Switchbot integration working well in a freshly booted HA on an Intel NUC but failing later

[marcgarciamarti]

Hello, I'm a happy user of this integration. It works just fine right after HA has been started but when the system has been up for a while (I really can’t tell when that starts to happen), the integration fails to trigger my switchbots.

Scenario:

• HA has been up for a while
• I click on any of my switchbot curtains
• My switchbot curtains won't react
• I wait some time
• Nothing happens
• I then restart HA
• Click on the very same switchbot integration
• The switchbot integration woks and drapes are pulled correctly
• After a while (I can't really tell when this happens) the integration will not work any more

And of course, as soon as restart the integration, it works again.

I'm just wondering if this is something which only happens on an intel NUC and the way it handles bluetooth. I would appreciate it if you could help me troubleshoot my system.

I'm using the Bluetooth tracking integration to track family members presence. Not sure if this could be problematic.

thanks

I’ve got the same plus the integration always reports open. Closing with the app and then opening syncs it up.

Same exact behavior?

Not exactly but it does seem to work after a reboot for a while and then doesn’t

I also have an Intel Nuc and for me it's not working at all. The Nuc is in the same room as the switchbot curtain, so range should not be an issue.

Did you add your devices in the yaml file?

@marcgarciamarti Yes. Now I tried with an earlier version of the repo (as per these instructions) and got it to work.

Quick update: I recently decided to disable Bluetooth presence tracking and so far I would say that the results are good.
