Now that we are in October 2021, would you still recommend to use this script? Or is the official integration already comparable to the quality of this script? Could someone give a pro/con overview? Thanks!
IMHO the official integration uses the api, this script uses MQTT. I prefer the latter for transparency / troubleshooting.

You have to decide if you prefer MQTT or CoAP. Functionality and stability are the same.
Currently, there are some issues with script-configured color bulbs. I donât have these devices and I donât have free time to fix these issues.
Plus devices are not supported by the script because they donât send announce (or similar) topic.
Most of my devices are configured by the script and a few by the integration, and Iâm happy with this mix 
Hi @Bieniu
I am still stuck with the roller problem. If you have time please take a look at my post from Oct 11. Thank you so much
So two things to make it work:
-remove mode: roller
-need to keep the minimal config updated after updates (thats inconvenientâŚ), I may have overlooked a hint in the update info. if not I suggest to remind users to update their config if mandatory changes are necessary to the minimal config.
I am also having the roller problem after updating the script to latest version, but have not been able to solve it with any of the above advice. I have remover the âmode: rollerâ and updated the configuration, restarted the shellies and HA, even deleted the devices from HA and set them up again and tried deleting them from my mqtt broker too. All to no avail. They still show up as relays not rollers.
Any advice please?
Debug log please.
I canât see any logs even after adding the logger configuration. Where would these logs be? Together with the HA logs?
the logging is working, as when I manually trigger the automation I get the following:
Logger: homeassistant.components.automation.shellies_discovery
Source: helpers/script.py:1344
Integration: Automation ([documentation]
First occurred: 18:26:10 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 18:26:10
Shellies Discovery: Error executing script. Error for call_service at pos 1: Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: âdict objectâ has no attribute âpayload_jsonâ
Yes, of course.
You canât run the automation manually.
Correct, I was just saying that the logging is working as when attempting to run manually I do see some logs. So do you have any idea why the roller options arenât showing? There no logs to be seen.
I canât say anything without the log.
I am now getting the following error. Please note, none of these 2.5s are in roller mode. The offending 2.5s have been updated to the latest firmware.

This is not a debug log.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how and where do I find the debug log?
Have you configured logger according to OP? If so, just show me HA log.
I have this set:
logger:
default: warning
logs:
homeassistant.components.python_script: debug
homeassistant.components.automation: info
But my HA logs are about 10000 lines long!! Am I missing something here?
Restart HA, wait 5 minutes and then show me the log.
