Add Contact and Motion Sensor Support about homebridge-switchbot HOT 30 CLOSED

Time to work on it... ha

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X Hoping to work on it this coming week

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X Yeah I have to look at the contact sensor again.

from homebridge-switchbot.

I will have to look over that. Sorry have been busy lately

from homebridge-switchbot.

Thanks..
beta.30 Curtains seems to work again. No Idea what or if it really was a problem with previous beta. I will have an eye on it.

Anyway, Contact sensor is still not sowing any changes.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X, once we get BLE support added into the plug. Then you would want to potentially set them to use BLE. Till then, I would update your refreshRate. They updated the daily refresh rate from 1000 to 10000.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X No I won't release a new version till v1.0.0. Which I hope to have out soon.

from homebridge-switchbot.

v.1.0.0 has been released.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X v0.1.1 should fix this, but you will have to remove the contact sensor from cache. Also remember this is all based off your refreshRate so until I add the BLE Function this will not work as well since it is relying on the API refresh.

from homebridge-switchbot.

Thanks. v0.1.1 fixed the contact sensor typ. However there is no status change at all. Not from the motion sensor, nor contact sensor. Not even after endless seconds and one minute.
Both sensors are connected to the hub and showing the status instantly in the SwitchBot App.
In Home/Eve App there is no status change at all.

from homebridge-switchbot.

I just noticed in the log.. for example Contact Sensor
"openState":"open"} but in Home/Eve App it is and was always closed.
With Motion Sensor the was no last movement logged in Eve App.

same here for the Contact Sensor. The Motion Sensor eventually gets triggered when I set the polling interval down to 120

@donavanbecker Any News? Anything I/we can help?

from homebridge-switchbot.

Hey @donavanbecker I hope you are well.
Because of the situation we want to write an article about the new SwitchBot sensor on SmartApfel.de an 📸@SmartApfel.de but only when they support HomeKit via Homebridge, can you estimate on when this will work or if it's even possible in the near future. We would make the publication of the article dependent on this.
Thanks in advance. 🙏

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X can you try the latest beta?

from homebridge-switchbot.

Thanks @donavanbecker
Unfortunately with [email protected] no success.
The contact and motion sensor are showing up but no status change at all.
I also removed them from the cash and restarted Homebridge but no change.
Also in Eve App the two sensors are permanently marked as not reachable.

@DJay-X You haven't even let the plugin refresh status of the motion or contact sensor. And looking at the logs the API says moveDetected: false so it will not change HomeKit either then.
You can up your refreshRate since SwitchBot have updated the daily refresh amount, and give it like 5 mins and as long as there is motion or contact sensor is open at that time you will have an update.

from homebridge-switchbot.

I didn't use the Config UI. So now it's added

"options": {
                "refreshRate": 300,

However, the contact sensor it not changing any status after 3 Min. open.
The Motion sensor is detecting motion and showing it after 3 Minutes in Home App.

As I understand with the Motion sensor, this is all what you get out of the API. Never instant reaction, right?

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X, just pushed an update for contact sensors, can you try the next beta?

from homebridge-switchbot.

[email protected] and beta.14

Contact Sensor still not changing any status.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@donavanbecker
Unfortunately even with [email protected] the contact sensor is still not showing any status change at all in Home. SwitchBot App is showing the change instantly via Hub/Cloud.

Motion Sensor seems to work okay and is changing status in the range of refreshRate 300.
However there is a info in the log.
[5.10.2021, 08:11:23] [@switchbot/homebridge-switchbot] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Motion Detected': Characteristic not in required or optional characteristic section for service . Adding anyway.. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

Thanks again for the ongoing investigation.
Unfortunately I'm only able to test today. Next chance is next week.
But happy to help to get a final 0.1.2 :)

from homebridge-switchbot.

With beta.18 contact sensor is now showing closed all the time. Before it was always open.
Motion sensor on the contact sensor IS detecting motion.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@donavanbecker /homebridge-switchbot v0.1.2-beta.26
I had to remove all SwitchBot devices from cache.
Motion from Motion Sensor and Contact sensor is detected.
Contact Sensor open/close still not working for me an no status change at all. Contact sensor is set in SwitchBot App to Installation "Door". But it doesn't make any change when set to Window or Others.
Is there anything I can do to help going to a final version? Please of course let me know.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X From what I am aware of there is nothing in the api that cares about window/door/etc, but I will check again.

Yes to fix another issue I had to change the way the uuid is created, which requires removing accessories from cache.

from homebridge-switchbot.

No worries. This is a beta so I expected to remove all my SwitchBot devices from HomeKit from time to time.
I take the hassle if it helps to bring the plugin to a final version and the contact sensor will show the status.
I guess others have the same problem with the contact sensor too, right?

from homebridge-switchbot.

@donavanbecker For whatever reason now with v0.1.2-beta.28 the curtains are not working open/close anymore. This was never a problem before.

Also no change with contact sensor.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X okay Beta:

should be working at least I can confirm for myself that it is working. when I opened my window, I have the sensor on, it said it was open and vis versa.

from homebridge-switchbot.

Great news and I can confirm this version also now works for me. Both motion and contact sensor are changing status after about three minutes.
I think this could be the final version. 😉

Regarding the practicality of the motion sensor only triggering after this long time there is no other way to show a status change faster, right? It's due to the refresh of the API, correct?

Thanks for your work and patience.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@DJay-X, okay the latest beta should support BLE for motion sensors. this is a huge change, you will have to change your config. so if you have anything in the options portion of the config you will need to remove it and reset your config.

I have created a device config section where any custom configs that you would like to apply to a device you must set for each device.

from homebridge-switchbot.

@donavanbecker Great news. Unfortunately I can't test this time. I hope someone else can help with BLE.
Are you going to make v0.1.2-beta.40 productive and the last final version? This is still 1.1.
Sorry again I can't help currently with BLE
