I recently installed the 1PM-Plus to monitor my dishwasher. Installation was difficult because my American house is wired with 12AWG wire. The Shellies don’t handle a wire that size in general, and this model specifically wouldn’t accept it at all. But I got creative and moved past the roadblock. Also, I had trouble with MQTT not sending the sensor values, so I instead used the CoIoT interface with Home Assistant. All is well now as it is working great and the dishwasher is well monitored.
I am so happy the switch plate doesn't have the LEDs. My family is super sensitive to the LED light pollution that most of these switches have. I think that they were listening to the audience.
In many of them you can actually disable the LED (not all as sometimes it's linked through hardware) a piece of electrical tape can also cover them up neatly on the PCB if you particularly like the switch
5:44 As far as I know, the output terminals are potential-free.
Therefore, some safety distance was provided, as you could see on the backside. Very good, if low voltage circuitry is switched with the output.
Can I, with this device, control let's say an overhead light via a "regular 120v switch" and/or wireless?
The picture on their product page shows the device sitting inside the outlet box. Does this really sit in the same box as the switch even when the req'd 8" of wiring tails are also present.
I've not seen any DIY video that shows an actual in wall installation. Just wiring it on a workbench.
I love these thingies for my HA
I have a few Shelly devices, and the MQTT and web hooks out of the box are really handy if you don't want to use the app. I haven't used any of the switches yet, but I might give the new range a try. Thanks for showing them
The new wall switch should resolve my bedroom issue as well as I can't fit anything behind the regular one as the space is too shallow. I think with the new bracket I'll be just fine
Thank you Mat.
The pleasure is mine
Recently bought the Shelly plus 1 and have connected via mqtt but I can not find the mqqt commands/ topics to control it. I have been able to see some of the mqqt topics coming from it but they are only "status/switch:0" and "events/rpc" but cannot find the topics to send on/off commands
This should help:
shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/Devices/ShellyPlus1
Thank you Matt. Re the switch only device, having a 4physical button option makes it much easier to use than the single button they had before. Sadly I don’t see the option to run those battery powered which will make them super handy free standing remote controls with 4buttons.
As they use WiFi to talk to the cloud anything battery powered would last a very short time.
Regarding the Shelly Plus 2PM, with the Shelly 2.5 you can configure it to use for a shutter to drive the L/R motor. That also seems possible with the Plus 2PM but is that shows up as 2 switches that is different from the 2.5. How would you configure it for shutters and have it run based on motor resistance?
Before the device is added to the Shelly Cloud, it needs configuration. I set it as 2 channel relay, hence 2 devices. It should show up as a motor controller if you change the device settings.
Is it possible to access and control the Shelly via a Web browser from a Laptop/Pc or it will only work via an Apple/Android mobile device?
You can access the web interface by visiting the IP of the device
Another great video Mat, thanks. We’ve installed a number of 1PM Plus as part of a house rewire to monitor larger appliances. Some quality hardware (even our electrician liked them!) and after 3 months the power monitoring seems reliable and stable.
Shelly have made some significant changes to their MQTT behaviour and interface in the new Plus series and like another commenter we’ve sadly found this much more challenging to get running. Seems there is so far limited guidance /examples from Shelly online so if you happen to have success with MQTT on these new devices (particularly power monitoring) we’d love to know how you managed it. Thanks.
I'll check but last time I played i was able to use the same schema to connect. I'll have to see if the power details are sent
@@notenoughtech thank you Mat
Very nicely done. Thank you! Wondering if you have updated this with the new Shelly devices.
I haven't got any from the latest series. I asked. But ...
I may send a follow up
What I am still looking for if these devices also replace Shelly 1L (when no neutral is available)
Take a look at the latest Sonoff Extreme - if the size is your concern
Fantastic video! I really appreciate the introduction to Shelly switches. Could you recommend a specific model that allows for light dimming? I'm interested in a switch that enables us to adjust brightness levels through the app. My plan is to retrofit these switches into the back boxes of my current dimmer switches to upgrade them to smart ones.
Dimming is a pain. It depends on the lights you use. I usually resolve the dimming with ZigBee bulb and nice wireless switch
@notenoughtech That sounds great, but we want to retrofit existing dimmer switches which are brushed brass to match the interior design for the whole house. Some of these switches control chandeliers which we dim when creating an ambient atmosphere. Im not sure if smart bulbs would work in a chandelier that 20 / 30 small bulbs in them? we also have spot lights around the house too which we would want to dim too. which bulbs do you recommend? and does Shelly offer a switch that can do this in your opinion?
There is a Shelly dimmer you could use .. but the downfall is that you would need appropriate bulbs otherwise they may flicker or never turn off fully. Do you like your chandeliers this much 🙈🙈🙈
my wife loves chandeliers! so they are staying 🙂. Im convinced there is a solution somewhere, what is the model of the of the shelly switch you recommend? i'll buy and run a test to see if it works
@@notenoughtech
Absolutely amazing video. Just a small request for us non native-speakers. If possible in future videos, use overlays/annotations or what not to show numbers and model names when you mention them. It is sometimes very hard to understand/grasp those in the natural speed of your delivery
Especially for people like me with problems understanding spoken numbers
Have you check the article? Each video has a dedicated written article which is much easier to translate to your own language
for high current draw applications its not good if the L and N are going true the shelly to the consumetion unit (water heater, dryer etc), you need to use wago (or other terminal) or it will overheat, they say that on the fb support page
I would be happy with some 'loudness equalization' .; and my neighbors too
Something went out of the chart? Can share the timestamp to see what caused the spike. Everything was done with one breath so other than intro music it should need equalisation on the track as I'm not mixing separate audio tracks in the voiceover
@@notenoughtech On my system, just after the intro, the start intro music
Just adjusted for voice volume, then 🥳
I'll look at the settings... New mic.. new adventures ;)
@@notenoughtech If you could make the intro music quieter, and the voice track louder, that would be much appreciated. On my big speaker setup, the intro music does tend to come out very loud. Thanks!
I'll check that on my headphones see how's that plays. I still don't have proper speakers on my computer ;) at least by the time my video states everyone is awake and pays attention. Hell of the way to share the NotEnoughTECH with neighborhood haha
Sorry and thanks for the feedback
Can you share your thoughts about the shelly blu gateway? I cannot decide which brand to go with, sonoff or shelly. Sonoff has more detailed information on the web where shelly lacks.
Shelly is a great choice if you want to go DIY way and not worry about flashing your devices as their firmware supports a lot of features. You will pay extra for that. If budget is the biggest concern, go with Sonoff.
would be nice to have an tutorial how to flash shelly plus versions with esp home via pins or OTA
Honestly with REST webhooks and MQTT baked in I'm not really sure why would you need to? Does esp home come with anything worth flashing? (I'm not very familiar with that firmware)
The links are giving me an error (Misdirected request). I’m in the US if that helps.
HMMMMM... Looks like tracking links from Shelly apply only to Europe shop - Let me see what I can do
@@notenoughtech I think their “shopusa” site is down. I just got the same error clicking the shop link on their primary site.
How's the link now in the description in US friendly section for the product page?
I will reach out to shelly tomorrow for the fix
Evening mate.
howdies!
do u think this can handle monitoring a 1.5hp aircon
Could be pushing it. I'd check the Aircon datasheet to be sure
Can I use these on my water heaters 3kw
Yes you should be fine with that current draw if your mains are on 220-240v
@@notenoughtech ok that’s great..yea I have 240v .. just want to turn it on every 2 hours for and hour .. should work great
Should be fine then. I'd monitor the temps in my first run to be sure but you are within the spec for your heater
@@notenoughtech Hi Mat, so in this configuration, a Shelly 1+ can be directly connected from the water heater wires with the N and L only ? No need to plug the box in the electric racks ? Thanks a lot
Where you plug it it's down to you. Can be at the heaters end or near the oitlet
Hi, i recently bought the Shelly plus 1
I use it in my store. The connection was easily. No issues at all.
When I give orders with my mobile
connected in the same network there's no problem. Shelly connection with cloud is ok. But.....when my phone connected with another network and try to connected with Shelly, the device is offline. I can't control it. The are working perfectly both only on the same network.
I reboot it. I reset it. Nothing changed.....Any idea what's the issue?.....
BT means the possibility of adding BT presence sensing. Still gonna use custom firmware probably. 🤣
Fair enough. I need to try that actually. I have been postponing that for a long time.
I can’t hear you and the music is too loud
It may have been designed for DIY but in some country's its illegal, for instance here in AUS
DIY isn't illegal. You can have it installed by electrician.ss long as you have it signed off you are ok.
@@notenoughtech yeah goodluck finding an electrician that will give you a COC for anything they didn't do or install
