Switchbot not working - still supported?

Configuration
1

I get the distinct feeling that switchbot is no longer supported within Hassio. Is there any way to find out if this is the case?

I’m having issues with mine. This is the error. I have no idea where to start!

It lookes like you have an entry ‘getServiceByUUID’ that is invalid but was previously ignored. Fix your configuration.

mac and string are the only valid parameters.

This is my config for the switchbot:

switch:
  - platform: switchbot
    mac: 'MY:NN:NN:NN:NM:AC'
    name: Boiler bot

Pretty sure that I’m not doing anything wrong there.

I do not know if it matters, but their example uses lower case letters.

Just reinstalled the switch, but using lower case letters for the mac (thought mac was case sensitive).

So far so good!

Still getting some errors in my log that it cant connect, but on the whole, seems more solid than it did before!

6

False alarm.

After a couple of restarts, I’m getting the same error again.

Shame - was working great for a couple of hours!

Just tried removing the name element too, but still no joy.

Getting this error on Hassio startup:

Something screwy is going on here.

I just updated Hassio from vsn 0.89.0 to 0.89.1 and switchbot is working again.

Just don’t understand what’s going on here!

9

A bug-fix in 0.89.1 likely.

I do not see 0.89.1 on the HA site.

Definitely there for me:

This is absolutely messing with my noodle!

Just did a Hassio restart, and the switch is not working again! FFS

I’m getting the same error message on startup as above.

Well - I’ve given in!

I used the switchbot to turn my central heating on / off. TBH, it was never particularly the most reliable even when it was working.

I went and purchased a Hive Active Heating yesterday. Hopefully this will sort it…

15

I am also getting this issue with my 3 switchbots. It is very frustrating. any solutions?

16

Unfortunately, I gave up on mine. Just couldn’t get it working.

17

Can anyone else help with this?

18

I also have the Switchbot hub plus. Is there any way to use my three Switchbots with Home Assistant using their Hub then?
