homebridge-switchbot: Bug: curtains not updating

Describe The Bug

updated from 0.1.1 to 1.2.5 on raspberry pi: curtain state seems to be constantly updating on the apple home app. Curtain states seem to be VERY unreliable on homebridge. 9 out of 10 the commands to open or close won’t be received. Going back to v0.1.1 solved the problem.

To Reproduce

Update from 0.1.1 to 1.2.5 and back

Expected behavior

Showing the current state of the curtains and execute commands to open or close curtains

Similar stuff to #85. v0.1.1 works perfectly, and everything from 1.0 forward seems unreliable.

gvssr on Nov 29, 2021

Latest version works… flawlessly! I just tested it here. @dnicolson thank you so much, you’re my hero! And @donavanbecker thank you for being so patient with this issue.

gvssr on Feb 2, 2022

I tried version 1.12.3-beta.5 and it hasn’t resolved the issue. I’m fairly confident that the state and position are being set correctly from my testing, that doesn’t appear to be the issue. Even though you don’t see “Opening…” you see the loading spinner.

Maybe it’s a bug in the Home app that doesn’t show “Opening…” correctly with the addition of the light sensor, but @donavanbecker you do not see the issue?

1.12.2-beta.1: 1 12 2-beta 1

1.12.3-beta.5: 1 12 3-beta 5

dnicolson on Feb 4, 2022

@gvssr I can confirm your issue is different and it seems that it was introduced with 1.0.3-beta.5, https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot/pull/239 should fix it.

dnicolson on Feb 2, 2022

I can confirm that version 0.1.1 does not have the issue (although BLE was not working).

The problem appears to have been introduced in version 0.1.2-beta.1, it’s related to the light sensor. Removing the following lines in the latest code appears to resolve the issue: https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot/blob/dedabb43754f837c43d1d7ff3fbfc40e00d46877/src/device/curtain.ts#L121-L135

@donavanbecker can you also make homebridge-switchbot-openapi available again? There is a broken image in the Homebridge SwitchBot BLE settings that is hosted on GitHub.

dnicolson on Feb 1, 2022

I don’t believe it’s a Homebridge UI issue. In the Home app the “Opening…” and “Closing…” states never appear, it always changes immediately to “Open” or “Closed”. In Homebridge UI the “Opening…” and “Closing…” states never change to “Open” or “Closed”.

The homebridge-switchbot-ble works in both the Home app and Homebridge UI. Is it possible to restore the GitHub repository for this? It makes it easier to see the old code to fix these issues.
