Hello everybody,
Inspired by this post, I would like to give a brief overview of Shelly & Homematic in this thread to show potential newcomers the possibilities and conditions.
I deliberately do without the various alternatives, otherwise it was easy.
Basic equipment:
- in addition to a "real" homematic CCU3 - unit, the Charly kit offers the cheapest entry into the homematic world.
Theoretically, it should be possible to operate the CCU software on a Raspi without a homematic radio module, but with all the options you have, if you want to fall back on original homematic components. - Then in the case of Raspi the software will be installed. This is quite easy about an image of the offshoot Raspberrymatic.
Whether you then stay with the Raspberrymatic or ironing the original CCU3 firmware over it anyone can decide freely.
(Raspberrymatic usually has a few more features, but it may also have bugs that are ideally ironed out in the final CCU3 firmware, which is better argued by homematic disciples)
I myself use the original firmware. - Now the free add-on CUxD is needed and installed. CUxD virtualizes homematic devices and then the Shelly is involved. An overview of the already existing connections can be found here.
optional:
You also install the likewise free XML API as an additional communication interface.
And if you want to visualize data, you can use the (of course free) Addon CUxD highcharts.
If at least the basic equipment is available and installed, then you can already rebuild the Shelly couplings.
What else can Homematic do?
Coupling descriptions are available for a wide range of third-party devices.
In addition to Shelly are / were with me, for example, :
- AVM Fritzbox -> WLAN on-off
- Switch AVM DECT switch sockets and request values
- Coupling Phillips HUE gateway with IKEA Tradfri lamps and Osram Smart + Plug (switch sockets)
- Energenie -> via network switchable power strip
- Sonos
But as I said, coupling is much more.
