It's possible and Shelly has a nice MQTT api for extracting the data from the various sensors. I want to get the handful of remaining devices supported while I think of how to represent the add-on devices in Indigo.
My immediate thought is to have a configuration section for add-ons within a supported device's configuration UI. There would be a dropdown that shows the list of detected sensors, and a button that creates a sensor device based on which sensor you have selected. Kind of like how the HomeKit plugins work - you selectively add devices from the Indigo list into HomeKit.
I'll try to keep whatever I do as simple as possible since the add-on sensors can be pretty dynamic. It's not like adding support for a Shelly Plus 1 has exactly 1 of "this" and 2 "that"'s.
