Shelly 2 as roller shutter with percentage

destroyer76 · January 23, 2019, 11:07am

hi @ashscott and hi @woody4165
I wanted to do the same thing:

I have this code

alias: ‘Imposta Posizione Tapparella’
trigger:
- platform: state
  entity_id: input_number.slider_tapparella
  action:
- delay: ‘00:00:3’
- service: mqtt.publish
  data_template:
  topic: ‘shellies/shellyswitch-xxxxxx/roller/0/command/pos’
  retain: true
  payload: “{{ states(‘input_number.slider_tapparella’) | int }}”

input_number:
slider_tapparella:
name: Posizione Tapparella
min: 0
max: 100
step: 1

and so I see the slider correctly in the group but if I open the shutter from the button or from within the entity, the slider remains with the old value. How can I update the value of the slider in the group when I open or close the shutter with other functions?

I understand what you want to do but I haven’t implemented that yet.

You need to get the position that the Shelly thinks it’s at from:

position_topic: “shellies/shellyswitch-xxxxxx/roller/0/pos”

And then set your input_number to that value.

Should be fairly straightforward, I’d have thought, but I’ve not looked into it myself, yet.

destroyer76 · January 24, 2019, 10:47am

in fact, I also think it should not be complicated. The function is the one that told you, only I do not know how to implement it
Do I have to do an automatism?
If so what trigger should I do?

woody4165 · January 24, 2019, 10:52am

If you change to Lovelace, you can have it easily…

destroyer76 · January 24, 2019, 11:18am

yes, I read that you used it. But now I am already learning to use Hasso, I would not complicate myself too much with another Interface.

woody4165 · January 24, 2019, 11:19am

So, do not upgrade to 0.86 because from this release Lovelace will become the standard UI.

Just saw, that it’s still possible to have previous UI at my-ip:8123/states

Lovelace just became the standard UI, so after upgrade you will be redirected to Lovelace

ashscott · January 24, 2019, 11:39am

I think you need something like this:

automation:
  - alias: Set position slider
    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: 'shellies/shellyswitch-xxxxxx/roller/0/pos'
    action:
      service: input_number.set_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: input_number.position_slider
        value: "{{ trigger.payload }}"

I think that the slider should then follow the position the Shelly thinks it is at.

I’ve not tried it!

destroyer76 · January 24, 2019, 10:07pm

GREAT !! it works perfectly !
I just had to change “input_number.position_slider” with “input_number.slider_tapparella”

Thank you so much!
Just a question. I had written the following code, but it did not work. Wrong something?

alias: ‘Aggiorna Slider Tapparella’
trigger:
- platform: state
  entity_id: cover.tapparella_salone
  action:
- service: input_slider.select_value
  data_template:
  entity_id: input_slider.slider_tapparella
  value: “shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXX/roller/0/pos”

destroyer76 · January 24, 2019, 10:11pm

Oops, I upgraded about an hour ago !!!
I noticed some graphic improvement, but it works all the same way, maybe …

ashscott · January 24, 2019, 10:24pm

It’s hard to tell without the proper formatting and indentation.

You’re also missing some brackets.

See the top of the page and format the code.

destroyer76 · January 24, 2019, 10:31pm

OK thanks. but so it is only badly formatted, but conceptually could it work?
In any case, your solution works great! I’m very happy !

woody4165 · January 25, 2019, 6:08am

When you write a piece of code in this forum, mark it and use </> to have it correctly formatted!

Hello!
I installed my first Shelly 2 device as a roller shutter switch today. Everything works fine but there’s something I don’t understand.
First, this is my setup:

**covers.yaml:**
# Essbereich rechts
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Jalousie Essbereich rechts"
  icon: mdi:window-open
  state_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0"
  command_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0/command"
  position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0/pos"
  set_position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0/command/pos"
  payload_open: "open"
  payload_close: "close"
  payload_stop: "stop"
  retain: false
  optimistic: false
  qos: 1
  position_open: 100
  position_closed: 0

**automation.yaml:**
- id: two
  alias: Slider verschoben rechts
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: 'shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0/pos'
  action:
    service: input_number.set_value
    data_template:
      entity_id: input_number.shutter1
      value: "{{ trigger.payload }}"

- id: three
  alias: Slider verschieben rechts
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_number.shutter1
  action:
    service: mqtt.publish
    data_template:
      topic: 'shellies/shellyswitch-XXXXXX/roller/0/command/pos'
      retain: true
      payload: "{{ states('input_number.shutter1') | int }}"

Everything, even the slider with percentage, works fine but in my log the alias “Slider verschoben rechts” is triggered once or twice a minute and I don’t know why.

Unbenannt

Does anyone see my mistake?

destroyer76 · January 26, 2019, 12:42am

I tried but I can not. It is formatted badly.
I write <code </> but it is badly formatted.
Am I wrong? Can you give me an example?

destroyer76 · January 26, 2019, 12:48am

Hi @ashscott
your code is great, but it create a lot of log !!!

ashscott:

automation:

alias: Set position slider
trigger:
platform: mqtt
topic: ‘shellies/shellyswitch-xxxxxx/roller/0/pos’
action:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.position_slider
value: “{{ trigger.payload }}”

So I made some changes and I modified the code as follows:

  - alias: 'Aggiorna Posizione Slider Tapparella'
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: cover.tapparella_salone
    action:
      - service: input_number.set_value
        data_template:
          entity_id: input_number.slider_tapparella
          value: '{{ states.cover.tapparella_salone.attributes.current_position }}'

Ad It Works Well and do not reate a lot of log !!

destroyer76 · January 26, 2019, 12:51am

hi @ClaRod
I’m not an expert on home assistants, I’m actually a beginner, but I think the problem is the automatism that updates the slider with MQTT.
I also had a lot of logs. I solved by performing the update as I wrote in the previous answer!
I think you can modify my code simply.

woody4165 · January 26, 2019, 8:43am

You have to mark the code, then click on the button </> that is greyed out in the gif anumation and that’s it

ClaRod · January 26, 2019, 3:25pm

Hi @destroyer76.

I modified your code and it works fine! Thank you for your fast and good work

destroyer76 · January 26, 2019, 10:43pm

Thanks a lot @woody4165 !!!
It was a very simple thing! But I had not really noticed it! I’m embarassed

You look very experienced. I’m a programmer but sometimes I went crazy for the simplest things. The documentation of Homa Assistant sometimes is not complete, and I found only in the forums some syntax.
Is there any guide, possibly in Italian, that I can use to study the syntax?

destroyer76 · January 26, 2019, 10:46pm

Hi @ClaRod
it was a pleasure. I’m happy to help you
