Hi everyone! This is my first post in a homeassistant forum because I’ve generally been able to the solution to my problem as someone has usually posted to this forum before with the same problem.
My problem is this: I have a mix of Shelly Gen1 and Gen2s, the Shellies are integrated using the MQTT autodiscovery script for Gen 1 and Gen 2. GitHub - bieniu/ha-shellies-discovery-gen2: Script that adds MQTT discovery support for Shellies Gen2 devices
I want them to work in detached mode with a binary sensor to tell me when someone has switched the physical light switch so that a homeassistant automation can turn on/off my zigbee lights per bulb.
This code works for Gen1 and works very well.
- platform: mqtt
# Dining Room Shelly
unique_id: "dining_room_downlight_switch"
name: "dining_room_downlight_switch"
payload_on: "1"
payload_off: "0"
device_class: "power"
state_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C45BBE60140C/input/1"
The problem is Gen2 Shelly mqtt is full of JSON with MQTT completely redone on the Gen2 side. I have a few Shelly Plus 1PMs in numerous places and I would really like to get this working with the rest of the smart home in this manner.
I really don’t like the Shellyforhass integration and only want to do it via mqtt.
