  11. Update on #ShellyUni #HomeAssistant integration. I removed the 12v to 24v boost converter because immediately after installing it, the battery in the solar power pack became depleted. I do still have the green sensor ground connected to the pressure sensor. That has made a difference, the sensor is now reading higher (by about 25%) and more stable. A new graphing package in HA is now showing full scale (0 - 100%) which is a more useful view IMHO. The 1-week chart shows installation of boost sensor and sensor ground connection, tank refill, removal of boost converter, recalibration of sensor voltage. Now it is a waiting game to see how this setup performs on more overcast and rainy days.

  16. Modifications complete. I also connected the Shelly Uni sensor ground (green wire) to the power supply ground as per the spec (was previously not connected since the pressure sensor shares the power supply with the Uni). So the combination of that wiring mod plus the 12v -> 24v power supply has made the voltage at the ADC read higher (as can be seen on the image). Now time will tell if it still drifts over the 24hr cycle. #ShellyUni #HomeAssistant

  21. Update on the water tank sensor #HomeAssistant project. It’s working OK, the #ShellyUni has been 100% reliable so far. There is some flutter on the voltage readings from the submersible pressure sensor, and I think that’s because of variations over time on the voltage level from the solar power pack. To address that I’ve ordered a DC-DC boost converter that accepts a 9-20V (solar power pack is nominal 12v) input and then kicks out 24v, which both the Uni and the sensor are OK with. Will report back when I’ve installed it! By the way I’ve temporarily turned off the tank refill so I can observe the voltage readings as the level goes down.

  26. Finally hooked up a Shelly Uni with a solar powered ‘game cam’ 12V PSU with a voltage (3-wire) pressure sensor (from AliExpress) into the water tank. Confirmed that the voltage at the ADC input decreases with lower pressure (~ depth) by raising and lowering the position of sensor in the tank. It remains to fully weatherize things and permanently attach the solar panel/battery pack to the tank, but the next step is Home Assistant Integration. #ShellyUni #HomeAssistant #AliExpress #WAGO

  36. Has anyone else had issues ordering from shelly.cloud in the USA?

    Ordered a Shelly Uni 10 days ago, the credit card was charged, then crickets. Opened a support ticket 2 days ago, they are "checking with the US team".

    In the meantime ordered a second from Ameridroid, which is out for delivery today. So, yay for that, but curious about ordering from the Shelly site and whether that is typically problematic?

  41. Finally got around to setting up the #rasperrypi400. I am running #homeassistant, primarily motivated to monitor the water level in our well fed water tanks (ahem, well pump controller failed and we ran out of water). It’s overkill for this application really, and I don’t have the tank level sensor sorted out yet (looking at using a #shellyuni) but having fun setting it all up!
