  • There’s several parts to this.

    From your post it sounds like you’re using MQTT for the shelly devices and that the broker is separate from HA.

    • I assume HA can connect to and read from the broker? Maybe you have other devices already set up and working?
    • Do you see shelly data on the broker in any form? Does the shelly user have write access to the broker?
    • From what I gather, shellys don’t send HA MQTT discovery data. I think you need to configure them manually. HA won’t just display any data a MQTT broker has; apart from telling HA what data is interesting, it also needs to know the measurement units (and potentially error states or other info like connectivity) https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/#mqtt-discovery

     
    Now, you also mention ColoT. That’s only necessary if you use the shelly integration in HASS. It’s entirely separate from MQTT. You’d point the shellys directly to HA instead of the MQTT broker. It’s much easier to use. Maybe just switch to that since all device can see each other, anyway?

    It’d help if you included a few screenshots or diagrams of what you’re trying to do.
