Shelly-homekit: Default ON, OFF or last state at device start

Created on 5 Mar 2020  Â·  14Comments  Â·  Source: mongoose-os-apps/shelly-homekit

Hi there, thank for for the homekit support. I would like to have a configurable default state when the Shelly powers up, preferably configurable through the web interface (not sure if something is possible at all in homekit). It would be great if I can have the Shelly either ON, OFF or at the last state before it rebooted (lost power) on a new start up. Thank you!

enhancement good first issue help wanted

The persistant state is nice, but I have a pump for example, which after a powerloss should be ON for a few minutes, regardless if it was ON or OFF before.

kind of already is "persist sate" that will return the device to previous state after power cycle.

this can be closed now ?

@one4many that may be beyond what a simple switch like shelly can be expected to do. does the stock firmware support this use case?

can it be set to On on power back? ( similar to the stock firmware )

what ever the state was before power cycle it will return to that state.

i.e. if it was ON, after a power cycle it will return to ON.

I know but is there a way it can be set to On only?

it's a good idea to implement it. convert current "Persist state" checkbox into a select "State on power-up", with "on", "off", "previous" and "input".

This would help me a lot in my setup I'm not using the sw wire ( have a 4 switch setup will endup laying alot of wires to the lights ), if the state was On, i will not have to lay another wire for the switch port in case someone switches it off and then on again

This is what I am looking for 'on' / 'off' / 'previous' / 'input'

until this is resolved i switched back to stock firmware and used Homebridge ( installed on a Synology NAS at home ) its working like a charm.

@rojer could 'persist_state' be changed to a menu option like 'in_mode'

0 = always off after power cycle
1 = always on after power cycle
2 = remember previous state

this coupled with the pull request for 'auto power off' could do what people are seeking ?

@andyblac this is exactly what i proposed, plus the "input" choice, which would take input value.

released in 1.8.0
