Switchbot_press won't load with HA 2022.07

[Jucgshu]

Switchbot_press seems to be broken as of HA 2022.07.

Thanks for the work on Switchbot_press.

Same here.

I just updated the requirements file, try to reinstall it. I can't try this on my own right now Let me know

[Jucgshu]

So I did reinstall it, and the errors are gone from the HA logs. But I still can't seem to get the integration to work. Nothings happens when I try to trigger a toggle action on my switchbots.

I did find that not-so-useful error in my docker logs though:

/config/custom_components/switchbot_press/switch.py:64: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Switchbot.press' was never awaited

[cagnulein]

sorry but I don't have time to check this, if you can try to debug it and make a PR will be appreciated, thanks!

[cagnulein]

also did you put this component in debug mode?

[Jucgshu]

I did try to enable debug mode by adding this bit to my configuration.yaml with no luck. Any clue how I can enable it?

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.switchbot_press: debug

I wouldn't know where to start with submitting a PR as I'm not a dev :'(

yes you did it right

I wouldn't know where to start with submitting a PR as I'm not a dev :'(

i guess you should roll back to the previous HA version until I will fix it (me and my wife we are having a baby so I have other urgencies right now :D )

[Jucgshu]

No worries mate,I can wait no problem. Take care of your family ;-)

Hi, I updated HomeAssistant to 2022.7.5 and switchbot_press was working good in version db5521b. I decided to update to dcf4cff and now switchbot_press doesn't work.

@cagnulein can you please for now revert the repository to db5521b untill you have the time to fix the compatibility issue. At least the integration was working in the previous version. Thanks EDIT2: don't mind I reverted the change in manifest.json to "requirements": ["PySwitchbot==0.8.0"] locally on my HA installation.

EDIT: I'm using Home Assistant Core 2022.7.5 with python 3.9. Probably switchbot_press was working for me as I still use 3.9

Hi guys,

Just upgraded HA to 2022.08.2 and everything works out of the box... without the need for switchbot_press to be enabled. The new HA bluetooth feature is really cool.

Should we close the issue?

[cagnulein]

So this project is useless now? @Jucgshu

[Write]

How does the new system work ? I'm kinda afraid to upgrade now

[Jucgshu]

@cagnulein I'm afraid it is, yes. At least for me.

@Write Well, it's pretty much all automatic. Bluetooth has been auto detected by HA and my 2 switchbots as well. I just had to name them, choose a room for them et voilà!

[cagnulein]

@Jucgshu No problem, it's better :)

[Write]

Holy hell, you weren't lying the new Bluetooth soft from HA is fantastic

isn't that lovely

[50494554524F]

So this project is useless now? @Jucgshu

no, new native support in ha has a big delay in excuting commands...

Switchbot smart switch toggle is not supported, is it? Therefore, switchbot_press is still useful since it was working.

Is it supported

True, after full reboot of the PI it is supported. Thanks!

after a year i upgraded the raspberry: os to 8.4 and core to 2022.6.7, started checking if all works... switcbot_press fails practically every time now (can't connect error from python 3.9 switchbot component); i have to use an external dongle (works perfectly).

anyone has this kind of problem?! is it a os, core, components incompatibility?!

Couldn't you at least read the entire thread before posting ??!

[50494554524F]

are you talking about your previous OT?!?

lol ok I'm sorry. Otherwise I just ditched this plug-in and there is no delay (5~ sec) at first I thought I had some but I used an extended cable and moved the dongle farther away. I always used an external dongle. I don't think it's worth to update this plug-in as HA Bluetooth integration work perfectly

can you try the ha native plugin trying to send more (toggle?!) commands in sequence and/or with a small delay in the script?!

any delay?! if all works, can you tell me what dongle are you using (i have asus bt-400)?! thanks

Well in fact I can only send in sequences.

And you can add delay between action with delay:

# ---- Automation ---- #
automation:
# 1st automation
- alias: 'Auto turn off cat feed'
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: switch.nourrir_chat_fakeswitch
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: switch.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.switchbot_chat
    #- delay: 00:00:00
    - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.nourrir_chat_fakeswitch

[50494554524F]

2022.8.5 native support improved a lot, there's still a little delay but it's worth to test in a real situation now...

[50494554524F]

2022.8.7 commands are instantly delivered to my bot...

(btw, i can't manage the bot with the raspberry bluetooth anymore... an upgrade messed up something)

[50494554524F]

after few days of use in a real situation the native integration remains totally unstable (development is still in progress) even if it is working for few minutes after rebooting... i'm reverting back to os 7.6 and core 2022.7.6 to use switchbot_press

[cagnulein]

yes @50494554524F same here. I updated to the 2022.8.7 and i'm using the native one since 1 1/2 week and it's mostly unusable. I will try to fix this repo for the new HASS version in these days!

[50494554524F]

thank you!

[cagnulein]

@50494554524F i didn't do anything yet, anyway i saw that in the last HomeAssistant update there is an update about pyswitchbot https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/78504

i don't know if this update is in core 2022.9.5, if it is in it doesn't work...

[cagnulein]

Yes 2022.9.5

Argh :(

[dfbg-eldertech]

Im currently using the newest version of HA and the native switchbot integration. It works, but only with on/off entities, not with press entities. Do you experience the same? I just want a press button and not an on/off switch...

[cagnulein]

hi @dfbg-eldertech i'm sorry but i'm not using this button anymore :(
