Hey there @tschamm, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (bosch_shc) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

I confirm this as a missing feature, in the official integration the switch platform is not yet merged. If you want full feature support, please use the bosch_shc integration provided via HACS. Bringing all features to the official branch will take some more time (probably several months).

Have the same problem here. Because SHC works so great with without internet on HA, I was so stupid to buy a Bosch Smart Home Switch... but it ain't switching, only showing power use 🤦‍♂️

[tschamm]

The missing feature is implemented in https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/62315 Until then, you can use the custom component which already supports the requested functionality for the switch platform.

Dear @tschamm

I just switched back from HACS to use the official config (ik wanted to remove HACS to rule out some minor issue of something else in lovelace not refreshing properly). But I see the switch is still not active, while it should be implemented right?!

Would it be possible if you can take a look at this? Would it also be possible if the intrusion detection and smoke alarm being added in the official one? I'm also using these ones and I think they are a huge benefit for other users asswell. Thanks for reading!

With Hacs I do have these:

With the official intergration:

The PR is finally closed, thanks @epenet! With the HA release 2022.4.0 the switch platform will be available.
