Howto:Integrating Shelly IoT Devices with the innovaphone Buttons App

DRAFT

Shelly, a European (Bulgarian) manufacturer, offers a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and actuators. This article will guide you through setting up and using Shelly digital inputs (contacts) to interact seamlessly with the innovaphone Buttons App. The possibilities are truly endless! Imagine triggering a phone call when a door contact closes, sending an instant message, initiating time tracking, or even setting up complex conditional actions. That's because the innovaphone Buttons App allows you to assign a series of parallel actions to any specific event. In this document, we'll walk you through every step of integrating your Shelly devices with the Buttons App. It's surprisingly straightforward - let's get started!

Introduction

This article provides a straightforward explanation of the basic concepts needed to integrate Shelly devices with the innovaphone Buttons App.

Please note: We are not Shelly specialists. For detailed information, consult the manufacturer's documentation, as well as the many forums and videos available online on this topic.

In this guide, we will specifically cover the integration of digital inputs (contacts) for the Shelly i4, Shelly Plus1, and Shelly Pro2 models.

While motion sensors and the Shelly USB dongle can also be integrated, they are not covered in this article. However, as Shelly products share similar characteristics, you'll likely find useful insights applicable to other models as well.

Each Shelly device comes with its own mounting instructions; here, we will only briefly touch upon a few key details.

It is crucial to read and strictly adhere to all safety guidelines.

These devices are typically powered by hazardous voltages (usually 220V in Europe). Installing a residual current device (RCD), also known as a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in some regions, upstream in the electrical circuit is highly recommended and, in some countries, legally required.
