Support for Pro-4PM

Any progress on this? I tried setting one up in the plugin as a 2PM, but it would not respond. I did try to change the CLIENT ID on the device. But, no matter what I set it to, or even if I remove the ID completely, it still identifies itself as shellies/shellypro4pm-<MAC_ADDRESS>, and presumably, the plugin discards the messages.

UPDATE: I forked the plugin and added support for the Pro 4MP

Re: Support for Pro-4PM

I'm glad you were able to get it added on your own. I was originally waiting to get the major parts of the plugin completed prior to adding all the devices and possibly needing to redo them.

I think you would have needed to change the MQTT topic prefix rather than the client ID if you wanted to force the device to be a Pro 2PM. Although, nothing should have prevented you from claiming the device was a Pro 2PM regardless of the value used for the topic prefix.

I actually did try just creating a 2PM, but it is not possible to change the way the 4PM identifies itself.
