Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating multiple smart devices using Shelly and MQTT. As a new homeowner, I’ve been on a mission to automate my lighting system without major renovations. My setup includes a mix of Shelly 1PM Mini Gen3 units and traditional light switches, which I’ve managed to connect seamlessly using potential-free contacts.
Initially, I faced some challenges with the relay control, but after some research and tweaking, I figured out the right configuration. The key was understanding how to utilize the input/output settings properly. Now, I can control my lights both physically and through the Shelly app, which is a huge win!
For those looking to integrate Shelly devices with MQTT, I’ve found that setting up the correct topics and ensuring bi-directional communication is essential. I’d love to hear if anyone else has tips or experiences to share on optimizing MQTT configurations for home automation. Happy integrating!
