Code can be installed using Arduino IDE OR using Visual Studio Code PlatformIO
- For Arduino IDE - Use only the SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32.ino file
- For Visual Studio Code PlatformIO - Use the src/SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32.cpp and platformio.ini files
Allows for "unlimited" switchbots devices to be controlled via MQTT sent to ESP32. ESP32 will send BLE commands to switchbots and return MQTT responses to the broker
- I do not know where performance will be affected by number of devices
- This is an unofficial SwitchBot integration. User takes full responsibility with the use of this code**
based off of the work from https://github.com/combatistor/ESP32_BLE_Gateway
Notes:
- Supports Home Assistant MQTT Discovery
- Support bots, curtains, temp meters, contact sensors, and motion sensors
- It works for button press/on/off
- It works for curtain open/close/pause/position(%)
- It can request status values (bots/curtain/meter/motion/contact: battery, mode, state, position, temp etc) using a "rescan" for all devices
- It can request individual device status values (bots/curtain/meter/motion/contact: battery, mode, state, position, temp etc) using a "requestInfo"
- Good for placing one ESP32 in a zone with 1 or 2 devices that has a bad bluetooth signal from your smart hub. MQTT will use Wifi to "boost" the bluetooth signal
- ESP32 bluetooth is pretty strong and one ESP32 can work for entire house. The code will try around 60 times to connect/push button. It should not need this many but it depends on ESP32 bluetooth signal to switchbots. If one alone doesn't work, get another esp32 and place it in the problem area
- OTA update added. Go to ESP32 IP address in browser. In Arduino IDE menu - Sketch / Export compile Binary . Upload the .bin file
- Support for bot passwords
- Automatically rescan every X seconds
- Automatically requestInfo X seconds after successful control command
- Retry set/control command on busy response from bot/curtain until success
- Get settings from bot (firmware, holdSecs, inverted, number of timers)
- Add a defined delay between each set/control commands or per device
- ESP32 will collect hold time from bots and automatically wait holdSecs+defaultBotWaitTime until next command is sent to bot
- Retry on no response curtain or bot
- holdPress = set bot hold value, then call press (without disconnecting in between)
- Set/Control is prioritized over scanning. While scanning, if a set/control command is received scanning is stopped and resumed later
- ESP32 can simulate ON/OFF for devices when bot is in PRESS mode. (Cannot guarantee it will always be accurate)
<ESPMQTTTopic> = <mqtt_main_topic>/<host>
- Default = switchbot/esp32
ESP32 will subscribe to MQTT 'set' topic for every configure device
- <ESPMQTTTopic>/bot/<name>/set
- <ESPMQTTTopic>/curtain/<name>/set
- <ESPMQTTTopic>/meter/<name>/set
- <ESPMQTTTopic>/contact/<name>/set
- <ESPMQTTTopic>/motion/<name>/set
Send a payload to the 'set' topic of the device you want to control
Strings:
- "PRESS"
- "ON"
- "OFF"
- "OPEN"
- "CLOSE"
- "PAUSE"
- "STATEOFF" (Only for bots in simulated ON/OFF mode)
- "STATEON" (Only for bots in simulated ON/OFF mode)
Integer 0-100 (for curtain position) Example: 50
Integer 0-100 (for setting bot hold seconds) Example: 5 (for bot only) Does the same thing as <ESPMQTTTopic>/setHold
Strings:
- "REQUESTINFO" or "GETINFO" (for bot and curtain) Does the same thing as calling <ESPMQTTTopic>/requestInfo
- "REQUESTSETTINGS" or "GETSETTINGS" (for bot only) Does the same thing as calling <ESPMQTTTopic>/requestSettings . requires getBotResponse = true
- "MODEPRESS","MODESWITCH","MODEPRESSINV","MODESWITCHINV" (for bot only) Does the same thing as <ESPMQTTTopic>/setMode
