core: Switchbot integration error: failed to connect

Same problem here. Are there any other methods of adding Switchbot devices right now that anybody know of?

@RenierM26 Do you have time to add the new UUID so I can test it? Maybe we can fix/test it before the new release of HA?

Just tested this on the latest version of HA (2022.04.6) using Docker.

At first I was getting this permissions issue (we could make the docs more useful by suggesting rootless BLE access):

    raise BTLEManagementError("Failed to execute management command '%s'" % (cmd), rsp)

After updating my Docker compose (with cap_add: - NET_ADMIN) to allow the container to manage my Bluetooth adapter, I now see the same error message:

Can we add the devices manually through YAML still?

@Gibstick didnt post a hack, its actually PR that might fix the issue? Seems like Switchbot changed how devices are advertised: https://github.com/Danielhiversen/pySwitchbot/pull/48

Could this be the case and also the fix?

Ideally, this should be my last question. Where would I find the file?

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/switchbot/

I don’t have that folder.

how have you installed HA? If you’re using a python virtual environment the folder and file will be in the directory that you setup the venv.

I installed it on a raspberry pi 4.

I’m not sure if this is a related issue but my switchbot curtain was working great until I updated to firmware version 4.6. After the firmware update it lost communication with the device, tried deleting and adding it back but it fails to detect it now. I have two switchbot smart buttons with firmware versions 4.8 and 4.9, those both continue to work.

@robinvoor @Px3 - it sounds like you guys are running Core installed directly.

Have you had any luck with this proposed fix in another repo (obviously substituting Bluepy with the path to the HA binary)?:

IanHarvey/bluepy#218 (comment)

Another solution (and this just worked for me) - reboot the device running Home Assistant:

#60142 (comment)

Thank you so much… A normal reboot didn’t work, but in #60142 someone mentioned a reboot with unplugging the device HA is running on, and that worked!
