Example switchbot mqtt config

[robbinonline]

Thanks for this script, I got it working on a ESP. Can you give a example how to add a switch into home assistant?

What is the command_topic and state_topic when I add a mqtt switch: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.mqtt/

and what to add by state_on / off when it only is a press?

i would suggest waiting a bit. there are working on an mqtt home assistant auto discovery feature. Then you wont need to integrate it manually. Check the pull request out here: https://github.com/devWaves/SwitchBot-MQTT-BLE-ESP32/pull/6

you can also use the alpha version from @HardcoreWR: https://github.com/HardcoreWR/SwitchBot-MQTT-BLE-ESP32

Until the autodiscover feature is ready to use, you can use my mqtt config as an example. Tested with v1.4 but should also work with v1.5.

    json_attributes_topic: "switchbot/curtain/curtain_bedroom_left"

  - platform: mqtt
    name: curtain_bedroom_right
    state_topic: "switchbot/curtain/curtain_bedroom_right"
