This device doesn’t have its own web interface; instead, it can be added as a BTHome component to all Shelly devices that support virtual and BTHome components. The readings from its sensors can then be displayed in the Home page of the web interface of the device it’s connected to.
Below is more information on BTHome components and how to add your Shelly BLU device as a BTHome component.
BTHome components
BTHome components allow you to create virtual/dynamic components paired to real devices emitting BTHome packets, such as the Shelly BLU devices. To use BTHome components, a successful Bluetooth connection must be established first. A message will appear informing you if the Bluetooth observer is disabled, as well as a button to enable it and reboot your device.
Once a connection has been made, to add a BTHome (Bluetooth) device, click on the + sign next to BTHome components. The device will scan for available Bluetooth devices, but you can click on the Scan button to scan again. Any found devices will appear below that button. In order for a device to be found during the scan, that device needs to be in pairing mode, which is done by holding down the device button. Another option for adding a device is using a MAC address. To do that, click on Add device by MAC address and enter the MAC address of the device you wish to add.
To add sensors, click Configure next to the Bluetooth device of your choice. On this screen, you can name your BTHome (Bluetooth) device, add an encryption key, as well as enter a Custom Icon URL to customise the look of the BTHome component in the home page. The encryption key is used for packet decryption and can be retrieved using the Shelly BLU Debug application.
Below the encryption key field are the supported sensors, which you can add by clicking on the + sign next to the ones you wish to add. Once added, a pencil icon appears next to the sensor and by clicking it you can edit its name, add a Custom Icon URL, or use the trash can icon to delete the sensor entirely.
To save your BTHome component, click on Save settings. To delete a component, click on the trash can icon above the text fields.
To edit a BTHome component, click on the gear wheel icon. You’ll be taken to its settings, which is the same screen as the one you see when you’re adding the component.
