SwitchBot Entity

There are two attributes available on the SwitchBot entity to give you more information about your device.

  • last_run_success: If true if the last action sent to the SwitchBot succeeded. This attribute is useful for error trapping when Bluetooth connectivity is intermittent. If false, see home-assistant.log for specific error messages.
  • assumed_state: Always true. If the state of the SwitchBot entity cannot be determined, it is assumed to be on.
