[APP][Cloud & Pro] SwitchBot (Release 2.0.57, Test 2.0.60)

Could you try deleting the device and adding it again. I had to change a custom capability name as I chose a built in one by mistake.

That’s what I did. I will check it out, at this very moment the data is updating. :wink:

Hello Adrian Rockall,thanks for your great app!

Is there a way to use the buttons of the Switchbot hub 3 for trigger a flow or a device in Homey?

I don’t think it’s possible otherwise i trust you already integrate this function in actions card but i try anyway​:grin:.Thanks

Yesterday, Switchbot rolled out firmware update v20.16.16 for Hub 3. Since then, my Look pro doors have been closing on their own every 5 minutes. This is so annoying that I’ve removed the batteries.
Homey is not responsible for this; it is definitely due to the Switchbot Hub. For once, Matter is not the cause either; the same error occurs via Bluetooth. Unplug the hub and everything is fine. Therefore, please refrain from updating. The bug has been reported to Switchbot.
I do not know whether other hubs have similar issues.

There were/are several firmware updates also for devices available since a few days ago like for my Switchbot IR motion sensor. That I can say too.

I’m still testing the ESP32-S3-zero as switchbitBLEHub. Testing it also with different WiFi settings in my Unifi network. So to be continued…

Anybody else some thoughts/experience/review that want share about the ESP32-S3-Zero ??

But why I’m now writing is this : Apparently the Switchbot BLE Presence sensor “lightlevel” value is different exposed to the Homey environment than the Switchbot (Hub/Cloud) Presence sensor “luminance” value.

Because the hub “luminance” value of a presence sensor can be used as trigger as “when the luminance is above ….lx for …. (Duration in seconds/minutes)” or “when the luminance is below ….lx for …. (Duration in seconds/minutes)”. The “lightlevel” value of the same BLE presence sensor is not capable (yet??) to be ursd as such trigger above/below a certain threshold and for a certain duration.

The Switchbot Presence sensor hub values :

And its possible triggers including the luminance threshold values above/below for a certain duration:

And the same Switchbot BLE presence sensor:

And its possible triggers without the “lightlevel” value threshold triggers above/below for a certain duration.

Because these specific triggers became mainly as standard available in one of Homey’s Firmware updates for almost every device. I’m thinking that Homey basically didn’t somehow pickup the BLE lightlevel values as such usable/manageable and so doesn’t offer these triggers.

I’m honestly saying that nobody is to blame for this.

Just informing you and maybe :thinking: and really maybe it could be improved , I ‘m explicit saying improved and not solved because its not a mistake in my honest opinion, in the future.

By the way I didn’t check any other BLE value yet if they experiencing the same “discrimination” :wink: like the lightlevel and luminance value for the normal (=IR) motion sensors. Or the BLE ←→ hub temperature & humidity sensors. :person_shrugging:t2:

Addendum: I just took a look at the ‘normal’ (=IR) SwitchBot motion sensors and it seems/appears these haven’t these differences in triggers between the HUB and BLE versions as of lightlevel/luminance values (above or below for a certain duration).

The problem with the new Hub 3 firmware has been solved.
Simply delete the lock in the Switchbot app and re-register it. If you use the same name, you don’t even have to fix the flows in Homey.
