Shelly adds MQTT support for their WiFi switches

Shelly have added native support for their WiFi relay switches in version 1.3 officially released this week
Configure under Internet and Security > Advanced - Developer Settings and tick " Enable action execution via MQTT"

Once you add your MQTT broker IP and username/password if applicable, you can use an application like MQTT.fx to subscribe to "shellies/#" to discover all of the MQTT goodness coming from your device/s.

The MQTT reference library is available from the Shelly API page here.

For reference, below is my MQTT packages config for Home Assistant. Simply replace the device ID with yours. Note that on one of the Shelly2 relays, I've only configured one of the two relays.

    bonsoir et merci à vous.

    pour configurer sur home assistant 10.0 une sonde de temperature DS8b20 sur un esp8266 + esp easy qui envoie à un mosquitto vers nodered installé comme module de home assistant

    mais j'ai un message :
    Cette entité ("sensor.temperature_cuisine") n'a pas d'ID unique, par conséquent ses paramètres ne peuvent pas être gérés à partir de l'interface utilisateur. Consultez le documentation pour plus de détails.

    ma config dans configuration.yaml
    ##### broker mosquitto #####
    mqtt:
    sensor:
    - name: "temperature exterieure"
    state_topic: "home/ESP_1/DS18b20/tempExt"

How to retain your GUI settings in Kodi

When you restore Kodi or copy your existing Kodi userdata folder to another device it will always default the guisettings.xml, always. Even if you drop your previous settings into Kodi via a network folder, it will still reload it to default upon restart. This is because the guisettings.xml can't be written into the userdata folder when Kodi is running. To prevent this from happening, overwrite the guisettings.xml with SSH using two programs. One to stop and start the Kodi process and one to copy over the backed up guisettings.xml file that contains all your GUI goodness.

Using ESPEasy with Home Assistant via MQTT

Preface: I've just started playing around with Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi and exploring the world of MQTT to control devices on the network. Learning curve is a bit steep but worth the effort as MQTT is very fast. The hardware and software tools I'm using are as follows: 2 x Sonoff relay units 2 x NodeMCU Boards ESPEasy firmware (must be version 121 or above as that contains the MQTT 'retain' flag option.

How to check what entities are filling up your Home Assistant database

If you use the Home Assistant MariaDB add-on, this tip will show you how to query the database so see what Home Assistant entity states are triggering the most, filling up your database. What were going to do: Install the phMyAdmin add-on for MariaDB. Query the MariaDB database. See what entity state changes have the most action. Paste the code below into the SQL query box:  select entity_id,count( * ) from states group by entity_id order by count ( * ) desc; And if you're using the internal home-assistant_v2.db instead, you can use the SQLite Web add-on to achieve the same thing.
