Shelly native MQTT support, Tasmota on the Shelly2, & Setting Up a 3-Way switch

[@craigshinn7126]

Super simple instructions for setting-up my 3-way switch. I used the Shelly 2.5 and had a "hot" wire from another switch. Super-easy to follow your instructions/diagram. Thank you!!

[@toknilsson]

Working really good with the new MQTT feature and I have now integrated a few shelly1 into Home Assistant without flashing them. Thanks for great tutorial! More Shellies (shelly1 and shelly2) have been ordered.

[@dablet]

another great video! thank you. this is my first MQTT device and i cant believe it worked! i followed along with my shelly 1 though. for those who wants the code into configuration.yaml of HomeAssistant, it is: switch: - platform: mqtt name: "shelly kitchen" state_topic: "shellies/shelly1-7726F7/relay/0" command_topic: "shellies/shelly1-7726F7/relay/0/command" payload_on: "on" payload_off: "off" retain: false

[@asztee]

"state_topic: "shellies/shelly1-7726F7/relay/0" " --- it was helpful to me. I have shelly1.

[@TheCharlieBrock]

Rob, thanks so much for including the 3 way drawing in this video. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@raysieber9233]

Well that's a bit of a game changer, this has put these back on my RADAR thanks

[@JamesEggleston]

Good video!! I just got my Shelly2.5 and they are very awesome and easy to install. Sooo small. But please note if using Shelly MQTT , I found that if you enter the payloads in Hassio make sure it's lower case on and off. Capital ON and OFF doesn't work which caused hours of frustratedness, but they are all happy and working now.

[@TheHookUp]

good advice.

[@elRadix]

According to the spec sheet the unit consume less than 1W in standy, so installing 30 devices would add 30W standby thus 21,6kWh per month or 260kWh per year which costs about 75 eur per year. Something to take into account if you want to build it for the whole house.

[@cshoffie6593]

Wasn’t too interested in the Shelly 1, but now I’ve changed my mind and will order a couple to try out. Thanks for the great videos!

[@ricardodelemos9843]

Have you seen the new Shelly 1L, I think that it offers a new way to wire a 3-way but I am waiting for one of your videos to try it out.

[@haus_automation]

Nice summary :) As you already mentioned: With MQTT support there is no need to flash tasmota anymore.

[@TheHookUp]

Hey! I was watching some of your videos this morning... I wish I had taken more than a semester of German!

[@vCloudInfo]

Oh man.. I love that the stock firmware is now HA compatible with MQTT. I still have a few stragglers in the house (mainly bathroom and kid's rooms) that aren't Smart Bulbs.. plus a few pesky 3 way switches.. This is soooo tempting now.. The soldering always scared me though.. Great Video as usual Rob!

[@keechr]

Thanks Rob; great video to reduce the learning curve for MQTT

[@AmeenNihad]

I enjoy watching your videos, they've been very very useful for me. I want to point out that the 3-way switch diagram you proposed is quite dangerous, if you have 3-phase mains, you need to make sure you are feeding (L) and (SW) lines from the same phase, otherwise you will blowup your Shelly, The (I) line should be isolated from the rest of the circuit but it's safer to connect it to same phase too. I didn't expect to find two wires from different phases in the same room, but I did and they were in an outlet and light switch in the same box. I think you should add a warning to the video between 7:00 and 8:30.

[@TheHookUp]

Working with mains should always be done cautiously. In the US putting different phases in the same box has been a code violation for as long as I can remember.

[@nicholaihel2249]

One additional concern regarding the 3-way wiring approach you show. Even if the two circuits in the box are on the same phase (which you say is a code requirement), "stealing" the power from the other circuit does increase the load on that circuit. Both lights will be taking their power from the one circuit, the one with the always-on L in the box, since the runner no longer supplies the power for the 3-way light. This will probably not cause problems in the vast majority of cases, but seems undesirable.

[@RobertLowery]

These videos are a great reference. Thanks for putting them together. Also, you should change the Amazon link to the Shelly 2 to point to the Shelly 2.5 now that it is out and UL listed.

[@chrisc9213]

Another good video Rob, I have a few Shellies, and this just gave me the motivation to put them in a couple of my 3-way switches. Thank you!!

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

Great minds think alike, re: 3-way switch. Also, looks as if I have to retain the existing toggle switches to do this (WAF) so I'll only be installing on 3-way circuits. We're still stuck on up=on for single switch circuits. I'd already jumped on the restock of the 2pk, but next order I'll try to remember your affiliate links. I still need to get a multi-sensor together for outside temp & %RH. Haven't figured out the best place to install yet.

[@dalescott9330]

Ugh, sold out! hope they come in soon, this is exactly what I need to manage the rest of my Christmas decorations, We have several inflatables and it would be great to turn them on and off when it gets windy, and then to see power consumption would just be a bonus.

[@TheHookUp]

They should pop back up as in stock sometime today. The shelly guys said they sent a big shipment over to AmazonUS, it just needs to get processed into the warehouse.

[@jackywoo4975]

Hi there, many thanks for your time; noticing that there are other 3 ways wireling shown on other videos. Have you connected yours according to your diagram and it is working? Yours seems to make more sense then the others. Thanks.

[@TheHookUp]

Wiring a 3 way switch is tough because there's so many different wiring configurations. My configuration is the standard "traveler wire" configuration and I have a Shelly 1 hooked up as shown in the diagram working perfectly.

[@jackywoo4975]

many thanks!

[@willdabeast4430]

Fantastic! Can you post a schematic of a three-way switch with Shelly 2? I think I understand what your saying but it doesn’t a line with the wiring guide that comes in the box. I just want to make sure I understand correctly. From the Shelly schematic the Shelly2 sits on the other side of the first switch?

[@samldev]

Thanks for this video! I'm just jumping into home automation and can't wait to get started. My first attempt will be wiring a 2 way switch setup that control 5 recessed lights in our ceiling. How can I tell which of the 2 existing switches is the one that goes to the lights? And does it make a difference that there are multiple lights controlled by these switches versus just 1? Thank you for any help!

[@TheHookUp]

No difference controlling multiple lights vs one. I can't give specific advice on the setup of your lights since 2-way and 3-way switches are set up very differently in different parts of the world.

[@samldev]

The Hook Up thanks for the reply! I’m in the US in a recently flipped house, so everything should be up to code. I guess I’ll just have to pick one, wire up a shelley, and give it a shot! The journey is part of the fun

[@paywaldo2103]

It's not related to any electrical code, just convenience. Outlets are often have a wire going to the switch box and you generally want outlets to always be live. You use a lot less wire if you don't have to take the outlet circuit back to the panel. (unless it's a dedicated circuit of course)

[@theaustindude]

Wonder when they will be back in stock in the US

[@TheHookUp]

Word is this Friday shelly1 and shelly2 will be back in stock on amazon.

[@erkestel]

Thanks for the excellent video! Would the setup in "Bonus Information!" work with a Shelly 1PM? I wasn't sure if a Shelly 1 was needed or if I could use a 1PM for this. I ask because I am about to place an order to finish off the remaining switches at my house. I really love Shelly products. I have a couple 2.5s in 3 ways, multiple 1PMs, a dimmer in 2 hallways, and a Shelly 1 as a garage door opener.

[@mrphyslaw]

It’s nice to see that the tasmota power monitoring is correct. Flashing looks relatively straight forward compared to some of the tasmota stuff, so I think it’s a no brainer.

[@TheHookUp]

It is very simple, yes. I know some people just want plug and play though.

[@tomk6431]

Awesome video - thanks for the information on setting up the three-way switch. You mention "configure your switch as an EDGE switch" - how is this done with Tasmota? Is it one of the SWITCHMODE settings? Thanks again for this great video!

[@tomk6431]

Answering my own question here - 3 way switch works perfectly without any SWITCHMODE modifications after flashing with Tasmota - just using defaults. Thanks again for the excellent video!

[@trevorkoch8639]

heard anything about when the Shelly2 might be available? Thinking that might be the easy solution to being able to split control of a ceiling fan and light running of a single switch.

[@larsbluhme2797]

Great video. The video says that the units of measure in the total power consumption is kWh. Actually it is in Wh. Is there a way to convert so the HA shows kWh

[@SamHuntAustralia]

Would be good to see a review of the Shelly 2.5 and Shelly 1PM

[@TheHookUp]

[@marcuscicero9735]

Awesome stuff as always Rob, but I have got to ask why are folks gushing about a WiFi controller switch? I just don’t get it. I honestly think I may be missing something but I have Zwave Zigbee (Philips Hue & Lutron Caseta) that are robust. Why would I want a WiFi controlled device? Love to hear your thoughts.

[@garyingle7440]

The Shelly Humidity & Temperature sensor is coming 🔜 I have it on backorder - and they claim it will work with Domoticz out the box. These guys are doing some really good work

[@mindracing]

This is a really nice, informative tutorial. I have a Shelly2 set in RollerShutter mode and can't configure it to operate with Home Assistant. It works fine set as 'Relay'. Should there be three Payloads: Open, Close and Stop? If so, how should this be configured in the switch yaml? If this can work as expected it will be so much better than relying on home assistant code to ensure only one output is on at a time and for stopping the roller shutter in high load conditions.

[@KhaledHiato]

@Ash Scott, any idea if the Shelly 2 be used on any kind of motors and not only Somfy?

[@mindracing]

@@KhaledHiato It should be fine on any single phase or DC motor as it's just two relays with firmware control to provide shutter or blind open and close operation. It can also be configured through the web app as two separate switches.

Great series of videos Rob. Do you know how that Shelly2 would be wired to control electrical blinds ? If possible at all. Thanks

[@TheHookUp]

If they are 110-230ac motors it should work

Hey Rob! Thanks for your videos, I've been watching them all since I discovered your channel late last year. Only now my new house is getting ready to install smart stuff and I started with tasmotized shellies. I have a question for a 3-way switch with a shelly 1 with tasmota. Do I need any special setting for it to work (in shelly fw, yoou have to set it to edge switch)? It either doesn't switch the lamp or it takes some seconds till it does, it appears random to me. If I toggle throught the web interface, it's instantaneous, regardless of the physical switches position. Thanks for the videos!

[@TheHookUp]

I'd double check your wiring, the delay sounds like it might be the shelly booting up, make sure the shelly is getting a constant power source.

[@tomk6431]

One more question ... using this setup for a 3 way switch are you actually able to know absolutely the state of the light in Home Assistant? Wondering what happens when one of the lights is manually toggled . Thanks again for the great video!!

[@TheHookUp]

Yes, absolute state is known because the shelly is in ultimate control of the current.

[@DaveGee2010]

Still can't figure out how to get the (above linked to) jumpers to fit into the really tiny holes..... I ordered exactly what was linked to in the description.

[@TheHookUp]

I fear they may have changed their supplier since I ordered those jumpers (maybe they thought they were making them nicer). Mine are very thin and fit into the holes snugly. Have you tried using a nail file or similar to decrease the diamter of the pin near the tip?

[@chrisc9213]

Rule #1 for me, don't use stranded copper wire in place of solid, it doesn't seem to hold as well as solid copper in the terminal vise connection.

[@jeromeferrin6106]

Your videos are awesome. I'm actually trying to control a Shelly Bulb on Home assistant. I can get it to turn on and off...and recognize, but not control the brightness... Any ideas? :)

Can i use only Shelly and Lamp, without switch button?

[@samsonloic]

Great video as usual!

[@ecmanaut]

Noob question: Would a Shelly 2 sitting behind a switch box with switches for two lights enable you to toggle both lights independently, both via the physical switch, and via Home Assistant? In other words, so whether the physical switch is up or down, an HA-issued "turn on" would turn it on, "turn off" turn it off, and flipping the physical switch toggles whatever state HA has put the light in. I assume that a setup something like that is a typical base want for home automators anywhere, and that making it feel and behave well would be a great subject for another Shelly 2 video. I would not be surprised if it actually takes some Node Red state flow hackery to make sure actual behaviour not have unpleasant counter-intuitive gotchas.

[@TheHookUp]

What you have described is the factory experience. No complicated node red magic. Just install the switch and select "edge switch" as the switch type in the shelly app.

[@maans2001]

[@MichaelIngraham]

I haven't seen anything definitive about how to set the "Will Topic" and "Will Message" for the Shelly firmware when using MQTT. I'm used to the LWT topic for TASMOTA and trapping that to set an online/offline flag for each device. How does LWT work with the Shelly firmware?

One message that opens the door and then another that closes the door. The log shows the following messagers Line 47443: 2018-10-29 12:58:56 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt] Received message on sensor/garage/state1: b'open' then shortly after the open I get the close.

Is there any way to find out who or where these MQTT messages are coming from. Thanks

[@TheHookUp]

So the garage itself isn't opening, it's just telling you it's open via the sensor, correct? Sounds like your reed switch is either going bad or it's too far away from the magnet when it's in closed state.

[@budschultz5544]

The door is going up and down which means that someone is sending it an mqtt message to activate the relay. The read switch is located about 15` from the d1 and is hooked to the 3v and ground. It looks like the switch is indicating correctly when the door is up or down. From what I have seen thus fare it looks like the code is publishing the state topic as I can't find any code anywhere in my config that would do that. When you click the up or down arrow from the front end it sends a button topic not a state topic. baffling like so many things in hassio. Thanks.

yep. /shellyswitch-id/ is for the shelly2. Cheers.

Why is it requiring neutral wiring unfortunate? Don’t get it.

[@TheHookUp]

Because many people don't have a neutral in the switch box and therefore can't easily install the shelly.

Rob, a question for the Aussie and NZ Shelly owners. This is an atypical setup of how we wire in Australia. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSkZmt9fpycp6c I attempted to make a 3-way switch today but just can't get my head around the last step. 1. I can get power to the Shelly 2. I can remotely turn the Lights on and off 3. But I cannot get the switch to activate the lights or send signals to the shelly. Seeing if you have any suggestions.

This won’t fit behind a Uk switch, boxes are only 15 and 25mm

fitted them behind my UK boxes. Most have got lucky

If you're interested in writing them, I'll add them to the video. I don't have any Brazilian or Portuguese friends though.
