Hey
I wrote this MQTT bridge for SwitchBot on ESP32
It works with
bot press/on/off
curtain open/close/pause/position%
meter temp sensor
contact sensor
motion sensor
ESP32 cost like $5-$10 Canadian on aliexpress. There are MANY options for ESP32 and they should all work. Most can be powered by 5v USB. They make ESP32 with onboard antennas (Wemos D1 Mini ESP32, ESP32-WROOM-32) and/or external antennas (example: ESP32-WROOM-32U, QuinLED-ESP32-AE). No soldering of pins needed for this project
I am currently using a Wemos D1 Mini ESP32 while testing but use a QuinLED-ESP32-AE as my primary unit because it has the external antenna and I have multiple switchbot devices now.
If you have a big house, place a couple ESP32s around the house = Full âbluetoothâ switchbot coverage far away from your smart hub.
If you have an issue with the latest code let me know or you can request specific updates or contribute in github
if you like my work please feel free to donate. Iâve got a kid on the way and it would help a lot
