New in version 2.2.1
Version 2.2.1. Fix: the custom name field for Manual/Personal/Physical button presets accepted too few characters — it now accepts more.
Hestia controls your Shelly smart-home devices (Gen2 and later) directly on your local network, over HTTP, through their built-in API. No cloud, no account, no telemetry: nothing leaves your network, by default.
Features:
* Channel dashboard with state and switch, at a glance.
* "On for X" timer executed by the device itself, fully autonomously (the phone can be turned off).
* Presence simulation: a script generated by the app runs on the device and switches on/off within a time window, with a random margin.
* Planning (recurring or one-time), with an optional power-threshold cutoff.
* Backup and restore of your configuration in JSON format.
* Optional instant notifications via ntfy (off by default).
Privacy:
* Communicates only with the addresses you enter yourself.
* No network discovery, no tracking.
* On Android 17 and later, the local network access permission is requested on first contact, preceded by a clear explanation.
Language: the app is available in French and English, and follows the system language (English by default, French if the device is set to French).
Independence: Hestia is an independent project, with no connection to Shelly or Allterco Robotics. It is neither commissioned, sponsored, nor endorsed by Shelly. No payment and no hardware were provided or lent by the brand. Shelly is a registered trademark of its respective owner; it is mentioned only for technical compatibility.
