Getting the Shelly H+T to work with Loxone

[Techdoctor]

I was wondering if its possible to get the Shelly H+T unit to send Temp and or Humidity data to Loxone. 

 Since it only wakes up once an hour polling it from Loxone I would guess wouldn't work if its sleeping. And timing the polling to occur exactly when the Shelly device wakes up would be a nightmare. 

Anyone any ideas?

it works via a loxberry / mqtt / virtual input - this is the easy way

someone did get it to work directly, but it requires writing some files to the miniserver which will probably get damaged during an update of the loxconfig

Does the UDP method also requires to set up FTP writing etc? 

For some reason the VIU templates do not import, I get an error: 

[Duncan]

you dont need to use ftp for the udp  input

to get round the error above, you need to create the folder for the template to be imported (its missing by default) then perform the input again

the folder is VirtualIn  - thats Virtual In without a space

Aah, yes. I was testing this in my work computer, where write permissions are limited. Just imported in my other machine and all good - I already had the folder in place as well. Thank you for the help.
