• Switchbot Hub 2 w/ Matter Arrived! Ask me Anything
  2 projects | /r/homeautomation | 24 Mar 2023

  I'm currently doing mt home-assistant x Switchbot with an ESP32 and this github project, but this doesn't support the lock and it also quite hacky (it's gone down a couple of times, and then my bathroom lights don't turn on anymore...)

• Switchbot + ESP32 + Beebotte?
  1 project | /r/homeautomation | 19 Mar 2023

  I've recently bought a Switchbot and would like to use it remotely. Since I don't want to invest in an additional Switchbot hub, I searched online for alternatives and came across this: https://github.com/devWaves/SwitchBot-MQTT-BLE-ESP32

• Swtichbot temp/humidity triggers working for other people?
  1 project | /r/ifttt | 20 Feb 2023

  I used to use those every day and they were fickle and hit or miss when they were working. this is why I switched to an ESP32 and home assistant for local control and automation for my switchbot meter & bots.

• Smart home company SwitchBot’s new hub will support Matter

  I really hope this will allow all local control and it will be a day 1 purchase for me to replace my esp32 bluetooth wifi bridge

• What are the legacy ('traditional') things you wish you could control with more ease or at all?

  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.

  I don't know an alternative but you don't need the hub. There is an open source project which works with an unofficial API. Here you can find it.
