Shelly Uni as temperature sensor

[olivermast]

Thanks alexryd, your plugin works beautiful for my and our house – thanks a lot!

I would like to use a shelly uni as temparature sensor. Is it possible to display the two sensor temperature-values in the app?

Thats were great :-)

Same. Will use MQTT for now but wouod be nice to have in your plugin. Same goes for temp sensor on Shelly1 if possible

Any progress on this front? Would love to use the Uni with an DS18B20 temperatur sensor. @MycroftVonLipwig, would you share how you did it with MQTT and @alexryd, do you have an idea where to start? I would love to implement it.

In case someone is trying to achieve the same, I forked a repository that can be found here and built the homebridge plugin homebridge-json-thermometer.

I think this is the easiest way to get the temperature in HomeKit.

• install the homebridge plugin homebridge-json-thermometer
• add the settings (see screenshot below)
  • http route is the ip of your shelly followed by /status → http://x.x.x.x/status
  • json path should be ext_temperature[0].tC for the temperature in celsius
• I also added a min and max temperature (orange highlight below) to filter out false values because my ds18b20 returned 0°C and 999°C from time to time
• restart homebridge
