The full story

The integration keeps a local WebSocket connection to each Shelly Gen2-or-later device and combines pushed updates with refreshed status data. It publishes measurements such as power, energy, voltage and current to emonCMS on a configured interval.

The author credits Claude Code while explicitly describing human specification, editing, review and testing. The source also credits existing open-source Shelly integrations for parts of the approach.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
