Hi!

I have the script working for 2 Shelly i3, a Shelly 2.5 and a H&T. I struggle to get the Shelly Button 1 to work though, even though I have the same settings applied and I am seeing input events in MQTT explorer.
The button is not discovered.
What can I do?

Kind regards,

Pete

Hi!

I remember you mentioning somewhere that the IP address (sent in the mqtt info topic) is not possible to display @ the device info page. Could you please explain me why not? (Like explaining it to a child:))

Thanks

1038

HA frontend doesn’t support this.

Mmh… strange… I’m seeing this:

Firmware dated 20201124 is required, please update your device homeassistant/shellybt1_02

The button itself does not show an available firmware update however:

Current version: 20201029-170348/v1.9.0@85c87178
You have latest version on your device!
1042

Current firmware for Shelly Button1 is 20201228-092628/v1.9.3@ad2bb4e3

Open this URL in the browser:

http://<deviceIP>/ota?url=http://repo.shelly.cloud/firmware/SHBTN-1.zip
1043

Mmmh…
doing exactly that it comes back with

{"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"","old_version":"20201029-170348/v1.9.0@85c87178"}

And nothing is happening… Am I doing something wrong?

1044

Strange, maybe ask for help on Shelly Support Group on FB?

1045

It takes some time to update. Probably now it is already updated to 1.9.3. check in webgui

1046

My Button reports as SHBTN-2 in /settings, so I tried updating it with /firmware/SHBTN-2.zip instead of SHBTN-1. Since that didn’t work, I used the beta from /firmware/rc/, which now seemed to have worked.

The button doesn’t show up in HA however, here is the latest log:

I have a second button with the same behaviour, I updated that one to 20201228-092700/v1.9.3@ad2bb4e3 (which seems to be more recent than the RC). But also the same:

Could you show me topics/payloads from this device? You can use MQTT-Explorer for that.

1049

Is this the right stuff? I’m quite new to the whole MQTT world…

Very cool, thanks a lot! I’ll try it out this afternoon and let you know how it went.

1053

I am happy to report: It works!
Again, thank you very much!

@Bieniu Thanks so much for the fantastic script! It has worked perfectly for me for months now.

I was curious to see if you had been tracking the work on the new Tasmota Integration? Looks like that integration laid the ground work for other components that rely on MQTT for communication, but have a component for device discovery.

Hopefully it means that going forward scripts like this won’t be necessary for new MQTT device manufacturers, and instead an official component can be built. Was just curious to hear your opinion on it!
