The customized version of homebridge-switchbot
npm install @nzws/homebridge-switchbot


The Homebridge SwitchBot plugin allows you to access your SwitchBot Device(s) from HomeKit with
Homebridge.
1. Search for "SwitchBot" on the plugin screen of Homebridge Config UI X
2. Find: @switchbot/homebridge-switchbot
- See noble prerequisites for your OS. (This is used for BLE connection.)
3. Click Install
- ### If using OpenAPI Connection
1. Download SwitchBot App on App Store or Google Play Store
2. Register a SwitchBot account and log in into your account
3. Generate an Token within the App
- Click Bottom Profile Tab
- Click Preference
- Click App version 10 Times, this will enable Developer Options
- Click Developer Options
- Click Copy token to Clipboard
4. Input your token into the config parameter
5. Generate an Secret within the App
- Click Bottom Profile Tab
- Click Preference
- Click App version 10 Times, this will enable Developer Options
- Click Developer Options
- Click Copy secret to Clipboard
6. Input your secret into the config parameter
- ### If using BLE Connection
1. Download SwitchBot App on App Store or Google Play Store
2. Register a SwitchBot account and log in into your account
3. Click on Device wanting to connect too plugin
- Click the Settings Gear
- Click Device Info
- Copy BLE Mac aka deviceId
4. Input your deviceId into the Device Config
- ### If using Linux / Raspberry Pi OS
1. bluetoothctl must be installed on the device, otherwise it cannot communicate via Bluetooth. Enable it with sudo bluetoothctl power on.
2. If errors occur, while enabling it, restart the process:
- rfkill block bluetooth
- rfkill unblock bluetooth
3. Also make sure, that the computer can discover the SwitchBot device:
- sudo bluetoothctl
- scan on
This lists all discovered Bluetooth devices. The BLE address of the SwitchBot device should be included in this list, otherwise your computer does not discover it.
- ### If using MacOS
1. Manually grant Bluetooth access in System Settings UI for Security & Privacy -> Privacy to the node executable, eg /usr/local/bin/node
!Security & Privacy -> Privacy
(This is what is intended in documentation for the noble bluetooth package prerequisites by "Add terminal app", however for HomeBridge it is node that needs the permission granted, not terminal.
Without this step, then you will receive the following error when the swichbot plugin launches, which will cause Homebridge or the child bridge process to restart:
```
