Shelly Wall Display firmware 2.0

[FPVZaphod]

WORKS 🙂

Big thanks to @Dimitar Buckoff, he instantly answered my PN, and made it work.

PLAYTIME!

Oh yeah, what a pain... 
I had the hope to just create a button on the display, give it a name, and it will appear in the iobroker adapter. And on top show the status, so once it's changed somewhere else, the button on the WD also updates. 
Neiter of them seems to work currently 😮 
So I will try with webhooks, controlling the target shelly directly, and hope that there is a way to get feedback from this shelly.

nope not so easy, may @Dimitar Buckoff plan an integration as you mention.

@FPVZaphod you see the same http request error from WD for some messages?

The Wall Display DOES report button:2xx pushes to Mqtt on '/events/rpc'. It does not currently report virtual components in Shelly.GetStatus and Shelly.GetConfig, which is in err and will be fixed soon, but even after adding them, the ioBroker.Shelly adapter does not recognise them (I checked the source of the adapter). Nevertheless, the touch events of the virtual button can not be broadcast via status, they can only be broadcast via events. As @FPVZaphod mentioned, it is safe to use webhooks.

Which adapter are you using? If it's ioBroker.shelly, it does not support virtual components in WD at all.

Hello 

Anyone have the sonos Roam linked to the shelly wall display? I'm able to see the speaker but I can't select this device to be the output device for the audio ... online radio or MP3 files.

By the way the new device shelly dali dimmer GEN 3 are not available to by selected to add as a controlled device on the shelly wall display, is this normal? Or in the future this device is to be included? 

Thank you

Hi,

is there an option to configure the Wall Display to remove humidity, power consumption and temperature default items? That would allow more customization as the display seems to have SO much potential!

Arrived yesterday, and even after 5min with it Shelly convinced me that this thing is better than my Sonoff panel 🙂

And if you could drop everything but the clock from the screensaver that would be awesome.

Is there a firmware repository which I can use from my PC - my Wall Display refuses to download the new firmware - seems to time-out continually.

Thanks

Dear all, 

We are happy to release completely re-designed Shelly Wall Display UI. On top of that we added more features as: Weather and Music player for MP3 files + Radio streaming. For maximum music experience we recommend you to pair you Wall Display with an external Bluetooth speaker. 

THIS IS A BETA VERSION !!! You may lose stored data and may need to make a factory reset. Please report all discovered bug in comments of this thread. 

How to update: 

1. Use device UI and update it to Beta version. 
2. Attention: After the update the device screen may stay black for a while - DO NOT REBOOT, then you will see the new UI. 
3. Enjoy 

 

Managing display UI: 

There are 2 different tile sizes - Single (50% of screen height) and Double (100% of screen height). You can change card size later for all tiles except for Music and Weather. 

You can add to your home screen: Device tiles, Scene tiles, Group tiles, Virtual button tiles, Weather tile and Music player tile. 

To do that you need to swipe from top of the screen and choose "+" button. Then follow the on-screen instructions. 

To re-arrange card position, change the card or delete it, choose "Pen" icon, then the icon related to the action you want to perform. 

How to set weather: 

1. Scroll down from the top of the screen, choose a "+" and then choose Weather. 
2. Now you have the Weather tile on your home screen. This tile can not be resized.
3. You can only have one tile of this type on your home screen.
4. Press "..." on the right-bottom of the tile to see detailed forecast information.
5. You can also force update the forecast if the automatic update failed for some reason.

How to set and use music player: 

1. On you home screen swipe down from the top, choose "+" and then choose Music. 
2. Now you have the Music player tile on your home screen. This tile can not be resized.
3. You can only have one tile of this type on your home screen.
4. Press "..." on the right-bottom of the card to browse more than 55000 radio stations separated by country. You can also search for particular radio stations.
5. If you want to search for a radio station in a specific country, add its name to the end of your query (e.g. "Magic Bulgaria" or "Magic bg"). 
6. Currently no other streaming services are supported but we will add them in the future. 
7. There is option to upload your favourite MP3 files directly. To do that you need to open Web UI by IP address. Go to Media and Drag and Drop files. At the moment you need to do that one by one. Upload multiple files at same time will be supported in the future.
8. Please keep in mind that the more MP3 files you upload, the longer the Media Library will load. If you upload too many files, this may affect the application startup. 

Pair external Bluetooth speaker: 

1. Put your speaker into pairing mode. 
2. Choose Setting icon on the bottom of the screen.
3. Click on Audio, then choose "Pair with Bluetooth speaker". 
4. Choose your speaker from the list. 

Set any Shelly external temperature sensor in your account: 

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and choose the "Pen" icon. 
2. On the left-top side you will see an option to "Choose a sensor". 
3. Click on it, choose a room and then choose a device which report temperature.
4. Note: this sensor's reading will only be displayed on the first two header tiles (Temperature and Humidity). To make the Wall Display use the data from a different sensor, you must pair a Shelly BLU H&T.

Pair the device with Shelly BLU H&T: 

1. Click on "Settings" Icon on the bottom of the screen. 
2. Choose "General".
3. Choose "Pair with external sensor". 
4. Follow the prompt holding BLU H&T button close to the screen (20-30 cm). 
5. Paired sensor will be used as main sensor for Shelly Wall display.

Virtual buttons: 

Virtual buttons allow you to send from Shelly Wall display a HTTP requests to 3rd party systems (e.g. HA). 

1. Open Web UI by IP
2. Click on "Components"
3. Click on "New component" and set a Name. 
4. The new virtual component will appear in the list.
5. On the right side you will find the Actions icon. There you can set HTTP command which want to be send when button is pushed 1, 2 or 3 times, or long pushed. 
6. 
7. Now, on the home screen of your Wall Display swipe down from top of the screen. 
8. Click "+" and then choose "Virtual components"
9. Select the created button. 
10. Choose size of the card as you want and add it to the screen. 
11. You now have a virtual button on your home screen. Try tapping it once, twice, thrice and holding it.

Zendure integration: 

If you have Balcony PV with Zendure you can add Zendure as a device on the page. 

 

You can discover more by yourself. Enjoy!

After evaluation from you, this beta will go live for everyone.

 

 

 

Hi,

great new Software and your description for adding virtual components is great. It works on my machine.:-)

So, I have the virtual button on the Wall Display, but neither in the app nor in my HA. I want to do the same thing the guy in the video is doing. With the Pro 1 it seems to work. Is there a difference between the Wall Display and the Pro1 regarding virtual components? I am a newbie and if this is the wrong channel I kindly ask for the right one.

Virtual components created in the wall display are actually showned in Home Assistant, but it does not show up as an entity. Instead it shows as an event.

You can find the info you need by listening for an shelly.click event in Developer Tools in HA

You can then create an action based on that data.

I have made a video about it. although it's in danish i do think it is explained just bu looking at the video 🙂





I have made this video

It would be really important to have a feedback via mqtt to the virtual button, to show it's state. Running Homeassistant is not an Option for me, as I extensively use iobrokers scripting, and HASS is just not made for that. Sending states and events from the WD over HASS to iobroker would be just administrative overkill, pity that there is no simple way to offer the whole iobroker device tree to homeassistant.
The next I will try is to use the WD Homeassistant Integration, but point it to the iobroker lovelace frontend. Maybe this gets displayed in the Wall Display, if I reverse-proxy Port 8123 (HASS) to the matching URL on port 8091 (iobroker)?
I hope there will be a direct way via iobroker-shelly adapter soon!

Hi, been trying firmware b4, seems good so far.

 

Have som small things:

- There seems to be a "bug" with the screen auto off timer.

When using the screen (finger is on screen), it still dims down (5 sec delay), and even if scrolling, the timer for screensaver starts even though the finger is on the screen and shuts the screen off.

 

- "Turn off screen when idle" setting disappear when choosing to turn off "Screen Auto brightness"

Please keep the setting available, sometimes we need to set custom screen brightness but we want the screen to turn off aswell.

 

- A a timer for the "dim screen" would be really great, 5 sec as now is a bit fast, could we get a setting for it?

 

Keep it up!
