Shelly 1 & 1pm example api flows

README.md

A small collection of HTTP API & MQTT flows to help you get started talking between node-RED and a Shelly 1/1pm wifi relay.

The shelly api setup guide is not the easiest to understand (at least to me!), so after several readings, I got my shelly 1pm talking to node-RED, and have added the flows here in case they provide a useful start for others.
All you need to do to use these examples are change the IP in the function nodes to that of your shelly's IP, and also edit the MQTT nodes to use the ID of your shelly (for example - shelly1pm-BA1936).
See https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#common-http-api for the official api docs.

There are 3 sections to this gist,

• mqtt
• http requests
• flow to accumulate power readings

MQTT
Examples showing how to receive data from the shelly, and also control it's relay state.

http requests
The HTTP API allows users to not only control the relay state, but also to receive it's status, change configuration settings, reboot the device, etc...

flow to accumulate power readings
A flow (which is not my own work!) to receive the the regular power readings from the shelly, and create a accumulated reading. The flow maintains continuity even if the shelly is rebooted/loses power etc.
The accumulated data can be reset, for example every midnight, by injecting the 'reset energy counter'.
