Known limitations

Before submitting an issue, please review below "Known Limitations" if your problem is related to it or check the API issue overview
Several issues need adjustment of the SmartBot API which cannot be handled by this adapter/developer.

Request limit

The amount of API calls per day is limited to 1000 times, as a result of that we must limit the amount of API calls handled during one day
(1000 / 24 / 60 = 0.7 calls at max per minute) See issue to Add Local API Support

At adapter start we will first make 1 API call to get all devices + 1 API for each device to get all values. If u have 5 curtains for example, the adapter start will need 6 API calls to have all data complete.

Each position/value change will require 1 API call. To avoid reaching the limit to soon, proper intervall time must be defined during beta testing

Control of SwitchBot

  • No status provided from API if switch is in position on or off See issue Add Switch Mode Status to API for Bots
  • The adapter will always create 2 states, press (toggle SwitchBot) and state (set On/Off).
    • If your device is set to Switch, the press command will fail!
    • If your device is set to Press, the state On/Off does not reflect the real value but just trigger a press

ToDo

[ ] Code stability & optimization
[ ] API error handling & messages
[ ] Add support for IR-remote controls [ ] Test all device Types, see list below
[ ] Filter states not needed in device tree
