Last year I wrote several articles for Residential Tech Today on Sense and have been a Sense owner ever since. I just finished writing an article for Residential Tech Today on Shelly’s ( https://shelly.cloud/ ) product line of IoT relays; many of which include energy monitoring. Shelly relays are ve…

[image] jay.m.basen: To retrieve the power from a Shelly EM is as simple as sending the following http request: “http://” + Device_IP + “/emeter/” + Channel + “/power” Or, if the device is password protected “http://” + Username + “:” + Password + “@” + Device_IP + “/emeter/” + Channel + “/po…

Shelly devices have “url actions” where the IP address of another device can be specified and the Shelly device will send updates to that IP address. Unfortunately, the EM has url actions for events such as its internal relay being turned on/off but not for changes in power readings. I have reques…

Hi, did you have any luck getting Sense to work with Hoobs? I just tried installing it the other day - there were two plugins. I tried the one that looked like it was actually being supported but nothing happened - no devices etc.

This is a bit of a noob question. I wanted to try the senselink software, but I can’t figure out how to get it running on my raspberry pi. Any suggestions would be helpful.

@ben.burbank I wrote SenseLink - free to PM me and I can possibly help out! You can run it directly as a Python script or use the Docker container. The Docker container is nice in that’s it’s all self contained (assuming you already have Docker set up), and is easier to run as a background “service”…

Does senselink work only for the Shelly EMs or does it also work for Shelly PM?

Hey @nancefamilytech - while it doesn’t integrate directly with any Shelly-specific API, if you can publish the power usage to MQTT from a Shelly you can do it that way. As far as I know that’s totally doable! I also recently added the ability to drill down through JSON that’s published to MQTT, wh…

Who can walk layfolk through the Senselink installation and making Shelly EM devices report through Sense? Maybe there’s a Youtube video I’m missing? I’ve successfully assembled and installed some Shelly EMs, installed my own Sense device, and use Home Assistant in a fairly primitive way, but I’m …

If you have Home Assistant then you can use the integration: Emulated Kasa - Home Assistant which directly uses SenseLink. You have to configure it in the configuration.yaml, but it’s pretty easy

I appreciate that. I can’t figure out how to get the repository installed through HACS custom repositories. I’m an Amateur, apparently. I’m there at the github emulated_kasa page. Maybe I don’t know how to correctly enter a Repo path?
