If the Alarm goes off all the smart lighting comes on I will be sent a iOS Push notification and email
I will be able to check if the alarm is set and if not I can set it remotely and/or if my phone isnt show at home then either turn the alarm on remotely or send notification saying alarm not set ,
I was going to use 2 Shelly 1 I have but I would like to use them for something else
I tried adding the UNI in HA with the HA supported Integration (not with the Shelly HACS component).
Entering the ip and pressing ADD simply results in a message by HA that it has cancelled the inclusion.
In dutch it says ‘afgebroken’.
Nothing is actually added, I can repeat it endlessly.
Thanks. I’ve mostly moved over to using MQTT to integrate which has been largely much more predictable/reliable so far. I’d assume MQTT would work the same as anything for the UNIs as well in the future if I get some. Cheers
I thought I was doing something wrong when trying to add the Shelly UNI. When I entered IP address at the Host prompt, the message said it was already configured. It doesn’t appear in my list of Shelly devices. I’m not running the latest updates which may be part of my issue. I was getting slow response times on my power/energy values (30sec updates) when they were 2sec, so have stayed with earlier versions. Core 0.117.6 Supervisor-2021.02.6 OS 5.11
On Configuration - Integration there are 3 vertical dots. If you click on them I discovered I had, at some stage, clicked Hide ignored integrations. Click it again and selected Show ignored integrations.
Now click the + button and add the IP address at the Host prompt. Hope this is works for you.
I am starting my second project using the UNI. The first was a garage door opener. It goes pretty much the same as projects that use the Shelly 1 for that purpose. The low voltage contacts on the UNI do a great job. No need to waste a 15amp relay to switch low voltage. I’ve been using it for months with no issues.
My second project is a automated water main shutoff along with a leak sensor and two reed switches to monitor things nearby.
Am interested in your garage door opener project using Shelly Uni.
Did you document your journey somewhere? Would like to see some photos of your setup / wiring / configuration.
I did not. However, I have another one to do for my other garage door. I plan to do it after my water main project. I will document as I go and pull something together and post it here when finished.
It’s coming along. Still prototyping. I am not happy with the way the valve sounds when I use the UNI to switch the power — it sputters and sounds under powered. The Uni should be able to handle the load technically but there must be a load spike at the beginning. Motors usually do. I am going to add a Shelly 1 which should solve the problem and I can make use of the extra switch sensor.
What I have working so far is a reed switch to warn me if the bypass valve is open long term (defeats the point of auto shutoff in the first place). I also have a moisture sensor attached to the Uni to read voltage between the two sensor leads and trigger the valve. I will use the additional switch sensor on the Shelly 1 to monitor a nearby freezer door. I’m on a mission to slowly replace all my battery operated sensors with wired + Uni — faster response and no batteries to change.
After a bit more research I’m going to use a Shelly 2.5 with this 3 wire 24V AC/DC type motorized valve. We are on a well and have livestock that is sometimes rough and break their infrastructure which then will drain our holding tank. So I’m planning on using this Flow Meter with an ATOM Lite ESP32 IoT Development Kit to tell the above valve to turn off if the flow rate is above a certain amount or so many gallons have flowed out. Eventually I’ll be adding a pressure sensor with another of the ATOM Lites to the water holding tank to help keep tabs on the water level along with adding an energy monitor for the well and tank pumps to track how often they run. That will help me gauge our well as we had some issues last summer with the well struggling a bit.
I need some help with a swing gate controller, and this thread seems like a great place to start since someone has done this with a garage door.
The gate is controlled by a Roger Tech R702AC running on 24v AC. I have the Shelly UNI powered from 16-17 on the gate controllers, and I am opening the gate by connecting one of the dry contacts to 30-33 on the gate controller. See below. This works perfectly.
I also want to detect if the gate is closed, opening, or open.
Opening/Moving: I was hoping to connect 14-15 on the gate controller to IN1 which is 24v AC when the gate is moving and 0v AC when the gate is stopped. I first just connected 15 to IN1 but did not get a signal when the gate moved. I checked the voltage across the common providing power to the UNI and 15 and it showed a solid 24v AC while moving. I then connected the 14 to GND and 15 to IN1. I might have done something else incorrectly, but that blew a fuse on the controller board. This should be possible from fig 3B in the Shelly UNI instructions. See below.
Any ideas what I am doing incorrectly?
I will then see what I can do with the limit switches. I don’t really need to know if the gate is moving, so I may use IN1 and IN2 instead. But I need some help here. What is the difference in the the connections for IN1 and IN2?
I don’t know the Shelly Uni. On the Plus Uni, the digital inputs are active low: you have to pull IN_1 or IN_2 to GND to generate a positive input signal.
