The MicroBot Push integration allows you to control the MicroBot Push.
In order to use this integration, it is required to have working Bluetooth set up on the device running Home Assistant. A MicroBot Hub is not required for this integration.
If you have multiple MicroBots, you need to know the BTLE MAC address of your device to tell them apart. If the MicroBot is currently paired to the Keymitt or MicroBot app and has not been renamed, the first 4 characters of the BTLE MAC address will be referenced. For example mibp(d206)
Please note, devices cannot remain paired to either app for this integration to function. They will be paired to Home Assistant exclusively.
Before installation the MicroBot Push will need to be in pairing mode. To reset; turn it off and on, wait for the LED to blink red, immediately press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the LED starts blinking red rapidly, and let go. The LED should now be blinking blue indicating pairing mode.
Installation is via HACS and then the Home Assistant Integration page. Devices will be automatically discovered.
Retry count: How many times to retry sending commands to your MicroBot device.
Note: In extreme cases, the MicroBot Push may take up to a minute to respond (depending on environment and how long the device has been asleep). Setting this too low may lead to connection errors. Setting a high value ensures that commands are received.Calibration - set the depth, duration, and switch mode (normal|invert|toggle). The Push will retain the settings locally so only needs running once.
Note: When running this service the MicroBot will push to the given depth to aid in calibration, but not necessarily for the selected duration. The setting is however stored locally on the device.
service: microbot_push.calibrate
data:
depth: 100
duration: 10
mode: 'normal'Pair/Repair (Generate a token). Required if the MicroBot has been reset.
service: microbot_push.generate_token
The MicroBot integration will automatically discover devices once the Bluetooth integration is enabled and functional.
"No unconfigured devices found": Make sure the Push is powered on and in range. It may be beneficial to wake the device before pairing.
