When looking at Switchbot's site, it says it works with ST. Has anyone ported this over to HE?
I did not know this! Watching with anticipation...
Edit- from what I can see is that at present it's SmartThings via IFTTT
For someone to port it, the source code would need to be available. I don't see that for the ST integration (assuming it exists as its own entity and not via IFTTT; nothing I can find is really clear about this, either). Even better, SwitchBot should just create a local, documented API for their bridge, then someone could write a proper integration from scratch for Hubitat. As-is, I don't see either of those happening.
(Also, in before "but Home Assistant has it!"--it does but it doesn't really; they use Bluetooth and at least two third-party libraries to make this happen. I looked to see if they figured out some HTTP API or something. 
)
Can these things help:

definitely interesting. i'll have to check it out.
i wonder how it'll work with the hub as well. i am able to control everything over wifi due to the hub (and i don't have a bluetooth dongle atm nor do i have a port to plug it into right now)
