Shelly devices

Yes, they have a local REST API, https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/ And all configuration can be done in the built-in web server on the device, no need to use an app if you prefer not to (I prefer not to). I have around 30 Shelly devices and I have had very few issues with them. HA integration is great.

My go to IoT sensors and actuators are Shelly. I prefer devices which work locally (doesn’t require an internet break out to some unknown server). Sonoff and some Tuya can be hacked to make them work locally only, but it requires unnecessary effort in my view and knowledge of electronics/circuits and programming of microcontrollers. Shelly works perfectly well out of the box and support a wide variety of protocols. Many of the devices make use of ESP32/8266 chipsets so they are all very similar. …just my 10 cents…

Shelly, bar none. Affordable, completely local, built in web server, support for multiple protocols, including MQTT and HTTP GET and basically perfect support from Home Assistant. They come in wifi, bluetooth and z-wave varieties.

Shelly. Cheap, flexible and consistent across their whole products. Native, local integration with HA and they will still do local control if all connectivity fails.

I love the fact that Shelly lets you use their devices on local network only by default.

Shelly is a huge standout for being very actively friendly to Home Assistant, along with anything zwave or zigbee. The biggest number of devices from specific brands I have are Zooz zwave switches (around 50) and Shelly (30 currently).

… installed the latest HA on a RPi 3. This has been my experience with integrating them so far: Difficulty level (0 easiest - 10 hardest) and comment: 1. Shelly - 0, click and play, perfect 2. Airthings - 3, had to create and API key not to bad 3. Brother printer - 0 - click and play, awesome 4.
