It started out as a grand plan, where I'd rather than have physical switches would use digital ones. I purchased three Shelly RGBW2's, as they are controllable through MQTT. Another sweet thing is that they can control four channels each - giving me the opportunity to control 12 light sources in total. Following my "Neaew - I'll figure it out as I go along" SOP - I am now stuck.
Through another thread here on the forum (http://forum.openmarine.net/showthread.p...3#pid11163) I've come to realize that the solution to my challenge is spelled node red.
The Shelly RGBW2 HAS a decent looking web interface which COULD be used - the problem is that it is one per Shelly, so to control my lights I'd need three pages open. Which of course is utterly unacceptable. (as seen in attachment)
What I am looking for is some kicks in the behind, some guidance, and help along the way to build a NR dashboard where I can control my ShellyRGBW2's with MQTT. Preferably I'd like a button AND a slider for each channel. I've come across this for the Shelly API: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#shelly-rgbw2-mqtt but I am stuck and do not know how to move on.
This thread from The Hookup is essentially what I want to do: https://github.com/thehookup/Shelly-RGBW2 (The second part - RGBW2 to control 4 different channels of white..) but it is for Home Assistant and YAML - which is ALSO out of my league.
So - hopefully, you guys see what I'd like to accomplish - anyone out there done anything like it already?
Thanks,
Ranur
