    Allows for multiple SwitchBot bots and curtains to be controlled via MQTT sent to ESP32. ESP32 will send BLE commands to switchbots and return MQTT responses to the broker. Also supports Temperature, Motion, Contact sensors

  • My dehumidifier. It works well, but the humidistat built into it is incredibly poorly designed and will cycle the unit on and off in short bursts (which will kill it). I went so far as to try to disassemble it so that I could access the control panel to rig up something to control it with remotely, but it was riddled with hidden screws and I couldn't figure out how to get it apart. I ended up slapping a Switchbot on it to press the power button and driving it from Home Assistant to turn it on and off based on proper humidity sensors, but the Switchbot is Bluetooth based and itself kind of a pain to control. I got it working with HA courtesy of an open source bridge software (link) but the Switchbot seems to be fundamentally a bit flaky on receiving commands. It also doesn't track state, so I had to rig up something to track the on/off state but it frequently gets out of sync due to the aforementioned flakiness.
