I have bought a few switchbot sensors to try out as I do not have much luck with zigbee and z-vawe sensor and switchbot uses bluetooth
- remote - does not pair at all, but that is expected it is not supported SwitchBot - Home Assistant
- door contact sensor - missing button press action (although it is not reported in the switchbot app too), mission option to set distance it is sensing as closed/open, missing indiciation light setting
- occupancy sensor - missing sensitivity setting
Is there some other integration then the one listed in documetation that would add these options that the devices have to be configurable in HA? Ideally if it would add remote.
Anyway switchbot BT devices, appart for remote, do work over esphome bt proxy, so hopefully it will be more reliable then mesh networks like z-vawe or zigbee - no pairing etc.
It seems that home assistant uses this for switchbot
did someone already tried this GitHub - devWaves/SwitchBot-MQTT-BLE-ESP32: Allows for multiple SwitchBot bots and curtains to be controlled via MQTT sent to ESP32. ESP32 will send BLE commands to switchbots and return MQTT responses to the broker. Also supports Temperature, Motion, Contact sensors if it exposes more stuff then what native HA integration does?
Seems to at least be able to use button on the contact sensor.
GitHub - OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI-BLE: SwitchBot BLE open API …
Looks like i misunderstood how remote works, figures, it pairs with the hub …
looking at the esphome bt proxy traffic there is no packet from the device captured on pressing the button.
