switchbot.bluetooth

class platypush.plugins.switchbot.bluetooth.SwitchbotBluetoothPlugin(interface=None, connect_timeout=None, scan_timeout=2, devices=None, **kwargs)[source]

Plugin to interact with a Switchbot (https://www.switch-bot.com/) device and programmatically control switches over a Bluetooth interface.

See platypush.plugins.bluetooth.ble.BluetoothBlePlugin for how to enable BLE permissions for the platypush user (a simple solution may be to run it as root, but that’s usually NOT a good idea).

Requires:

  • pybluez (pip install pybluez)

  • gattlib (pip install gattlib)

  • libboost (on Debian `apt-get install libboost-python-dev libboost-thread-dev)
