My integration reflects the Bot status when it is configured in "switch" mode on the SwitchBot side. The SwitchBot API does not report any status (for either state and/or success) when it is in "button" mode, so that info isn't presented in my integration.
I do not know if @toffehoff's integration for the Bot behaves differently or if they are still supporting it.
I’ve read a few things about the IR devices. I use Switchbot to control my eufy robot vacuum, and although I have the Switchbot IR device driver installed it doesn’t seem to create it as an IR device, any ideas?
Does the switchbot API report battery levels for curtains? It would be great if I could see them in hubitat and add their tiles to my "batteries" dashboard. Also my curtains are all in paired sets so I'm not sure if that makes things more complicated since there'd be 2 separate battery levels per device in hubitat. I can check the levels in the switchbot app but it'd be so much nicer to have everything in one place in hubitat.
I have several IR devices. I used your IR driver and createChildDevices for those IR devices accordingly. But I do not see " infraredRemoteList in the State Variables section". It's empty! Should I delete them and re-create Child devices again? How can I get the SwitchBot driver to discover all IR commands for all the IR devices?
Download the SwitchBot app on App Store or Google Play Store. Register a SwitchBot account and log in into your account. Generate an Open Token within the app a) Go to Profile > Preference b) Tap App Version 10 times. Developer Options will show up c) Tap Developer Options d) Tap Get Token.
You couldn't have it installed, because I haven't written a driver for it yet.
I looked at the API reference, and there isn't much there in terms of status or commands. But it does claim to have webhook (events) support. It looks like at least motion events may be supported.
Are you using my SwitchBot Events app? If so, enable logging in the app and see if you can catch some events in the logs to see what pops out.
Alright everyone, I am brand new to Hubitat and this has been a fun process getting everything in and setup. @toffehoff you are the man for making this API and making it so easy. Your documentation is on point, I'm an IT professional and there are many software development companies that could learn from you lol. Anyways....
Question, I'm using the SwitchBot Contact Sensor, love the sensor and use it for turning on some outside lights. I was hoping there was a way that when I'm done with the outside lights, I could just hit the button on the sensor to turn them off, instead of doing the "exit" action of hitting the button and opening the door. Is that possible and I just havent figured it out, or is this a Switchbot limitation?
Don't worry @bulltipper . There are two drivers. I've made a very lightweight driver for the Bot device (which is the start of this topic). Separate to that, @tomw made another driver which supports many different switchbot devices. It is a bit confusing, I understand.
Regarding your question about the contact sensor, I assume you're not using mine, but the other driver. Therefore I can't answer that specific question.
Welcome to the club anyways
So that bring said, if switch not only allows to button on the contact sensor to be used as an exit, push button and open door, there's no way for me to just use the button as a button on the contact sensor?
Well this work with SwitchBot Tilt - the one that opens the blinds? I'm looking into this as a solution for automating some of my horizontal blinds. I have Alexa, but would love to use something that can be operated through Hubitat.
