Support for Shelly Plus 2PM and Shelly Plus I4 about homebridge-shelly-ng

[alexryd]

Yes I'm working on adding both devices.

[alexryd]

I’ve just released a beta version with support for the 2 PM and the I4. Since I don’t have the devices myself I need someone else to test them.

Are you using your 2 PM as a switch or to control a window cover?

[alexryd]

@marcel255 I will have a look at the naming of the various switches and buttons but it's not a top priority right now.

@SpaceRichard To use the cover mode your device must be calibrated. HomeKit unfortunately doesn't support open/close with time limits.

@okonet I don't think homebridge supports enabling debug logs for individual plugins unfortunately.

@Kohlibrie Nice to hear that it's working 👍 Changing the type to a door or window cover instead will come in a later update. When you say a long time, how long do you mean? I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to reduce the lag.

[SpaceRichard]

As for the Plus i4 there ist already #6

Here my code for Plus 2 PM

@okonet @SpaceRichard

I'm also wondering where did the release go. I don't see it on NPM nor here. Could you maybe release a 1.3 so we could install easily via the homebridge? I'll report issues and try helping fixing if necessary.

You can go to the Plugins section and click the Wrench icon on the plugin. Then click "install previous version". Select the beta version.

Finding and adding the Shelly Plus I4 was successful. Also in Homebridge App, Works flawlessly.

Trigger:
I can only press the button as hardware (on the wall switch). This is not possible virtually via HomeApp, Shelly App, Homebridge Devices. But I think that's normal.
I use the Shelly Plus I4 with the New 4 Wall Button from Shelly, not with a Wall Switch.

On/Off:
Use as an on/off switch for lights or sockets. Works in ShellyApp with webhoock via toggle command.
Light http://IP.of.Shelly.Device/light/0?turn=toggle
Switch http://IP.of.Shelly.Device/relay/0?turn=toggle
In the HomeApp with shortcut workaround. (See Screenshot)

Both devices work for me and for my purpose with the beta without any problems, thank you :)
Sorry for the german language on the pictures xD

Anyone else facing regular disconnection with the 2PMs? I have two of them in roller shutter mode. They work fine via the Shelly-Web-Interface, but in HomeKit they are loosing connection over night and then do not react anymore. A reboot fixes that again, but after a couple of hours they are gone again. Eco-Mode is disabled. Homebridge Log Shows : ,,Device Disconnected (Reason: )” & ,,Failed to set target position: Reqest Timeout” if I try to use them

[okonet]

I also constantly have issues with connection but it also applies to the web UI when accessing via IP address. Most of the time both devices aren't available yet they seem to respond sometimes. I contacted Shelly support and they suggested to open them up and check the connection of the Wi-Fi antenna on the pcb board.

[alexryd]

I just released version 1.3.0 that should fix your disconnection issues by sending periodic pings and automatically reconnecting when a connection is closed.

[okonet]

@alexryd I noticed that you already have code for 2PM. Any chance you could cut a release with support for this device or is there something missing from it? Appreciate you working on it!

[SpaceRichard]

@alexryd I have both.
I4 in use and plus 2 PM on the testing table.
What is the best way to try the beta?

[okonet]

I'm using 2PM as switches but I might get some as covers too soon.

I'm also wondering where did the release go. I don't see it on NPM nor here. Could you maybe release a 1.3 so we could install easily via the homebridge? I'll report issues and try helping fixing if necessary.

I only use the Shelly Plus 2 PM as a switch. I don't have a window cover to test that.
I will also test Shelly Plus I4 asap.

Can you please add the function? That he does not add Switch 1 to the device category but takes the Name (device name) for Shelly Plus 1 PM and Shelly Plus 1. And for Shelly Plus 2 PM and Shelly Plus I4 the Channel Name.

Thank you for your good work!!

[SpaceRichard]

@alexryd
As @marcel255 said Plus 2 PM as switch works fine.

Plus 2 PM Cover Mode
I try the cover mode, without a real load just by the time limits. And I can't control it over the homebridge, it's also stuck in "opening"/"closing" within the Shelly app I can control the relais.

Shelly i4
I got 4 Button and 1 Service Label
But if I press a button I cant see any "update" within homebrige

And I support the request from @marcel255 with the channel name, with 2 i4 it's 10 items and it's a bit messy.
For the service Label you use already the device name.

Thanks so far!

[okonet]

@marcel255 thanks for the hint. It worked!

I've tested a bit two 2PM devices since then I have some issues with them: even when triggered through the HomeKit, it wouldn't trigger the device change although I can switch on/off in the HomeKit. Today it's working just fine 🤷‍♂️ . I'm not sure if that's related to devices or the plugin since there are no debug logs visible (can I enable only for this plugin?) so I'd like to keep an eye on it for now.

I use the Shelly Plus 2 PM in cover mode:
The roller shutter is displayed as a window in the home app:

Also when I switch the shutter appears a long time a loading icon at the roller shutter.

But for the first version, i can control the roller shutter by the home app.

[eliziox]

Hello, first, thanks for this plug-in!

I'm testing 2PM in cover mode too, and I have exactly the same problem that @Sebbo02

Let us know if you need support or more tests to fix it :-)

edit : @okonet Exactly the same ! I have two 2PM and they have also this issue on the web UI

[eliziox]

Great to read this. Even if since 2 days I can't reproduce this issue.

Anyway, we have another issue with the % displayed on homekit when we use external button to control the cover (Homekit displays "Closing" indefinitely). However, it work perfectly when we control the cover under homekit directly.

[McGrummel]

I use the Shelly Plus 2 PM in cover mode: The roller shutter is displayed as a window in the home app:

PM2 still recognized as a window instead of a roller shutter. Is there a possibility of a fix in the near future?

[alexryd]

Version 1.6.0 that I just released adds support for changing the cover type from Window to Window Covering or Door.
