Overview Shelly BLU RC Button 4

The Shelly BLU RC Button 4 is a battery-powered remote control with four buttons using Bluetooth. Every button has its own output whose behaviour can be set separately. In addition the button value output indicates which button was pressed last.

Outputs
TA Button value Number of the button pressed last (1 to 4). The value is reset to 0 after three seconds.
T1 Button bit 1 Reacts to the first button.
T2 Button bit 2 Reacts to the second button.
T3 Button bit 3 Reacts to the third button.
T4 Button bit 4 Reacts to the fourth button.
BP Battery % State of charge of the battery in percent.
BA Battery alarm Is set to 1 as soon as the battery level is 10 % or less.

Parameters

MQTT topic Topic under which the gateway script publishes the values of this device. It consists of the prefix configured in the script and the Bluetooth address, for example shelly-blu-aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. The easiest way is to copy it from the MQTT diagnostics.

Type 1 Behaviour of the output button bit 1. Toggle flips the output on every button press. Pulse sets it to 1 and resets it after three seconds. Off and On send the fixed value 0 or 1 to the address on every button press, even if the value does not change.

Type 2 Behaviour of the output button bit 2. Toggle flips the output on every button press. Pulse sets it to 1 and resets it after three seconds. Off and On send the fixed value 0 or 1 to the address on every button press, even if the value does not change.

Type 3 Behaviour of the output button bit 3. Toggle flips the output on every button press. Pulse sets it to 1 and resets it after three seconds. Off and On send the fixed value 0 or 1 to the address on every button press, even if the value does not change.

Type 4 Behaviour of the output button bit 4. Toggle flips the output on every button press. Pulse sets it to 1 and resets it after three seconds. Off and On send the fixed value 0 or 1 to the address on every button press, even if the value does not change.
This device sends the state of all four buttons in one list. The gateway script therefore has to collect object IDs instead of overwriting them; the corresponding section must not be removed. The values of this device do not come directly from the sensor but via a Shelly device working as a Bluetooth gateway. Setup and the required script are described on the page Shelly BLU - basics and gateway script. In addition to the outputs listed, the command generate addresses creates an address named timeout. It is set to 1 when the device has not sent a message for a longer period of time.
