integration: Follow instructions on the screen

[Bart56]

Feedback

Hi, After trying to integrate Shelly, it asks for "Host:" but it doesn't accept an ip address of the homeassistant server and there is no instruction as to what goes in there. It would help if this page contained a description and example of how to fill in the "host" field. The sentence on this page says to follow the on screen instructions but I can't make it past the first field. Hitting the "?" help icon brings me here which does not help me figure out what is expected. Thanks.

Version

Additional information

I simply get a "Failed to connect" error no matter what I put in there. I tried an IP address, a url, a hostname, no luck.

Hey there @balloob, @bieniu, @thecode, @chemelli74, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (shelly) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

Host is the ip address of the shelly you want to connect to, not that of your HA instance.

Thank you Klaas. I have several Shelly's. How do I handle more than one? Thanks Bart

You then repeat the same steps as you added the first shelly.

Ok. Thanks for making that clearer for me. Should I try to edit the doc page?

I don't think it's necessary to adjust the documentation for that
