Step 7<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

MQTT protocol is working you will able to see the topics you’ve set in eve manager.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/mqtt-rgb-.gif” 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_divider _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

COLOUR CHANGER<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”10px||19px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]In this part of the guide is explaned how to set a color changer to your rgb device.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Step 1.1<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Add a new rgb light component,
\nselect from the drop down menu of the component the broker we have set at the begining of this guide.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/broker-selection.gif” alt=”How to set up change the gateway to MQTT inside the RGB component inside the Home automation configuration software EVE Manager” title_text=”RGB MQTT gateway switch” 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 1.2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Set up the topics, the topics that we will set are “write<\/strong>” and “event<\/strong>“. As show in the picture below these are the two topic that Eve will subscribe to.
You will need to put the string written below inside the topic corrispective text box.<\/p>\n

By clicking on this link<\/a> you will be able to see the topic conifiguration.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/color-changer-topics-1.png” alt=”MQTT Colour changer topic set up inside the Home automation configuration software EVE Manager ” title_text=”Colour changer topic 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_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_margin=”||9px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]Step 1.3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add the component inside the user interface and upload the porject into your Eve X1 device.
\nThen open your Eve automation app, you should be able to see the rgb device changing colour.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/uploading-rgb.gif” alt=”Complete RGB colour changer configuration upload from inside the Home automation configuration software EVE Manager” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

COLOUR WHITE<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Here explained how to configure the white colour power on in the shelly RGBW2 using the MQTT protocolo inside EVE Manager Pro.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Step 2.1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First thing that is needed in order to make the white mode works is:<\/p>\n

Head to the your shelly rgbw2 web interface and on the setting button on the bottom right of the page;<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Shelly_rgb2_web_interface.png” title_text=”Shelly_rgb2_web_interface” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Step 2.2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now Click on “device type” section, and select the second option “White –\u00a0<\/span>Shelly<\/span>\u00a0controls 4x White LED stripes”, now the shelly will reboot and set up the white color mode.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shelly_rgbw2_-whitemode.gif” title_text=”shelly_rgbw2_ whitemode” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 2.3<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The configuration of the white function inisde the shelly’s EVE Manager Configuration are similar to the standard power coniguration but with a topic exeption as shown below. Yoi will only need to switch the word color and write the word “white”.<\/p>\n

Indipendetly on which channel you will use. the steps are the same.<\/p>\n

By clicking this link<\/a> will open the configuration of the switch component.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Topic_white_1.png” title_text=”Topic_white_1″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 2.4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now let’s build the slider that will set the brightness of the white light. Add a slider component inside the component section in EVE Manager and configure it like shown in the pitecure below.<\/p>\n

By clicking this\u00a0link<\/a>\u00a0you will open the configuration file of the slider.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shelly-rgbw2-slider.png” title_text=”shelly-rgbw2-slider” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Step 2.5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can see from the picture below, once the component is clicked from the EVE Remote App interface the led strip, which the shelly device is connected to, will turn on in white colour.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/support.ilevia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shelly_rgbw2_-whitemodetry.gif” title_text=”shelly_rgbw2_ whitemodetry” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]TROUBLE SHOOTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

1- Make sure to have the last version available for EVE manager and Eve X1 server<\/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 ha been wired correctly.
