I can not see my Shelly 1 plus to add to my account. I red stuff about it on this blog but can not find the correct steps. Something about a channel and decimals. After 30 min of scrolling I am forced to ask it again. Sorry for that. The Shelly’s are shown in the own app.

When I put them on cloud on it works. But after certain time (the Shelly app) tells me that these Shelly’s are offline and pop up online after a few secondes but the cloud setting is back to disabled.

What do I need to do? I think that that solution is also the solution to add them to my homey.

Read the instructions from the first post. You need to keep the device awake during pairing.

Hi, pretty sure you‘ve been asked a few times: is it possible to add the info about „percentage closed“ (100%: fully open; 0%: fully closed) to a shelly 2.5 roller shutter‘s tile as a kind of status info? Brgds

Reboot Homey, reboot the motion sensor and try again withing 3 minutes after rebooting the motion sensor.

Dear @Phuturist,

I use several Shelly H&Ts like this:

 ![Shelly H&T](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aa8ce327b206fa70ad12b64049f9bc07b8d00b06.jpeg)

I need to make two Flows:

- one that detects the temperature;
- one that detects the humidity.

Which card should I use and how? You see:

_Sorry, but I’m not very experienced with Homey Pro…_ 🤦‍♂️

I await your instructions, _ **thank you very much!** _

You need to use the trigger cards in the “When” column with the right action to trigger a flow when humidity or temperature has changed.

Dear @Phuturist,

unfortunately I don’t know how to do what you explained to me; can you give me two example screenshots for the 2 Flows I have to make?

So:

- one that detects the temperature;
- one that detects the humidity.

Of the four cards (for Shelly H&T):

- Send command
- Switch echo mode to
- Firmware updates
- Reboot devices

I think I have to use “Send command”, but I don’t know how.

I tried like this:

 ![Flow #2 - Shelly H&T](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5b20d5797d1eb54319ecda354b70bb24740bcc3a.png)

but I can’t discriminate between temperature and humidity; the two Flows should detect the values of Shelly H&T.

_ **Please** _, can you give me one, or more, example screenshots?

_ **Heartfelt thanks** _, see you soon!

No, I don’t use Homey myself. But you this is basic understanding of how Homey (and all smarthome controllers in general) work and not really related to the Shelly app. You should read the manual first.

Or perhaps someone else is willing to explain these basics to you.

A small tip, your flow should start with the ”temperature has changed" trigger card. There is a token on the card with the changed value allowing you to interact with and perform the action you want (which is still not clear to me).

Dear @Phuturist,

I’m definitely not a big Homey Pro expert, _but I’ve done a lot of Flows already_.

If I encounter these difficulties, don’t you think it depends – _ **also** _ – on who designed the Shelly application for Homey Pro?  
It would have been enough to add to the **4 Cards** for “Shelly H&T” another **2 Cards** such as:

- **Detects the temperature**
- **Detects humidity**

**This would have made life easier for many Homey Pro users!**

I am **disabled** and I type every letter, spaces included, holding a marker between my teeth; _and therefore I find it quite difficult to write, moreover, in a language that I don’t know very well…_  
I will still follow your advice: I will ask for help through another topic.  
However, I will put the link to your advice so _that the members of the Forum_ do not advise me to address me at You _(as would be logical)_, to this **[APP][Pro&Cloud] Shelly**.

You’ll certainly share a Homey with other people, but a Shelly App Technician certainly wouldn’t have crashed the system if he had created a Flow, taken screenshots and then deleted that same Flow; _ **do not you think?!** _

_ **Anyway thanks for the precious support!** _

I really think you are still missing the basis understanding on how this works. Flows are triggered by an event like a change in temperature. So there is a trigger card to start a flow. It’s not an action you can use to start something, hence there is no action card. These flow cards are added automatically by Homey for standard capabilities and it’s not specific to the Shelly app.

So I disagree that a lot of users would have found this easier. But if you really think it is, you should address Athom as they created this flow logic and these default flow cards, not me as app developer (even if you seem to think so).

And I’m sorry to hear about your disability but this does not effect how this works.

🤔 You’re not usually so reserved. Please help him with his problem. Unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue and I didn’t pay much attention to foreign languages at school, otherwise I would take on the job immediately.  
I always feel addressed when people need help. Especially for people with handicap, Homey’s help is very important !

Temperature and humidity and their changes are recognized by Homey automatically. So there is no need to create flows for this.  
The question is: What do you want to achieve?  
Because I have absolutely no idea what you want to achieve, sorry.

As @Undertaker already suggested, please open a new thread, because I guess also that your question is not related to the Shelly app.
