Shelly RGBW2 - config request.. #189

Hi! does anybody managed to successfully connect Shelly RGBW2 and control leds color and brightness? I just manage to turn it on and off, cant get color change to work.

I do not use dedicated plugin to control shelly cuz i have two AP (one network), and when shelly connect to "another than homebridge" then they dont respond.

Can you share the format of the MQTT messages that you want mqttthing to send?

You can find the API documentation right here

The Shelly RGBW2 is listening commands on the following topic: shellies/shellyrgbw2-<deviceid>/color/0/set

You can send those different attributes to your Shelly:

{
    "mode": "color",
    "red": 0,      
    "green": 0,        
    "blue": 255,      
    "gain": 100,
    "white": 0,     
    "effect": 0,
    "turn": "on"
}

The only annoyance that I had with home bridge-mqttthing is that when setRGBtopic is populated, setBrightness and getBrightness is ignored. So basically I have to force a gain of 100 because for a Shelly RGBW2, 255,0,0 with a gain of 1 is a very dim red, when on Homebridge-mqtthing its something like 1,0,0

I wonder if there is a clean way to handle this
