Victron Cerbo / Shelly integration!

I don't personally have any use for this... since the Cerbo is basically just an "input" for our Van Assistant system. But I think it's pretty cool that Victron continues to add more features to the Cerbo/Venus environment.

I'm on beta code, so I'm not sure exactly which version added this... but suddenly Shelly devices started showing up in the Cerbo GUI. So far, it's all just on/off switches for each device; but that's sort-of how the Ruuvi integration started - simple, at first.

I've got Shelly Plugs, relays (Shelly-1), and RGBW-PM units in the system currently. and they're all just showing up. This page seems to be to "enable" them.

Once enabled, they show up in a really ugly/terrible side-to-side-scrolling setup. But they're there and they work! They only seem to show the first load of an RGBW (I'm using all four leads as separate loads); but I'm sure that will advance in time.

Ruuvis were similarly ugly initially, but Ruuvis now show humidity when available; but don't currently show the additional features (motion, altitude).

Well this is serendipitous! I just connected the van Victron to HA at the house.

Looks like I'll be playing around with some Shelly stuff this winter. (y)

That reminds me... there's a new integration for Victron that works very well - especially for initial setup. It can run side-by-side as well. Just install victron_mqtt from HACS. It'll detect your Cerbo/Venus and all the equipment therein. A WHOLE lot easier than the manual MQTT setup - and seems pretty stable. Check out the Git here.
