Shelly gen 1 features missing from gen 2: CORS

    I have got my first Shelly gen 2 device and was hoping to be able to control and configure it in the same way as I can my gen 1 devices. I use a webpage that searches for shelly devices and allows you to discover, link to and configure the devices.

    This is not possible with gen 2 devices though because as far as I can see the "Allow Cross-Origin Resource Sharing" option that is present on all gen 1 devices is omitted from gen 2 devices. This means that it is not possible to communicate with the device from a browser.

    Please tell me that I am wrong and that this pretty core http communication feature has not been forgotten about.

    Cors is no longer needed as new Shelly Gen2 devices can be controlled via RPC/WebSockets instead. Using websockets is much more flexible because you can subscribe to device events and your browser gets instantly notified if something changes.

    For me this is a HUGE step forwards. CORS and such stuff is somewhat old school and outdated.


    I've added an example for the new Pro 4 PM here, hope that helps.

    Shelly4ProPM - Status der Relais via Websocket anzeigen

    Hi,

    falls ihr euch fragt wie das mit dem Status des Shelly4ProPM über Websockets (Ersatz für Coap) funktioniert, hier mal ein kleines Beispiel (Javascript & HTML)

    die IP-Adresse in Zeile 18 müsst ihr durch die IP eures Shelly4Pro tauschen, danach die Seite einfach im Browser aufrufen..

    Kurz zur Erläuterung:

    newWebsocket erzeugt den Socket. Sobald die Verbindung offen ist (socket.onopen) senden wir einmalig ein Shelly.GetStatus .. wichtig ist hier der JSON-Parameter src, darüber erhält der Shelly…

    Hi, im trying connect to my Shelly 2.5 via websocket, using websocket clients like extension to chrome (simpleWebSocketClient) or app to android (websocketTester) without any luck. I use url wss://192.168.22.183:80, the IP adress is correct, not sure about port. Is my url incorrect, or its necessary enable websocket in device, or something else i missing ?

    Thank you, Jan

    btw i love you all my life, 7 ;)

    Zitat

    m trying connect to my Shelly 2.5 via websocket,

    sorry, this won't work. Shelly 2.5 is a Gen1 device (ESP8266) .

    Websockets is a Gen2-Device-Feature (Plus and Pro devcies): You'd need a Shelly Plus 2PM or Shelly Pro 2PM instead of the old Shelly 2.5.
