Okay so here’s the deal:
SwitchBot Blind Tilt Bluetooth Integration → Home Assistant → HomeKit Bridge
It works great in the SwitchBot app (updated to latest firmware here), it works great in Home Assistant however, in Apple Home, it works as expected in the settings page for the device in Apple Home, but not in the actual device page in Apple Home itself…
So it works when adjusting here perfectly fine, and as you’d expect:
But on this page, it never moves, no matter how you adjust the blind, the graphic just immediately snaps back to closed at the bottom. It never moves, it never updates, unlike in the settings page above, where it works great:
I have it export with the HomeKit Bridge integration in Home Assistant, with it set to ‘Accessory’ and ‘Include - Cover’ (set to the Left Blind device in HA).
I’ve tried:
- force closing the Apple Home app
- restarting the HomeKit Bridge integration
- rebooting Home Assistant entirely
If it didn’t work at all in Apple Home, I’d be less perplexed, but working on the settings page for the device, and not the main page for the device? What’s the difference between the two here that’s causing it to not work on one, where it works perfectly on the other?
Your help is appreciated!
