I’m getting the same errors, but I have 2 switchmate devices configured. Hass seems to swap between which Switchmate it will connect to.

For the device that works, this integration is great!!

I have the same error on my original switchmate too. I think the original switchmate requires an auth code that you add to the yaml file. To get the auth code you have to use a program like node-switchmate which I couldn’t get to work correctly last time I tried. If/when I figure it out I’ll post the solution here. It will take me some time to get back to it though.
