same issue

Same here but the position of mine are showing closed whether they're open or closed.

Also a separate error same as above but showing KeyError: MotionDirection

Same error here as well. Seeing a lot of error in Bluetooth callback messages like the one above. I do run esp32’s as Bluetooth proxies.

[jorgwolski]

Issue still present with Core 2024.2.1

Issue still present with Core 2024.2.1

Still broken.

[bdraco]

Unfortunately none of the maintainers have this device so support for it is not so great (and the library currently has no test coverage for them). dcmeglio is going to work on fixing this up. I also ordered a device for testing, but since I have no production use case for it so it would still be much better if someone who uses these devices on a daily basis signed up to maintain support for them.

There are a few outstanding issues with these devices: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/109734 https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/108087 https://github.com/Danielhiversen/pySwitchbot/pull/226

[jonnybergdahl]

I am a developer that have 2 of the Blind Tilt. Just tell me how to do it and I can help debugging/testing. Also - I am not a newbie, I had PR's accepted into core already.

It likely has to do with this merge https://github.com/Danielhiversen/pySwitchbot/pull/226

the problem is in the python library not the integration though so you'll have to fork it, and install this core component as a custom_component then reconfigure it to you new library fork for testing.

Looks like curtains and blind tilt share the same class? Before it looks like position had defaults, but now it doesn't. That might have be saving blinds since they share a class? Python is not my strong suit, so i'm just guessing at it.

[RudiP]

Same exact Error here. Same logs already provided.

[austwhite]

Just commenting as I have the same issue. Although the blinds do what is instructed, an error is thrown saying HA failed to call the service cover/cover_set_tilt_position."position" but the blind will move, but the status stays as "unknown" and the % open does not change. Only started doing this on HA 2024.2.

[willliamchan]

same issue here. bluetooth proxies + all 5 switchbot blind tilts having the exact same issue, it breaks a few of my automations because status is "unknown"

[dcmeglio]

I believe I have a fix, but I don't have a tilt so I can't fully test. I ordered a tilt for testing but it won't be here till some time next week.

If anyone who is having the issue knows how to ssh in to the docker container you could manually install the updated library:

pip install git+https://github.com/dcmeglio/pySwitchbot.git@cover_refactor

and report back if the issue is resolved. Note that until my PR is merged, updating HA will auto-remove the package upgrade and cause the issue to reoccur. If someone can help test this I think we can probably get it in the next 2024.2.X

Note: This requires the advanced ssh addon, not the regular terminal addon and knowledge on how to get into the docker container for homeassistant

[laskatj]

@dcmeglio I ran the install command from the console in HA container. Installed successfully, but still getting error below. I restarted the container as well and same results.

Did a docker exec -it homeasssistant bash followed by pip install git+https://github.com/dcmeglio/pySwitchbot.git@cover_refactor and a HA core restart. Blinds are still not reporting position. Error message as stated above.

[dcmeglio]

Guess I’ll need to wait till a device arrives. I don’t see how that’s happening right now

[jonnybergdahl]

I got this error prior to the one listed above.

Not sure why it would look for position when the tilt is stored with the tilt key though?

That won't work because HA will downgrade the lib back to the version that comes with the HA version.

You can do this instead. Be sure to remove the custom component this will generate later after upgrading to the next HA version.

cd /config
curl -o- -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bdraco/43f8043cb04b9838383fd71353e99b18/raw/core_integration_pr | bash /dev/stdin -d switchbot -p 110275

Complied to those instructions. Blinds are reporting position percentage now, no more Switchbot related error messages in the logs. A Switchbot Bot is still working as expected, so no negative influence on that device.

[bdraco]

Thanks for confirming. I don't use switchbot devices anymore (and I'm only helping out here) so I have limited ability to test. I tested with the blind tilt I bought to test the pr as well as the plug and bots I had in storage and everything is good.

[willliamchan]

Tested on mine and confirmed it is working!

Thanks!

+1 and thanks!

worked perfect, used terminal in HA to ssl in. Then ran cd /config curl -o- -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bdraco/43f8043cb04b9838383fd71353e99b18/raw/core_integration_pr | bash /dev/stdin -d switchbot -p 110275

all blinds (6 in total) running on a Sena USB Bluetooth Adapter (UD100-G03) now operational again. My dusk to dawn script works again! No errors in system logs, or logbook.

Thanks for your work!

edit: removed extra digit in code.

[Tvojm100]

Thanks for this. Works for me too.
