I recently upgraded my OpenHAB installation to the latest version and was thrilled to discover that the Shelly Plus PM Mini device is now fully supported! After struggling with compatibility issues on version 3.4.1, where I kept encountering the ‘IP address of the Shelly device is missing’ error, the upgrade made a world of difference. Here’s how I got it working smoothly:
-
Upgrade OpenHAB: Ensure your OpenHAB is up to date. The latest versions have improved support for a wide range of devices, including the Shelly series.
-
Device Discovery: After upgrading, I simply let OpenHAB’s device discovery feature do its magic. The Shelly Plus PM Mini was detected without any hassle.
-
Configuration: Once detected, configuring the device was straightforward. I used the built-in rules engine to set up automation based on power usage, which is perfect for monitoring my home office setup.
-
Tips for Others: If you’re facing similar issues, my advice is to check for OpenHAB updates regularly. The community and development team are consistently improving compatibility and adding new features.
It’s amazing how a simple upgrade can resolve such headaches. I’m now looking forward to exploring more integrations and automations with OpenHAB. Happy tinkering everyone!
