Shelly Plug S (consumption (W)) with HWiNFO

[MiaSamenstroem]

Would like to read out the current total consumption at the socket (Shelly Plug S) in real time with HWiNFO.

How do I get HWiNFO to read Shelly's information (static IP on the network)?

We have no information about this device's protocol and how to access the relevant information. Does it have a web interface or USB perhaps?

 

[MiaSamenstroem]

It does have an web Interface (MQTT), yes

There is basically an IP and total Wattage on it

Maybe this site might help if someone wants to try. Have no feel for coding

For calling a device you need the device_id for that device. It is available

Soooo
how to get this information with intervall 1sec, into HWiNFO?

 

[Martin]

This is a quite high-level interface, not ideal for integrating into HWiNFO.
There's a possibility to use a custom user sensor to import data from other sources into HWiNFO. But someone would need to write a wrapper from its MQtt/web interface into the format (registry) for that custom sensor.
