[Support] specify IP address of Shelly device

[vjirasek]

Hi, running the latest homebridge and plug-in.

My Shelly devices are connected to a different vlan than the homebridge server, for Security reasons. I know Shelly devices IP addresses and opened the firewall for the HB server to communicate to them.

Does this plug in allow me to specify not just ID of each Shelly device but also their IP address?

Thank you

No, it doesn’t. This is not a limitation of this plugin but of the Shelly devices. The new Plus and Pro devices do support it though.

Hi. I have Shelly 1 device, connected to IoT WiFi vlan. My iPhone is connected to House WiFi VLAN. The Shelly app can add the Shelly device as the firewall allows the connectivity. The device is also discoverable using mcast.

Same issue here. I'm running Homebridge on my Synology NAS with two network interfaces.

LAN 1 = VLAN 10 (default) LAN 2 = VLAN 20

My Shelly is on VLAN 20 but this plugin cannot discover it. Firewall rules are set and it can be reached. It would be great if you guys could add a device ip option.

I came over this topic today.

If you run in host mode, it should be possible to specify the outgoing Interface. Here you can specify the IP-Address from the NIC which is located in the dedicated VLAN (If you have one, otherwise you could create one).

With that done, the Plugin should discover the Shellys. (I will try that tomorrow and report if it works as expected.)
