Integrating SwitchBot Bot Through Matter fails for 2nd Bot

🧰 Built-In Apps and Drivers

I have 2 SwitchBot Bots that are Matter bridged to Apple Home through a SwitchBot Hub. The first one I paired with my Hubitat C-8 worked fine. However, when I went to pair the 2nd one with the C-8 I got the following error:

Pairing failed @ SendNOC with code 126 (Trying to add a NOC for a fabric that already exists)

Any assistance that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Never mind. This is a SwitchBot issue. While both Bots are bridged to Apple Home, both cards in the apple home app control the same bot.

You could bridge the switchbot hub directly to Hubitat instead with this:

[RELEASE] Matter Advanced Bridge (limited device support)

I'm a little gun shy to use the Hubitat Matter Advanced Bridge. I tried it a while back and it corrupted my hub to the point that my only recourse was to load a prior backup. :scream:

I have been using this for a long time and so has a lot of other users. I highly doubt the driver itself caused the corruption. It might have been some issues during the download. The version in HOM works great. Also, the developer of this driver @kkossev does amazing work.

It works great for the Switchbot application.
