Im not sure if you found a solution but having recently solved this, here is my setup. This is working in HASS v2023.1.7
configuration.yaml
sensor to recieve the json from the API.
sensor:
#other sensors
- platform: command_line
name: 'Bedroom - Strip Light'
scan_interval: 30
command_timeout: 30
command: !secret SwitchbotLightCmd
value_template: '{{ value_json }}'
json_attributes:
- power
- brightness
- color
rest_command to accept the data to be sent.
rest_command:
switchbot_device_command:
url: 'https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.0/devices/{{ deviceId }}/commands'
method: post
headers:
Authorization: !secret SwitchbotAPI
Content-Type: 'application/json'
payload: '{"command":"{{ command }}","parameter":"{{ parameter }}","commandType":"{{ commandType }}"}'
light template.
light:
- platform: template
lights:
bedroom_strip_light:
friendly_name: "Bedroom - Strip Light"
unique_id: light.bedroom_strip_light
icon_template: mdi:led-strip-variant
level_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.bedroom_strip_light', 'brightness') | int }}"
color_template: "{{ states('input_text.bedroom_strip_hs').split(',')[0] | int}},{{ states('input_text.bedroom_strip_hs').split(',')[1] | int }}"
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.bedroom_strip_light', 'power') }}"
turn_on:
service: rest_command.switchbot_device_command
data:
deviceId: !secret SwitchbotLightId
command: "turnOn"
parameter: "default"
commandType: "command"
turn_off:
service: rest_command.switchbot_device_command
data:
deviceId: !secret SwitchbotLightId
command: "turnOff"
parameter: "default"
commandType: "command"
set_level:
service: rest_command.switchbot_device_command
data:
deviceId: !secret SwitchbotLightId
command: "setBrightness"
parameter: "{{brightness}}"
commandType: "command"
set_color:
- service: input_text.set_value
target:
entity_id: input_text.bedroom_strip_hs
data:
value: "{{ h }},{{ s }},70"
- service: script.hs_to_rgb
data:
service_id: bedroom_strip_set_color
h: "{{ h }}"
s: "{{ s }}"
l: 70
note: the “l” value at the end. Although not needed for the light the conversion script I made is general purpose and in theory could be used for other things too.
secrets.yaml
SwitchbotAPI: <your_api_key_here>
SwitchbotLightId: <your_device_id_here>
SwitchbotLightCmd: "curl -H 'Authorization: <your_api_key_here> -H 'Accept: appication/JSON' https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.0/devices/<your_device_id_here>/status | jq '.body'"
Helpers
input_text.bedroom_strip_hs
I set this up in the UI but its easy enough to set in yaml.
Automation
alias: Bedroom - Strip RGB to HS
description: Converts lights RGB value to HS for use in bedroom strip sensor.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- sensor.bedroom_strip_light
condition: []
action:
- service: script.rgb_to_hs
data:
inputName: bedroom_strip_hs
r: "{{state_attr('sensor.bedroom_strip_light','color').split(':')[0] }}"
g: "{{state_attr('sensor.bedroom_strip_light','color').split(':')[1] }}"
b: "{{state_attr('sensor.bedroom_strip_light','color').split(':')[2] }}"

When the sensor update it sends the data to the script.rgb_to_hs for conversion.

This script is for converting the hs color from Home Assistant back into rgb for switchbot.
script.bedroom_strip_set_color finally send the obtained rgb colors to the rest_command.
alias: Bedroom - Strip - Set Color
sequence:
- service: rest_command.switchbot_device_command
data:
deviceId: <you_device_id_here>
command: setColor
parameter: "{{rgb_color[0]}}:{{rgb_color[1]}}:{{rgb_color[2]}}"
commandType: command
mode: single
icon: mdi:palette
Dont forget to put you deviceId into this script. Scripts dont play nice with !secret.
Final Notes
- If you click too quickly on a new color or make too frequent requests you may get empty json errors in logs.
- If the sensor updates at the same time as a color is selected the picker will revert to the old color until the next refresh.
There are probably other ways of doing this but this worked for me. I hope this helps somebody.
