I’m not sure about parsing out the responses from a sensor, but controlling the relays should work just fine. They have a document for some of the devices here that shows the simple commands that you could use. It would be easy to make pseudo units with the requests to the devices in the on and off scripts and then it would just work like everything else.<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://www.shelly.com/documents/developers/ddd_communication.pdf" class="">https://www.shelly.com/documents/developers/ddd_communication.pdf</a><br class=""><br class="">For sensors you may have to resort to their MQTT implementation which SHOULD be able to work with the XTension MQTT plugin.
