Long time lurker here but also tinkering with Venus OS on a raspberry pi a few years already.
I was looking for a solution to integrate a Shelly 1 wifi relay into Venus OS. I want to be able to turn on my heater from the GUI. Offcourse there is the simple option to use the Shelly cloud since I have a wifi network in my van this works fine, but I really want everything to be controlled from my VenusOS screen.
So I used ChatGPT to create this:
It works flawlessly!
Now you could install multiple wifi relais and controll them from the GUI!
Next step would by a dimmer.
Let me know what you guys think, I am not a real programmer, just handy with computers
As this could be considered a successful and constructive interaction with an AI for the Victron universe, could you please post the discussion/interaction with the ChatGPT?
In other words, could you show us what you’ve asked it to do and how?
I want to follow the way the AI has build the code and from where it took it or inspired from…
Its a lot of trail and error:)
First I asked about victron DBUS and started from there.
Essentially creating a DBUS service was not that hard. The hard part was linking it to the GUI relay
The hook is easy to make from the GitHub repositories of Victron.
I was much more interested in the “discussion” with ChatGPT.
I was thinking of putting it (exporting it) in a text file, zip it, and share it on a fileshare server.
