Looking for someone to flash sonoff dongle as router. Will pay for service

I not sure on that. Originally I would have recommended a MHcozy wifi, since its basically the same as the zigbee on. Unfortunately mine went haywire and was acting eratically. Garage door opening and closing fir 12 hours, lol. Screw MHcozy. I guess you should look at some sort of Shelly, but someone else should recommend which.

Just use a wifi device that supports hubitat locally.

You win. Im all ears man. Could you suggest a momentary relay for this case?

You might have missed this earlier in the thread. The Shelly devices I indicated in this post referenced below can function as a momentary relay. They are WiFi devices that are Hubitat-compatible.

The WiFi MHCozy devices are not Hubitat-compatible. And AFAIK, they are not Tasmota-compatible either.

Shelly relay …..

Here's a nice intro to the Shelly Wi-Fi relay opening/closing stuff (well a garage door in this vid).

Just wanted to keep everybody updated. I bought a POE switch, an outdoor POE switch, a Tp-Link EA225 outdoor WAP, a Shelly 1+, cable, connectors and an Ethernet adapter tool.

My setup is now this.

FiOS router -200' via coax to FiOS extender-POE switch- 300' to outdoor POE switch- 100' to outdoor WAP.

I have Wi-Fi where I need it but I cannot get the Shelly integrated into HE. I've been reading forum posts for hours. Kind of aggravated. Relay works fine via the Shelly app. Nothing via HE.

I think my next step is to just add 2nd hub down there.

I don't have any of the Shelly Plus devices, so shot in the dark... but maybe try this driver:

New Shelly Plus Drivers

This Shelly just support on or off, so the long press wont do anything else then just switch from on to off.. unless i have misunderstood something. With this driver you can schedule the status update, so if you use the physical or official shelly app to change the states they well also be uptated in he. Give it a try and if you vave issues just poke me and I'll try to fix them.

Thank you. I'll try it when I get to the laptop.

You are a god damn hero. The driver worked! It will check state every 2 mins which is cool as I have the Shelly set up as a momentary. Dont know where you pulled that from but thank you so much. Its currently working on the bench and I was able to get it into ActionTiles. Ill report back when I get it in the field.

Ok so I'm going to consider this 99% done. Thanks so much to everyone for the help.

Setup the Shelly as a button with an auto off after 2 seconds. Wired in the relay and tested it from my kitchen panel. She works!

I was a bit nervous as I had to switch the Shelly SSID to the outdoor WAP but the ip address stuck and everything worked despite being on 2 different wireless networks.

The only hiccup I'm having is the driver will sometimes not fetch the state of the Shelly 1 after it's 2 minute setting so the dashboard icon will sometimes always say on as it thinks it's a switch.

I tried to work around this by making a virtual button and using the button controller app to trigger the Shelly. This works but for some reason ActionTiles will not let me add the virtual device as a button. In fact, no virtual devices show up in the device list even after adding them to the ActionTiles app via Hubitat.

Not really sure what that's about but at least I can open the gate from the kitchen now. Just have to hit the button twice.

On the side note, I was trying to start setting up my POE cameras and I learned I am completely ignorant to anything home networking. Something about port forwarding and protocols. My head was spinning last night. 1 or 2 hours of reading and I'm no smarter than when I started. I think I'm just going to put a Ring camera down there for now even though I already bought all the POE cameras. I was attempting to use Tiny Cam Pro to get a url for a Media Tile but I could not get that ■■■■ figured out.

Again, thank you guys. Appreciate it.
