Hi,

I am thinking of using Shelly1 & temperature add-on's in my business to monitor temp & adjust heating switch on/off as required

I have a few to test & have them set up great.

However I was wondering what would happen if we have a power failure or major network failure and cannot access the Shelly's via wifi.

It was mainly power failure where I would use generators to power the heating but the wifi network Is large AP's spread out and good chance some or all of of the Shellys would not be in range of an AP.

I assume they will carry on switching as per current settings, high/low temp etc. but it might be, especially in a power failure situation that I would want to adjust the high & low.

Can they be accessed directly via a phone using wifi.

I image if possible would be by accessing the Shelly as if it was the AP like original settings.

Ideally not having to factory reset physically.

I could have 7 of these and sealed in waterproof boxes, accessible but not easy, again in semi-urgent power failure situation, the faster the better.

prob. more info that needed.

thanks I/A

Hi,

Shelly1, temp addon installed.

Can see the temp on www interface so all working & on LAN fine. (not on cloud)

I cannot see any instructions online for the temperature addon & probe?

Android App.

I cannot work out what settings so I can use Temperature Automation.

External Sensors

Sensor Names is still {{This.Type}} Sensor {THIS.TYPE_INDEX}}

I put a simple name "Probe A" in but it does not stick

I am guessing somewhere else {This.Type} etc. has to be set.

What as I missing?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

I think OK now.

I did not really understand the principle of the MQTT on the Shelly1, quite new to both.

Once enabled in the settings I figured it was just for receiving and assumed would need something under the Send on button press/long press etc.

but now realize it automatically sends to the broker without doing anything else, settings or commands.

Below is sent to the broker as soon an the Shelly1 is triggered.

shellies/shelly1-98CDAxxxxxxx/relay/0 b'off'

shellies/shelly1-98CDAxxxxxxx/input/0 b'0'

Just programming now and working mostly,

I think I should be able to work out but trying to see if I can find a difference between keepalive & Shelly1 OFF.

They are both :

shellies/shelly1-98CDAxxxxxxx/relay/0 b'off'

shellies/shelly1-98CDAxxxxxxx/input/0 b'0'

Shelly1 ON is fine & can test for but every 60 seconds (or whatever set to) get the above payload.

I get the message when ON (which is unique) but cannot tell the difference between OFF & the keep alive, same message.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Just got into the world of Shelly, what a great device!

I guess the purpose of MQTT on the shelly1 is to control IT but did wonder if on the switch being activated a MQTT topic/message can be SENT.

Currently, I have it as a contact relay at the moment, if I get 12v across the terminals it sends an http: command, which is works well.

I would also like it to send a MQTT payload/message to the broker so I can pick it up in a python script that would then send a message to my phone.

I can do all the rest but it needs it to send the mesages MQTT to the broker.

Is this possible?
