Learning Exercises

Beginner:
  • Read the device status and parse power consumption data
  • Turn the plug on, wait, read power — is anything connected?
  • Monitor voltage and frequency over time — are they stable?
Intermediate:
  • Build a power consumption logger — read every minute, track trends
  • Calculate energy cost based on Czech spot prices (use /api/v1/knowledge for price data)
  • Use WiFi RSSI to estimate distance to access point
  • Detect anomalies in power readings (unexpected spikes or drops)
Advanced:
  • Write a device script (mJS) that runs on the Shelly itself
  • Implement WiFi fingerprinting using RSSI + BSSID for indoor positioning
  • Build a predictive model: when will the device be turned on/off next?
  • Create an energy optimization agent that minimizes costs using spot prices
  • Combine IoT data with AETERNA knowledge base for cross-domain analysis

WiFi Triangulation Guide

The Shelly device reports WiFi signal strength (RSSI in dBm).
Use the path-loss model to estimate distance:

  distance = 10 ^ ((TxPower - RSSI) / (10 * n))

Where:
  TxPower = reference power at 1m (typically -40 to -30 dBm)
  RSSI = measured signal strength (e.g., -76 dBm)
  n = path-loss exponent (2.0 free space, 2.7-3.5 indoor)

With multiple devices/APs, you can triangulate position.
The /iot-lab/wifi endpoint provides pre-calculated estimates.
