Virtual Garage Door with Shelly Plus 1 - Python questions
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2023 2:57 pmI am trying to use a Shelly Plus 1 in a garage door solution. Because the Plus 1 is not yet supported in the Shelly plugin, I have implemented a virtual device that can now open and close the garage door and update the control page using a system variable.
I am stuck on three things for a more elegant solution:
1. To update the door's status, how can I poll the Plus 1 every 15 seconds or so. I know how to ask the device, I can't find how to implement polling in Indigo.
2. Is there a way to pass an IP address of the Plus 1 to the open and close action groups at the heart of the virtual device solution. Or do I need separate action goup for each ip address?
3. Lastly, and least important, the Shelly Plus 1 can send an http message when its reed switch opens and closes. Is there a way for Indigo to receive the message from the Shelly relays? If so, the need for polling is almost nonexistant.
Thank you very much.
