Wrong category in HomeKit

[kamilpop]

I use some Shelly 2.5 to control my window blinds. One of them is broken and has been replaced with Shelly Plus2pm. In HomeKit, this is categorized as a window (security) and not under climate (blue icons). For that reason I can't group the rest of the switches together. How can I change the category or type?

You need to update it's category.

1. Go to your device http://device.ip.address/shelly for example http://192.168.1.109/shelly find the device ID.
2. Copy it for example: shellyplus2pm-485512a1d321
3. Now go to the homebridge --> plugins.
4. Open the setting of Shelly NG.
5. You will find the Device ID field, paste the shelly ID that you copied before.
6. Scroll down and you will find the field Cover and Type.
7. Change from window to Window Covering

An alternative method is to do it in Configuration using code. Just change my shelly ID for your ID

{ "name": "Shelly NG", "mdns": { "enable": true }, "devices": [ { "id": "shellyplus2pm-485512a1d321", "exclude": false, "switch:0": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:1": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:2": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "switch:3": { "exclude": false, "type": "switch" }, "cover:0": { "exclude": false, "type": "windowCovering" } }, "platform": "ShellyNG" },

You are making the same mistake that I made XD you need to paste all code like shellyplus2pm-485512a1d321 and not just 485512a1d321
