The AK SwitchBot plugin is another great addition to AK’s lineup. Paired with the AK Flirc plugin, it gives me seamless control of my media center blinds and curtains, as well as the ability to adjust lighting in the room based on my needs. It’s been impressive to see how quickly this plugin has matured into something reliable and easy to use. The developer has been a pleasure to work with — always quick to respond and open to feedback. A big thank you for another solid plugin!
I want to follow up on my earlier review and now give 5 stars. The issues I experienced were related to a mini hub that had a poor connection with the devices, causing an unusually high number of requests to be sent. By installing an additional hub near the devices, the problems have been resolved, and the plugin now works as expected.
Tha plugin itself seems to work fine, but devices stop working because of "Requests reached the daily limit (SystemError)". This makes it unreliable. Looks like devices are polling so much that after the limit has been reset at Switchbot, after only 10 hours the limit is reached again. Even with less devices enabled.
A bit frustrating, because the devices that are left (curtains) where already available with the free plugin. Also frustrating because it's not clear which devices are responsible, so troubleshooting is impossible.
Despite it all, I hope this issues will be fixed, so I can use all meters and devices.
very nice plugin!
