Indigo Domotics

At home I have lots of Hue/Zigbee lights, but of course the wall switch is not working anymore.
If I install a Fibaro switch behind the wall switch this wall not as the Hue will not get power and the automation will not work anymore.
Of course I can use standard lights, but at the moment is not possible.
Is it possible to combine a Shelly and keep the Hue?

Thanks

Yes
You need to go through 2 plugins

Shelly either the direct version or the one that goes through mqtt.
and
Hue

Shelly sets the changes then an indigo action reacts to the changes and sets the hue light accordingly.

From what I have read I should use the Shelly 1 Plus in detached mode so that the Hue lamp has always power, right?
How should they be connected?

I don’t want to advice on the fly how to connect power wires

But in principle the hue light should be just normally connected to power. W/o any switch in between.

And just use the switch input of the Shelly to send triggers to indigo.

And the Shelly also needs power.

Ok, fine, so there is no connection between Shelly and Hue light, right? Then in indigo I have to look at the state change of the _input sensor.
I read that I have to configure the Shelly in detached mode, but I thought there was wiring connection between Shelly and hue

Or, much better, use the i3/i4 so that I can control the switch and the bulb is not connected to the Shelly and only L/N and the wire to the Button are required

Depending on the fibaro model you can change to Scene mode which then will only trigger scenes on switch presses rather than changing power so you can have triggers in Indigo for when fibaro switch scene 21 received toggle hue power etc.

Oh you are right, did not think about that
I have a double switch and two single switches

Are the Shelly i3/i4 supported by any Shelly plugins? Shelly Direct, ShellyMQTT and ShellyNGMQTT?

I have one i3 set up with ShellyMQTT and one i4 with ShellyNGMQTT.

I have a couple of retractive switches wired to a fibaro double that is in scene mode and I use to control ZigBee bulbs. On/ off used to toggle but then realised that I can use then plugin to turn in to a preset dimmer level so now toggling it on will come to a preset dim level. 100% until 8pm then 60% until 9pm, 40% until 10 and 20% until 6am. Double click sets to 100% and hold toggles temperature between warm and cool.

But it's not as fast as a durect wired bulb.

Very nice, thanks
Yes, I know that is not so fast, but those bulbs are used for home cinema environment and so on, therefore the responsiveness is not sooo important
