Vote for Shelly UNI

You want to use the Install from URL option in HPM (Hubitat Package Manager).

Do you think this pressure reading (level translating) probe would work and survive in a heavily silted, often dry, sometimes algae'd, water application ?

I checked in a change (version 0.0.10 in HPM) that limits the decimal display precision to two digits.

You are trying to install a package manifest as a driver.
This is not the driver code @tomw do you have a direct url for your uni driver that Tim can install from?

You can install each of the 'location' entries. They're links to the 'raw' GitHub code pages.

If you prefer the interactive repo, the same files are here: GitHub - tomwpublic/shelly_experimental

I will suggest HPM though- it's a lot easier to install in one step using the single URL than to tediously install each of these. But either way should work.

Thanks much @tomw and @Cobra, that really helped. I got the Hubitat Package Manager installed and the Shelly drivers and devices installed. Now I need to figure out how to configure the Shelly Uni.

Create a Virtual Device of type Shelly UNI. Then enter your Shelly IP address and save. That should establish communication with your Uni and create all of the necessary child devices.

Thanks @tomw, the Shelly Uni driver is awesome.

I figured out why I couldn't configure the Shelly Uni on the configuration page. I put in the IP address as http:// 192.168.50.202/, which didn't work. So, I changed it to 192.168.50.202 and it started working and gave all the child devices.

Then I configured the "Shelly Uni for Reef Tank-adc0" to read the correct voltage, since the default voltage offset was -0.4 volts. I changed it to "-0.0" and it worked.

I was then able to create an alert app that sends a notification to my phone. Although, a tricky part was I had to use "Custom Attribute" as the capability of the Trigger event

It works perfectly now :slightly_smiling_face:

One more question. I haven't been able to add the Shelly Uni to my Dashboard to monitor voltage, since it doesn't show up as a device in the "Add A Tile" Pick A Device drop down menu.

Could it be that the Shelly Uni was created as a virtual device?

No, it should show up there. You may have to go to the configuration page for that dashboard instance and add the device to the list.

Thanks! I can't believe I forgot about that.

Also, for anyone trying to add a Shelly Uni tile with Voltage, I had to pick the "Attribute" Template and then select Voltage from the Pick an Attribute pull-down.

Hi, can you please lead me how did you install the HPM ?
Thanks in advanced

See the official HPM thread for details and instructions:

I'm pretty sure this is what I did to install HPM.

First, go to https://github.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-packagemanager and click on Go to File.

Then click on apps/Package_Manager_groovy.

Then copy the code over to Hubitat to "Add User App" on the Apps tab.

I hope this helps. :slightly_smiling_face:

Choose "Shelly UNI". The others are component devices that will be created automatically, if needed.

very helpful team here . thanks for sharing this driver for UNI. tomw great job.

is there a way to add to your UNI driver a water tank level Tile on Hubitat ?
which covert the voltage signal coming from UNI to water/liquid level animation? so we can use Uni to measure tanks level. example this sensor read 0-5 0r 0-10 volts .compatible with UNI.
it would great.

I'm planning on doing the same thing for the sump on my Reef Tank. Although, I haven't done it yet.

great vedio, WE SMART channel is my favorite .
I could add UNI to Hubitat by following your instructions.
it gave me voltage measurment on the Tile same like Shelly app.
what iam looking for now is how to make a tank animation Tile on Hubitat to be friendly user for my familly to see tank level without calculating the Uni Volts.
if you reach any idea please share.
