Hello fellow HA enthusiasts!
I wanted to share my recent success in integrating the Shelly Pro 3EM into my Home Assistant setup. Initially, I faced some challenges, but I figured it out, and I’m excited to share my experience and tips with you!
The Journey
I’ve been using Shelly devices for a while now, and they’ve been rock solid. However, the Shelly Pro 3EM was a bit tricky at first. I followed the official HA documentation, but the device kept disconnecting. After some research and tweaking, I found a solution that worked for me!
Key Takeaways
Here are some tips that might help if you’re struggling with the Shelly Pro 3EM:
- Firmware Update: Ensure your Shelly device is running the latest firmware. I updated mine through the Shelly app and noticed a significant improvement in stability.
- Websocket Configuration: I switched from HTTP to Websocket in the Shelly integration settings. This reduced connection issues and made the device more responsive.
- Network Stability: Check your network settings. I moved the Shelly to a more stable Wi-Fi channel, which made a huge difference.
- Regular Reboots: I set up a weekly reboot for the Shelly using HA’s automation. It’s a simple fix that prevents any long-term issues.
The Payoff
Now, my Shelly Pro 3EM is seamlessly monitoring my electricity usage, and it’s incredibly accurate. It’s been a game-changer for my energy monitoring setup!
