SwitchBot Cloud
The SwitchBot Cloud integration allows you to control SwitchBot devices
Prerequisites
In order to use this integration, you will need at least a SwitchBot Hub and a SwitchBot account to get a token and secret key from the SwitchBot mobile app in Profiles > Preferences > Developer Options. If Developer Options is not present in preferences, tap the App Version (e.g. 6.24) several times (5~15 times) in succession to open the Developer Options.
Please note, device names configured in the SwitchBot app are transferred into Home Assistant.
Configuration
To add the SwitchBot Cloud hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:
-
Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
-
In the bottom right corner, select the
Add Integration button. -
From the list, select SwitchBot Cloud.
-
Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.
Supported devices
- Plug (Wi-Fi only, only available in Japan)
- Plug Mini, both the original and HomeKit-enabled
- IR appliances exposed through the different hubs:
- ON/OFF for all appliance types excepted “Others”
- Air Conditioner
- Meter
- MeterPlus
- Outdoor Meter
Important considerations
Each sensor will request a status update from the SwitchBot Cloud API once every 10 minutes (600 seconds). The SwitchBot Cloud API limits users to 10,000 requests per day.
For IR Appliances, the state is inferred from previous commands in Home Assistant and might not reflect reality if you use other ways to control the device.
