Shelly Plus 1PM Mini | Wiring & Setup | Home Assistant Integration

A look at a new Shelly product from their new MINI Range of Smart Switches / Relays. I look at the Power Monitoring version, the Shelly 1PM Mini.

Shelly devices are a great smart home addition for automating lights and appliances. And they work fully locally! No need for the cloud if you don't want to; but if you do, then that option is available to you too.

It has the usual integrations of Google, Alexa, SmartThings and more.

Nice video. About the bluetooth proxy, keep in mind that the Shelly plus devices do not support active connections in Home assistant at the moment, it only relays advertisements (passive mode). Re-flashing with ESPhome also did not work on the Plus 1 mini PM.

Brilliant informational video. Especially for anyone that is new to Shelly! Keep up the good work!

I will be installing a 200 W LED lights outside. Will this support that? Or is 200 W too high for it?

Thanks for the video. I am interested in the pure monitoring Shelly PM Mini as I do not need the switch/relay functionality and am looking to monitor a device that should have peak power below 16A. A few people have suggested I stick with the Shelly EM + clamps as they think the Mini won't be comfortable with consistent load around 10A.

I got mine last week and added it to my 3d printer, so I can track power usage and turn it off remotely :)

I see yours came with the beta firmware too. There's an firmware update though.

Great. Intro music volume much better with headphones now 😂

Thanks a lot for that tutorial, very useful!

Thanks for making this video. I did struggle to follow the wiring instructions for the simple switch and I thought a close up would have helped. Surprised to hear MQTT no longer being used. Can you still use MQTT for other devices?

Hello, congratulations on your video. I can't add the new shelly mini and an addon for the shelly pm with a temperature sensor. I can't understand what the error is! Do you have to change anything in the yaml file or on the shelly device?
