> Driver configuration

Ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the driver from: https://www.intrinsicdev.com/

> Device setup

Before attempting integration onto an RTI system, fully configure your Shelly devices using the Shelly app. Ensure that you have verified the functionality before proceeding.

Shelly devices must be on same network as the RTI Processor.

Intrinsic Multicast Driver required. Please add the separate comms driver, ‘Intrinsic Multicast Driver’ to the project along with this ShellyPlusSense Driver and follow the configuration process steps below. Further info can be found in the Intrinsic Multicast Driver documentation.

> Configuration Process

1. Download the latest version of the drivers from www.intrinsicdev.com

2. Place the .rtidriver files in your designated custom driver directory. This can be identified in Apex by clicking Options > Set Directories.

3. Import the drivers into your project.

4. In Intrinsic Multicast Driver - Driver Properties - Multicast Settings:

a) Group Address and Port - NOT REQUIRED - Leave as default (224.0.1.187:5683).

b) Communication Style - Global Data Line Enabled – NOT REQUIRED - Leave as disabled. Unless required for other Multicast driver in project.

c) Number of Connections - Set the number of Shelly i4s in the project. Input fields will appear in the Monitored IPs section.

d) Monitored Ips – Enter IP Address and Label.

e) Number of Addresses to Ignore NOT REQUIRED - Leave as 0 unless an address on network needs to be ignored / blocked from interfering with this driver or others in the system.

5. In ShellyPlusSense - Driver Properties:

a) Shelly Sense Device - Link IP Address to Intrinsic Multicast Driver. Select input field (“Not Set”), Intrinsic Multicast Driver -> Device IPs -> IP Address [1-50].

b) Manually enter Device Name and Input [1-4] Names.

6. Multicast Mapping

a) Link Group Address to Intrinsic Multicast Driver. Select input field (“Not Set”),

Intrinsic Multicast Driver -> Multicast Connection -> Group Address.

b) Link Port to Intrinsic Multicast Driver. Select input field (“Not Set”),

Intrinsic Multicast Driver -> Multicast Connection -> Port.

c) Link Multicast Data RX to Intrinsic Multicast Driver. Select Input field (“Not

Set”), Intrinsic Multicast Driver -> Multicast Data -> Multicast Data RX [1-50].

d) Only if required - Enable Map Ignored Addresses and complete mapping

process to pull in addresses set in Intrinsic Multicast Driver that are to be

ignored by this driver – see Intrinsic Multicast Driver documentation for more

information.

Ip Address and Multicast Data RX number should match declared IP Address number position in Intrinsic Multicast Driver – Monitored IPs. Use Label to help.

Tested on:

Integration Designer – 11.8

XP Processor Model: XP-3

XP Processor Firmware: 24.3.29

Debug – Enter processor IP Address into browser. Click SYSTEM LOG then under Log Levels set ShellyPlusSense to Messages for highest level of tracing from the driver.

> Driver Behaviours

This Driver has no commands / functions. The Driver reads successful inputs sent to a Shelly i4 and provides Events for both Input Modes which can be used for further RTI automation.

Switch Mode – “Input [1-4] Switch State” – Fires upon change from True to False.

Button Mode – “Input [1-4] Single Push” – Fires upon reading Single Push. Includes DOWN and UP. Order = DOWN -> UP -> SINGLE.

Button Mode – “Input [1-4] Double Push” – Fires upon reading Double Push. Includes DOWN and UP. Order = DOWN -> UP -> DOWN -> UP -> DOUBLE.

Button Mode – “Input [1-4] Triple Push” – Fires upon reading Triple Push. Includes DOWN and UP. Order = DOWN -> UP -> DOWN -> UP -> DOWN -> UP -> TRIPLE.

Button Mode – “Input [1-4] Long Push” – Fires upon reading Long Push. Includes DOWN and UP. Order = DOWN -> LONG -> UP.

The Driver will check every hour after initialisation to make sure the Shelly i4 RPC over UDP settings have not changed to another destination address. If they have, the driver will force the i4 to change back to the declared address and port set in Intrinsic Multicast Driver. The driver will reboot the Shelly i4 device automatically and regain correct connections.

‘Input [1-4] Switch State’ Boolean Variable is only available for inputs currently set to Switch mode. This is set via the Shelly i4 web interface or App. The Boolean variable could be used to achieve dynamic visuals on panels, e.g. apply to ‘Reversed’ to change an icon from green to red upon activation of physical button wired to Shelly i4.

Similarly, as all Events are available for each of the 4 inputs via Driver Events, make sure that the input has been set to the correct desired Input Mode via Shelly’s web interface or App so that the correct Event firing is read in your automation.

Check logs - RTI Diagnostics to view clear print out notifications of Events Firing for each of the different types of inputs for Button Mode or when the SWITCH Event fires for ‘Input [1-4] Switch State’ changing from true to false for Switch Mode.

For example:

------ 1 ------ SWITCH Event Fired ----- 1 -------

------ 2 ------ TRIPLE Event Fired ----- 2 -------

------ 4 ------ SINGLE Event Fired ----- 4 -------

------ 3 ------ LONG Event Fired ----- 3 -------

1 – 4 showing which Input is being fired.

Alternatively, you could map the string variable ‘Input [1-4] Mode’ to a panel to confirm current Input Mode for the input and ‘Input [1-4] Switch State’ Boolean variable to a reversible button to show the Switch state changing from true to false.

> Troubleshooting

Check for Shelly Firmware update - 1.0.3 or later.

Make sure ShellyPlusSense Driver is correctly linked to Intrinsic Multicast Driver. See Intrinsic Multicast Driver documentation for more information. Successful mapping results in identical text on both sides of Driver Properties page.

Driver takes roughly 30 seconds to 1min after start-up before Events will start to fire (tested on Xp-3 processor).
