere with retain or other MQTT options what Shellies send. The script based on topic shellies/announce creates only the appropriate config topic that adds entities to HA.
The topic for power measurement is shellies/shellyswitch-xxxxxx/relay/power
The topic in script is correct.
