Shelly Dimmer2 not showing up in Home Assistant dashboard or device list

  • I have the Shelly working in the Dimmer2 Web GUI. The wall switches function the Shelly correctly. I have MQTT set up in the Shelly web GUI. I can see the MQTT communication in Home Assistant when "Listening to a topic" and using shellies/# as the topic. I see the data from the Shelly coming into the MQTT Integration (temp, watts, % dimmed, etc).

    But I just can't figure out how to get the Shelly device to show up in the Device list or Dashboard in Home Assistant.

    How do I get this to show in HA?


    Thanks.



    BTW - I did try to install the Shelly Integration in Home Assistant, but the Shelly Integration in Home Assistant complained that the firmware on the Shelly was not using a supported firmware version.
    The Shelly web GUI says I have the latest firmware version. Though I don't really think I need the Shelly Integration if I'm using MQTT, right?
