Finding a device ID
A device ID of a next generation Shelly device consists of the model name and a 12 digit hexadecimal number (0-9 and a-f), separated by a dash (-), for example shellyplus1-c4dd57877294 or shellypro4pm-f008d1d8b8b8. Lower or upper case letters doesn’t matter.
Below are some ways to find out what ID a device has.
If you know the IP address of your device, you can visit the following URL in your browser:
http://<ip-address>/shelly
This page will return some JSON encoded data, such as:
{"name":null,"id":"shellyplus1-c4dd57877294","mac":"C4DD57877294","model":"SNSW-001X16EU","gen":2,"fw_id":"20220117-162816/0.9.3-g354c141","ver":"0.9.3","app":"Plus1","auth_en":true,"auth_domain":"shellyplus1-c4dd57877294"}
The device ID is what comes after "id": (but without the quotes).
If your device has been automatically discovered by this plugin, you can look in the Homebridge log for lines like this:
... [Shelly NG] [device-id] Device added
where device-id is the ID you are looking for.
You can also find the device ID in the Shelly app, under Settings -> Device Information -> Device ID.
Unfortunately only the second part of the ID is shown, so you will need to prefix it with the device’s model name. Here are the prefixes:
| Model | Prefix |
|---|---|
| Shelly Plus 1 | shellyplus1- |
| Shelly Plus 1 PM | shellyplus1pm- |
| Shelly Plus 2 PM | shellyplus2pm- |
| Shelly Plus I4 | shellyplusi4- |
| Shelly Pro 1 | shellypro1- |
| Shelly Pro 1 PM | shellypro1pm- |
| Shelly Pro 2 | shellypro2- |
| Shelly Pro 2 PM | shellypro2pm- |
| Shelly Pro 4 PM | shellypro4pm- |
