switchbot

Description

Plugin to interact with the devices registered to a Switchbot account/hub.

In order to use this plugin:

• Set up a Switchbot Hub and configure your devices through the Switchbot app.

• Follow the steps on get started page to get an API token from the app.

Configuration

switchbot:
  # [Required]
  # API token (see `get started page`_).
  api_token:   # type=str

  # [Optional]
  # How often the `RunnablePlugin.loop <https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/plugins/.html#platypush.plugins.RunnablePlugin.loop>`_ function should be
  # executed (default: 15 seconds). *NOTE*: For back-compatibility
  # reasons, the `poll_seconds` argument is also supported, but it's
  # deprecated.
  # poll_interval: 15  # type=Optional[float]

  # [Optional]
  # How long we should wait for any running
  # threads/processes to stop before exiting (default: 5 seconds).
  # stop_timeout: 5  # type=Optional[float]

  # [Optional]
  # If set to True then the plugin will not monitor
  # for new events. This is useful if you want to run a plugin in
  # stateless mode and only leverage its actions, without triggering any
  # events. Defaults to False.
  # disable_monitor: False  # type=bool

toggle(device: str, **_)

Shortcut for press().

Parameters:

device – Device name or ID.

transform_entities(entities: Collection[dict]) → Collection[Entity]

This method takes a list of entities in any (plugin-specific) format and converts them into a standardized collection of Entity objects. Since this method is called by publish_entities() before entity updates are published, you may usually want to extend it to pre-process the entities managed by your extension into the standard format before they are stored and published to all the consumers.

unlock(device: str, **_)

Unlock a compatible lock device.

Parameters:

device – Device name or ID.

voldown(device: str)

Send volume down IR event to a device (for TV, IPTV/Streamer, Set Top Box, DVD and Speaker).

Parameters:

device – Device name or ID.

volup(device: str)

Send volume up IR event to a device (for TV, IPTV/Streamer, Set Top Box, DVD and Speaker).

Parameters:

device – Device name or ID.
