I receive the following errors in the boot log of Homebridge: Failed to Discover Device

Cloud Services are enabled and I can control the device through Amazon Echo without issue.

I've reinstalled plugin and device to no avail. Do I have to do anything special with the mini hub?

Expected Behavior

I would expect the device to register

Seems like a network issue

Seems like a network issue

Maybe, but I can't find one. Homebridge and SwitchBot Mini are on the same WiFi and network. The other service (Amazon) does not have a problem. Open to any other checks you can suggest

[secj-eng]

Fwiw - I tried changing to BLE and am getting the same error. I can still control the switchbot through Alexa but not through Homebridge. I'm happy to troubleshoot if you have any ideas

I am having the same issues! Tried cleaning my cache and nothing.

Are your devices enabled for Cloud? In the SwitchBot app

[Niklas31]

Yes! Everything was working fine and nothing changed. Looking trough the other opened bugs, 4 of them are the same #757 #756 #753 #742

having same bug. all stopped working so i deleted and readded from scratch the plugin and re configured all but hoobs wont find my switchbot devices anymore. nothing appens in log

[donavanbecker]

HOOBs isn’t supported. So that could be your issue.

[francescosabia]

But it worked since yesterday!

[francescosabia]

Now magically it starts working again! All device are in my hoobs instance. Maybe network issue?

[francescosabia]

Now doesn’t work again! I don t think it s hoobs related. There is something wrong with the plugin itself! Because hoobs is the same than homebridge

[donavanbecker]

@francescosabia I am not going to continue to go back and forth on this but HOOBs is different then Homebridge.

If you choose to use HOOBs, I will not support.

[francescosabia]

@francescosabia I am not going to continue to go back and forth on this but HOOBs is different then Homebridge.

sorry, don't get nervous. i don' t understand why the plugin worked good since yesterday also in hoobs... i think that also people with homebridge are having problems.

[donavanbecker]

@francescosabia, HOOBs isn't support

[donavanbecker]

@secj-eng can you try the latest beta?

@Niklas31 please open your own issue.

[secj-eng]

@donavanbecker Sorry for the delay. I've moved switchbot from Raspberry PI to another Homebridge instance. It works there without issue, but I'll go back and test on Raspberry platform when I get a chance. I'm running v2.7.1 on the new instance, is that what you want me to try or the latest beta?

[donavanbecker]

@secj-eng Latest beta

[secj-eng]

I decided to flash and rebuild homebridge with the latest fresh raspberry pi homebridge installer.

I immediately get the following errors after installing switchbot using BLE.

[SwitchBot] Bot: Ent failed BLERefreshStatus with BLE Connection, Error Message: "Adapter is not ready: unknown" [SwitchBot] Bot: Ent wasn't able to establish BLE Connection, node-switchbot: [object Object]

running hcitool lescan I can see the bot

[donavanbecker]

v2.8.0 is released
