SwitchBot Lock Compatibility?

[1mfk1]

Any plans to add the Switchbot Lock support?
I want it to automatically unlock when my phone connects to my home wifi.

I am unable to do this via IFTTT, Siri shortcuts, Google or Alexa.

Is there any way to do this currently?

Have you tried the plugin?

[1mfk1]

Apologies. I installed the plugin, and my lock did not show up.
I then read the documentation and saw that the lock was not mentioned so I assumed that was the reason.
But then I restarted the homebridge and the lock showed up.

I have a different question for you.
In the logs, I repeatedly see this error occurring:
[SwitchBot] Lock: Condo Lock failed refreshStatus with OpenAPI Connection

I have an automation that triggers from home assistant -> home bridge -> switchbot.
This automation fails to do anything 90% of the time because of this error.
Is it because the lock goes to sleep and needs to be waken up?

Do you have cloud services on?

[1mfk1]

Yes I do!
It does work 10% of the time.
And I feel like if I’ve recently interacted with the lock i.e. manually lock or unlock it, then it’s pretty reliable to use Home Assistant or even HomeKit to interact with the lock.

But if the lock has been left alone for a few hours, then HomeKit takes a few tries to make it to do anything.

Sorry I feel like I’m explaining this really badly.
Let me know if you were able to follow.

And when those tries are failing, I’m noticing a corresponding ‘refreshStatus’ error in the logs.
