Configuration as WindowsCovering for Shelly 2PM not working

[DiMaSchine]

Hi,

I have have a Shelly 2 PM that controls a windows shutter. Previously this worked fine with the Shelly 2.5. However, the 2 PM only is recognized as a windows, not as a window cover. I have configured it as a cover in the config and restarted everything several times, but it is still only being shown as a window.

I am doing something wrong?

`{

"name": "Shelly NG",

        "mdns": {
            "enable": true
        },
        "devices": [
            {
                "exclude": false,
                "switch:0": {
                    "exclude": false,
                    "type": "switch"
                },
                "switch:1": {
                    "exclude": false,
                    "type": "switch"
                },
                "switch:2": {
                    "exclude": false,
                    "type": "switch"
                },
                "switch:3": {
                    "exclude": false,
                    "type": "switch"
                },
                "cover:0": {
                    "exclude": false,
                    "type": "windowCovering"
                }
            }
        ],
        "platform": "ShellyNG"
    }
] `

No expert here. Your config seems legit, but you can try to add id. I was using window before and then switched to windowCovering as well.
You may remove your cached devices and start over. But for me it was not necessary.

                {
                    "id": "shellyplus2pm-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                    "exclude": false,
                    "name": "Shady 1",
                    "cover:0": {
                        "exclude": false,
                        "type": "windowCovering"
                    }
                },

Ok, now it worked for me. For everyone having the same issue in the future:

• I removed the device from the config file and from the cache
• I de-installed the plug in
• I re-installed the plug in
• In the initial Plug In windows, which shows up after the installation and restart, I added the device via the ip address (my shellys all have a fixed IP) and defined it there directly as cover.

Now it is being recognized as a cover.

@DiMaSchine: I have the same problem. I have now also tried to reinstall the plugin and I have also deleted the Shelly +2PM from the cache. Unfortunately, it is still displayed only as a window. You have written that you have also set it in the initial plugin window as a cover. Where did you do that. I can only set this in the configuration json file.

Hello @DiMaSchine

I've already done what you advise, but I still can't switch from window to windowCovering. I already uninstalled and reinstalled When I install the plugin, it immediately adds shelly to homekit.

In the Hoobs settings, I've tried everything, and nothing.

Can you show your configuration? Please Thanks

Can you show your configuration? Please Thanks

Hi, here is the (I hope) relevant part of the config. Is this what you meant?

{ "name": "Shelly NG", "mdns": { "enable": true }, "devices": [ { "id": "shellyplus2pm-44YYYYYYY3c", "name": "playceholder", "exclude": false, "hostname": "192.168.178.203", "switch:0": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:1": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:2": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:3": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "cover:0": { "exclude": false, "type": "windowCovering" } } ], "platform": "ShellyNG" },

Sorry for being so late. Did you figure it out in the meantime? Othwerwise let me know.

Hello @DiMaSchine

I'll try in a little while. You put the code directly on the plugin or you gonna go to the hoobs' advvanced?

[SilvioMigu]

Decide only removed, when i remove the plugin.

When I remove the device from the Hoobs cache, when Hoobs restarts, it adds the device again.

When I remove the plugin, I can then remove the hoobs cache provision.

Then when I install the plugin, the device is immediately added and in the plugin settings, this is: { "platform": "Shelly NG" }

So I delete the configuration and paste yours there, with my settings, right?

It's work 🙌🙌🙌👌 Thanks a lot

[SilvioMigu]

I changed the default name of the device and put it in the code and it now works. Thank you very much
