Troubleshooting
If using Linux / Raspberry Pi OS
bluetoothctl
must be installed on the device, otherwise it cannot communicate via Bluetooth. Enable it withsudo bluetoothctl power on
.If errors occur, while enabling it, restart the process:
rfkill block bluetooth
rfkill unblock bluetooth
Also make sure, that the computer can discover the SwitchBot device:
sudo bluetoothctl
scan on
This lists all discovered Bluetooth devices. The BLE address of the SwitchBot device should be included in this list, otherwise your computer does not discover it.
If using MacOS
- Manually grant Bluetooth access in System Settings UI for
Security & Privacy -> Privacy
to the node executable, eg/usr/local/bin/node
(This is what is intended in documentation for the noble bluetooth package prerequisites by "Add terminal app", however for HomeBridge it isnode
that needs the permission granted, notterminal
. Without this step, then you will receive the following error when the swichbot plugin launches, which will cause Homebridge or the child bridge process to restart:
