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

[Admin]

With OpenSprinkler you can easily switch devices that have an HTTP interface and can be reached via WLAN.

Provided, of course, that the device can be controlled directly via HTTP commands. Pure “cloud” sockets do not work or would 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 they 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 connected to the WLAN, you will need its IP address. In the Shelly APP, select the device and open the “Device information”. Here the IP address is behind “DEVICE IP”.

3. Open the OpenSprinkler APP. Select a free zone (using the gear on the right), click “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 as “DEVICE IP” in point 2.

Very important: The “On Command” and “Off Command” must be entered EXACTLY as shown, i.e. everything in lower case! 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 “Disable” and “Sequential”.

Now you can use this zone like any other. If you connect a pump here, you can also configure it as the main irrigation zone, which is then automatically activated before each irrigation.

Now NEW in the OpenSprinklerShop: The OpenSource WLAN socket DeLOCK 11826 and 11827 (with additional energy monitoring)

Available here in the shop

Configuration and usage see this post.

IMPORTANT: When using for a pump, you should program a maximum run time for the outlet. Shelly and DeLOCK have corresponding functions for this.

This is a wonderful opportunity to use the OpenSprinkler in even more ways.

However, I have a small question about this: what is the configuration if the Shelly has a “Restrict Login”?

According to the Shelly forum you have to put “user:password@” in front of the IP. Unfortunately I'm not able to do this.

I would be very grateful for help.

Hi,
Is there now a solution to the problem with the “Restrict Login” on Shelly?
The entry here is a bit older and unfortunately I couldn't find any current information about it.

Best regards
Merlin
