Switchbot component very slow

Third party integrations
1

I added two switchbots and it works fine with the mac adresses found in their app. In that same app the response is almost instantaneous with <1 second before it is triggered.

With the component it can take up to 30 second before the action is triggered. After that first press (either a restart or longer time between use) it is quite fast and no issue. Range is not a problem and within 20-30 cm of each other.

Any suggestion what to try?

Enable debug logging for the switchbot library and check the logs.

Thanks!

Getting this:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It does eventually work which is strange, right?

Did you manage to find any answers to this?

Mine just seems very unreliable?? I get the same code as you posted.

I moved it to a separate Raspberry Pi I think and worked ok since…

6

Did you connect it to the bluetooth of your raspberry?

As in you moved your HA instance to different hardware?
