I’ve been on a journey to create a seamless smart home setup, and I’m thrilled to share my success story! ![]()
Recently, I wanted to integrate my Shelly devices with Homey to automate my lighting system. The goal was to have my lights turn on automatically when I enter a room and dim when it’s dark outside. After some research, I stumbled upon a helpful guide in the forums about setting up Shelly devices with Homey using IFTTT and Google Home. It was exactly what I needed!
Here’s what I did:
- Setup Shelly Devices: I connected my Shelly plugs to the desired lights and ensured they were properly configured in the Shelly app.
- Integrate with Homey: Using the Homey app, I added my Shelly devices and set up scenes for different lighting modes (e.g., Evening Relax, Movie Night).
- Automation with IFTTT: I created a rule where motion sensors trigger the Evening Relax scene, adjusting the lights to a cozy setting.
- Sunset Adjustment: I linked the lights to a sunset timer in Google Home, ensuring they dim automatically as it gets darker.
The result? Perfect automation! My lights now adapt seamlessly to my routines and the time of day. ![]()
This experience taught me the power of combining different smart home ecosystems. The support from the community was invaluable, and I’m excited to explore more possibilities! Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge—cheers to a smarter home! ![]()
