INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This shelly device allow you to control a the dimming of a light.
It can Turn on\/off a light and control the fading all in one device.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Web interface configurations<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 1<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Connect to the shelly device hot spot and get inside its web interface by typing the default IP address 192.168.33.1<\/b>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/searchbar-shelly.png” alt=”How to connect inside the shelly web interface” title_text=”Connecting to web interface” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In order to set the shelly in wifi client mode:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Get inside internet security settings<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Wifi client<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Check the box inside called\u00a0Connect the\u00a0Shelly<\/span>\u00a0device to an existing WiFi Network<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mqtt-web-wifi.png” alt=”How to set the wifi client mode to shelly device” title_text=”Client mode in shelly” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 3<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

To set the MQTT inside this device:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong>Internet security settings<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/strong>Advanced-Developer settings<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/strong>Check the box Enable action execution via MQTT<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Set the server IP address<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/strong>Set the QoS (Quality of Service) to 2.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/QoS-dimmer.gif” alt=”How to set the MQTT protocol inside web interface” title_text=”Web interface MQTT ” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 4<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Open your Eve automation software and create a new MQTT gateway,
here is a guide<\/a> that explane how to do it.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Gateway-mqtt-creation.png” alt=”MQTT protocol gateway creation” title_text=”MQTT protocol ” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 5<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Add a switch component into the project, change its gateway to the one you created before.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/changing-gateway.gif” alt=”How to change the gateway to components ” title_text=”gateway changing” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 6<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Set up the topics, you can check the topics’s composition in the shelly website<\/a>.
All the three topics that we will set have an accurate explanation inside the shelly website.<\/p>\n

By clikcing this link <\/a>you will be able to see the configuration.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/topics_dimmer-1.png” alt=”How to set up the topics inside the componets ” title_text=”Topics set up” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

HOW TO SET THE DIMMER FUNCTION IN MQTT<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 1.1<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

To set the dimmering<\/strong> at a ligh with shelly MQTT, add a slider component into the project,
change the gateway to the MQTT we used in the switch.<\/p>\n

Set up the Topics<\/strong> as shown in the picture below.<\/p>\n

Click this link<\/a> to be able to consult the Topic configuration.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dimmer_topic_giusto.png” alt=”How to set the topics in the dimmer component inside eve automation software” title_text=”dimmer_topic_giusto” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Step 1.2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set a dimmer component,<\/strong> by selecting the switch and the slider compoenent from the drop down menu inside it.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dimmer-component.gif” alt=”How to set a dimmer component with MQTT protocol inside Eve automation software” title_text=”Dimmer component in Eve Autoamtion software” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”18px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 1.3<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Lets check if all has been correctly set, download and innstal the MQTT fx software or open it in case you already have it.
Subscribe to the topic: shellies\/shellydimmer-<deviceID>\/light\/0\/#, and start switching on\/off the switch inside the Eve remote app, you should be able to see

1- Make sure to have the last version available for EVE manager<\/a> and Eve X1 server firmware.<\/p>\n

2- Make sure the shelly plug is connected in your network.<\/p>\n

3- If you can’t connect to the broker check if the X1 server has been wired correctly.
