Connecting a Shelly Plug to Home Assistant

In this video I show how I added two Shelly Plugs into my Home Assistant setup so I can ultimately track how much energy my friend and freezer consume.
I've done a few voice overs in this video, so it dies sounds very different in parts of the video. Hopefully it's not terrible!
If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. If you found this useful, please like the video.

Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to control the RGB ring from Home Assistant?

[@tomasmcguinness]

No, I don’t believe so. I think you can flash the firmware on the unit, but the standard firmware doesn’t support it.

Hello Tomas, does shelly plugs allow automated schedules when on or off? As no where mention of this feature on shelly website

[@tomasmcguinness]

Absolutely. It's not something I've used myself, but for this UK version, you can read more here - kb.shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/shelly-plus-plug-uk-device-smart-control#ShellySmartControlguidecommonparts-Schedule

How quick can you set the refresh rate for this in home assistant to get accurate readings.

[@tomasmcguinness]

I don’t know the answer to that I’m afraid. I think it pushes the changes as they happen, but can’t confirm.

I'd like to know this too. Wondering what the polling rate is
