Photo: Shelly Bluetooth remote (numbers = button numbers)
UPDATE June 2025
Because of an update (Shelly FW? BTHome integration?) the model name of this remote has changed from BLU Button1 to BTHome sensor. Update blueprint by ‘re-importing’ it fails because the code below did not have the source_url set. Solutions are listed in this post.
WHAT IS THIS?
Here’s my second blueprint! 
A blueprint that enables you to quickly configure a switch. It also is a lot easier to look at compared to manual events in an automation.
It was inspired by @blake.dubiel blueprint that was enhanced by @Shiroe93 .
Updates:
- Actions grouped per button (see screenshot below)
- The least amount of text possible. (well you could use less text)
SETUP
- Import blueprint - Click the button above.
- Open blueprint
- Select switch - listed in the switch dropdown
- Configure actions - for each button
- Save
- Test
REQUIREMENTS
- Supported switch
- A shelly plus or gen3 device that can relay bluetooth to HA
- HA 2025.5 (updated blueprint not tested with earlier versions)
DEVICE INFO
- Manufacturer: Shelly
- Model: BLU RC 4 button
- Buttons: 4
- Supported actions:
○ single click
○ double click
○ triple click
○ long click - Not supported in this blueprint (because of ‘rarely used’)
○ long double click
○ long triple click
○ hold click
NOTES:
- SIngle switch: I have not enabled multiple switches in a single automation. It’s so easy to duplicate an automation and select another switch if you need 2 of the same switches.
TIPS
- Use a labelmaker to print labels with icons, numbers or text. Great for the xAF (whatever Acceptance Factor).
- Mounting: I use very thin nano tape (see through / gel type) to put them on a wall. The factory default mounting tape is often impossible to take off.
Note that this shelly remote has a magnetic base! - Firmware update. There was a situation where this remote needed a firmware update to to bring the battery consumption acceptable level. So make sure it runs that latest firmware!
