Thanks Aaron for a good plugin.
Tested it today with a Shelly1 and are now planning to buy more Shelly devices in the future

I am waiting for the Shelly4 Pro to become available on April 1st to start to replace my failing Aviosys 4 port IP Switches, it is more expensive than 2 x Shelly 2.5's but ideal for mounting on the Din rail in the Fuse Box so another one for consideration

As far as I can see this one needs MQTT, Karl's doesn't.
The Shelly RGBW controller seems to be only supported in Karl's plugin, I am right?
Thanks,

Hi Yassi,
Yes, the main difference between my plugin and Karl's is that mine uses MQTT and Karl's uses HTTP. This means that Karl's requires that all Shelly devices be on the same network (probably with static IP addresses) as your Indigo server, but using MQTT would allow for "remote" devices on a cloud broker. Karl also has "auto-creation" where his plugin will scan your network for devices and add them automatically.
As for the Shelly RGBW controller, I don't currently have support for this device. I am getting started with adding the Shelly 4Pro, and I can work on supporting the Shelly RGBW if it is requested.
Thanks,
Aaron

thanks for clarifying this so quickly!
And for sure, thanks for the plugin!
Ok, I see. My first need would be the RGBW controller, cheaper as the Fibaro one, but I have to check their product list to see if something else is needed too.
Stay safe!

I will definitely work on adding the RGBW to my list. The soonest I could get this added is probably the end of next week.
Also just as a heads up, I don't have some of the devices that are "supported" by the plugin. I have implemented them based off of the supplied API from Shelly. I have done this for the EM, 3EM, Dimmer, Door/Window, Flood, Bulb, Bulb Vintage, Plug, and PlugS. However, some of these devices (EM, Dimmer, and Door/Window) have been confirmed to work by other users. The other devices I am confident work due to the way I architected the plugin. I am confident that the Plug and PlugS work because they are built on top of the Shelly 1PM in my plugin (and I know the 1PM works). The same goes for the Bulb and Bulb Vintage.
I just wanted to let you know that initial support for the Shelly RGBW might not be perfect, but my success rate for supporting devices is 100% so far. Aside from the Shelly 4Pro and Shelly RGBW controller, I think I have most of the Shelly devices supported in the plugin. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,
Aaron

... A little completion is great. For the users and the developers. ...
And Arons description is right on.
Although mine will automatically adapt to changed ip numbers for anything that has a switch function. Not the light bulbs as they do not have an “action url” and they do not communicate on their own. They are pure “slave” devices The others send out something when they become online or change status

Only devices that are guests etc get an Ip assigned by dhcp.
