Shello - native Shelly controller app

Applications
1

Hi there,
thought I open a new topic in hope of finding volunteers. I am working on a new app for switching and monitoring Shelly smart home devices over WiFi. It already plays nicely with 1PM Gen4 switches with power meter. Now I would like to get some real world feedback before publishing. If you happen to own a Shelly - for instance the famous 3EM or 2PM - and would like to share your experience with this beta version, kindly send me a PM. Looking forward.

Another native app, nice!
Does it also work offline, with e.g. www.home-assistant.io/?
Are the sources available?
Thanks

There is a shelly Integration for HA. No need for shello.

That is correct, if you already have home assistant up and running on a dedicated server, no need for yet another app. On the contrary, Shello is for you if you prefer a quick and simple offline phone-based control and monitoring solution over complex home assistant server setups, and you use Shellys only.

In addition to what @tp.labs wrote, Quartermaster, the native Home Assistant application for Sailfish, is not exactly equal to the official Android or browser application. It works okay if you have a few devices and to quickly adjust something, but if you have a whole bunch of devices, it quickly becomes cluttered.

Thanks for your answer.
I read HA was the “thing” to centralize controls but don’t own/use one.

That’s great!
And are sources available? I didn’t find on openrepos nor with zypper.

Is “Automations” managed by/in the app or is it supposed to set schedules in a device?

Hi kan_ibal,
as of now automations are simple timers managed in-app, this means Shello needs to run at least in background mode to trigger anything. Unfortunately, on my side there is currently not much spare time to implement new features, but feel free to add to the codebase.
