HomeKit News is not in any way afflilated or endorsed by Apple Inc. or any subsidiary companies related to Apple. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings, equipment or machinery and process monitoring and control systems Features and Functionality: I won’t write a tutorial on doing this, as all required information can be found in the ha-shellies-discovery documentation. Motion-controlled lights - Shelly Plus Add-on can also be connected to a PIR sensor to light up rooms that you occasionally use around the house. This way, when you enter the room, the light will come on for as long as you need it to. Depending on how a device’s button type is configured, the integration will create binary sensors corresponding to those inputs. binary sensors are not created when the button type is momentary or momentary_on_release, for these types you need to use events for your automations. Binary input sensors (generation 2)

Control your lights based on luminousity - Together with an LDR (photoresistor), Shelly Plus Add-on can trigger Shelly Plus 2PM to open the blinds when the room is too dark and it's still daytime. Additionally, when luminosity is low, Shelly Plus Add-on can trigger Shelly Plus 1 to turn on the lights at just the right time.

WiFi-operated humidity and temperature sensor

If only the device name is set, and the device has multiple channels, the channel number will be appended to the entity name (e.g., Channel 2). There are two generations of devices. Both generations are supported by this integration. There are some differences in how devices should be configured and in the naming of entities and devices between generations. Shelly device configuration (generation 1) For battery-powered devices, the update platform entities only inform about the availability of firmware updates but are not able to trigger the update process. Since a Shelly relay (e.g. Shelly 1 or 2.5) only supports on/off toggling, so it doesn’t really matter whether it’s configured as a light or a switch. Configuring a device as cover allows you to control things like blinds, curtains, shades, shutters, garage doors, …

If the Input Mode of the switch connected to the device is set to Button, the integration creates an event entity for this switch. You can use this entity in your automations. Events All things considered, the Shelly H&T is the best Wi-Fi temperature and humidity sensor for Home Assistant. It can be battery-powered for over a year, it connects locally, and doesn't require a hub. It is also the way to go if you are seeking continuous updates from the sensor. When connect to the mains, the Shelly H&T doesn't require any power-saving.

To integrate the Qingping Air Monitor Lite with Home Assistant, the HomeKit Controller can be utilized. Sadly, you will need an iOS device to complete the setup, as can be seen in this guide. Alternatively, the Xiaomi MIoT custom component can be installed using HACS, and the Qingping Air Monitor Lite integrated using this configuration shared in the Home Assistant Community. Awair Glow C: Temperature and humidity monitoring, plus nightlight and smart switch Shelly Humidity & Temperature Sensor (H&T) is open to the world and developers. Shellys are secured but at the same time give everyone the opportunity to use them easily in new and existing projects. With the embedded web server and the HTTP commands Shelly can be made compatible with your existing home automation system. The Shelly Plug S added a temperature sensor and overtemperature warning, which the Shelly Plug doesn’t.

Based on this data, you can maintain a comfortable and healthy environment for your pets. Additionally, you can connect a liquid level sensor to the Add-on, and always be sure that the water level is at its optimal level. In Home Assistant, devices can be configured as a switch, which gives you simple on/off capabilities. An awning that follows the weather - Outdoor motorized awnings offer pleasant shade for your guests on sunny days. However, a strong, unexcepted wind can damage them beyond repair. By combining it with a wind sensor connected to the Shelly Plus Add-on, Shelly Plus 2PM can automatically close the outside awning to protect them from the wind. Additionally, Shelly Plus Add-on with a rain sensor can trigger Shelly Plus 2PM to open the awning just in time to protect your guests. Generation 1 “Shelly 4Pro” and “Shelly Sense” are not supported (devices based on old CoAP v1 protocol)
