Add Plus battery devices into Home Assistant
Shelly Plus battery devices can be auto-discovered in Home Assistant, but they may be missing some entities.
To enable them, you need to do some settings in the device’s web server.
In this example, I use the Shelly Plus H&T.
You can make the settings from the “Shelly Smart Control” app, from control.shelly.cloud
and from the device’s web server.
Step 1: Enable Websocket
From App or control.shelly.cloud
From device webserver
- Go to the device settings -> Network Setting
- Select Outbound websocket
- Enable SSL connectivity
- Select ca.perm
- Type: ws://ip of homeassistant:port number/api/shelly/ws
Example: ws://192.168.1.100:8123/api/shelly/ws
Note: If You run Home Assistant with HTTPS You may ned to use wss:// - Click Save
- Go to the device web server by entering its IP-address in a browser
- Select Settings
- Select Outbound websocket
- Enable Outbound Websocket
- Select Default TLS in CONNECTION TYPE
- Type: ws://ip of homeassistant:port number/api/shelly/ws
Example: ws://192.168.1.100:8123/api/shelly/ws
Note: If You run Home Assistant with HTTPS You may need to use wss:// - Click Save
