Switchbot Curtain

as a workaround - i might try and make my HA shell_commands read the successful "OK!"and try again on failure or at least show an error to the user.

I have updated the script.js to have a ok/error check via mqtt. Every time you call the bot, it will either have ok or error message output to mqtt.

From there you can create a sensor and use it to re run the bot if it outputs error. You will need to think how you can implement this check for all your bots. I was testing it on the bot device using script. Seems to work. The below script template will run 10 times or until until sensor.switchbot_status state is ok.

script.yaml

  switchbot_bot_enable:
    sequence:
    - repeat:
        until:
        - condition: or
          conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ is_state('sensor.switchbot_status', 'ok') }}"
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ repeat.index % 10 == 0 }}"
        sequence:
        - service: switch.turn_{{ mode }}
          data:
            entity_id: '{{ bot }}'

automation.yaml

- alias: 'turn on 24hr fan'
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: '05:30:00'
  condition:
  - condition: template # Not on Vacation
    value_template: "{{ not is_state('input_select.home_mode', 'Vacation') }}"
  - condition: template # Someone is home
    value_template: "{{ not is_state('input_select.home_mode', 'Away') }}"
  action:
    - service: script.switchbot_bot_enable
      data:
        mode: 'on'
        bot: switch.24hr_fan_bot

- alias: 'turn off 24hr fan'
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: '23:00:00'
  condition:
  - condition: template # Not on Vacation
    value_template: "{{ not is_state('input_select.home_mode', 'Vacation') }}"
  - condition: template # Someone is home
    value_template: "{{ not is_state('input_select.home_mode', 'Away') }}"
  action:
    - service: script.switchbot_bot_enable
      data:
        mode: 'off'
        bot: switch.24hr_fan_bot

sensor.yaml

  - platform: mqtt
    name: 'Switchbot Status'
    state_topic: 'switchbot/status/msg'
    value_template: '{{ value }}'
