Hello,
I am pretty new to Shellys, but plan to use them for power monitoring at power plugs and light switches. I want to send periodic power consumption data (and also, if available, event data like "light on"/"light off"), to an external MQTT broker using MQTTS and username/password authentication. After reading through the documentation, I am quite sure this should work, but to be sure I am asking here.
So, to summarize, my questions are:
- Can I configure a Shelly to send the power consumption data periodically via MQTT?
- Can I configure a Shelly to send events (e.g. light on/off) via MQTT?
- Can I use an external MQTT broker by its domain name (e.g. mqtt.somedomain.com:8883)?
- Can I use username/password authentication?
- Can I use encrypted MQTT (MQTTS) - pretty sure that this works ?
Thanks & best regards
Philipp
