Bug: Bot not working anymore under 1.0.0 about homebridge-switchbot

[donavanbecker]

@yjeanrenaud perfect! I have release v1.0.1

[donavanbecker]

You have "hide_device": true, if you want it to be displayed I. HomeKit you will need to uncheck or make that false.

[BigKrisch]

I get the same error message with the bots even though hide_device is set to false.
However, the error only occurs with the bots. The curtains work perfectly.

yes because otherwise hb crashes.

@donavanbecker nope still nothing

[donavanbecker]

[donavanbecker]

@adamrzanek from the logs it looks like there are no devices in your SwitchBot account (opentoken), also have you enabled Cloud Service?

[adamrzanek]

@donavanbecker I was asking in other threat that I want to use my bot without the hub with rpi only - like I can with other plugin. Don’t know how to enable cloud service without the hub

With Beta 3 I have things working again. I'm not sure if it was purely beta 3 or the changes I made to my config adding this:

            "devices": [
                {
                    "deviceId": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
                    "hide_device": false,
                    "deviceType": "Bot",
                    "ble": false,
                    "bot": {
                        "mode": "switch",
                        "switch": true,
                        "deviceType": "outlet"
                    }
                }

[adamrzanek]

@donavanbecker I didn’t know that I had to add the bot to my “switchbot home”. But I can’t enable cloud service because I don’t have hub

[ex725]

how do i use bot without hub
as in this plugin

[sshinnawy]

I am having the same issue. Did anyone find a fix?

@sshinnawy, Which issue are you referring too?

[yjeanrenaud]

@yjeanrenaud @nyjklein @adamrzanek, can you try Beta:

beta 3 does not crash my hb, but I get
[14/11/2021, 23:26:32] [SwitchBot] Failed to Discover Devices. "Request failed with status code 401"
even though the token is correct.

[yjeanrenaud]

never mind. for some reason, the hub mini was removed from my profile in the Switchhub app and therefore no cloud connection was available anymore. weird

[yjeanrenaud]

so to make this clear: the auth issue was not related to beta 3. beta 3 indeed solves the issue with the Bot crashing all the homebridge

[donavanbecker]

how do i use bot without hub as in this plugin

ewebdev/homebridge-switchbot-ble#readme

Enable BLE for the device you want to use BLE on.

[donavanbecker]

You will have to open up an issue so I can get more info of your setup.
