Trick No. 2: WLAN socket “Shelly” with OpenSprinkler switch

With OpenSprinkler you can easily switch devices that have an HTTP interface and can be reached via the WLAN.
Provided, of course, that the device can be controlled directly via HTTP commands. Pure "cloud" sockets do not work or would first have to be changed with a firmware update. See the TASMOTA project (https://tasmota.github.io/docs/)
However, this is not necessary for the Shelly sockets (e.g. Shelly Plug S), as these already have a web service and can therefore be switched on and off.
1. Connect the Shelly Plug to your WLAN as described in the Shelly instructions
2. If the device is now successfully in the WLAN, you need its IP address. Select the device in the Shelly APP and open the "Device Information". Here the IP address is behind “DEVICE IP”.
3. Open the OpenSprinkler APP. Select a free zone (with the gear on the right), then on “Advanced” and then select “Station Type”: “HTTP”:
Instead of "192.168.0.78" enter the IP address of your Shelly socket, which you read out in point 2 as "DEVICE IP".
Very important: The "On Command" and "Off Command" must be entered EXACTLY as shown, i.e. all lowercase! Note in the middle is the number zero.
For copy/paste:
relay/0?turn=on
relay/0?turn=off
On the “Basic” page you still have to deactivate the “Switch off” (“Disable”) and “Sequential” (Sequential).
Now you can use this zone like any other. If you connect a pump here, you can also configure it as the main watering zone, which is then automatically activated before each watering.
