name: switchbot-openapi description: Control and query SwitchBot devices using the official OpenAPI (v1.1). Use when the user asks to list SwitchBot devices, get device status, or send commands (turn on/off, press, set mode, lock/unlock, curtain open %, IR air conditioner, lights, fans, robot vacuums, keypads, etc.). Requires SWITCHBOT_TOKEN and SWITCHBOT_SECRET.

SwitchBot OpenAPI Skill

This skill equips the agent to operate SwitchBot devices via HTTPS requests to the official OpenAPI v1.1. It includes ready-to-run scripts and a Node CLI; use these instead of re-deriving the HMAC signature each time.

Quick Start (Operator)

1. Set environment variables:

• SWITCHBOT_TOKEN: your OpenAPI token
• SWITCHBOT_SECRET: your OpenAPI secret

2. Test (list devices):

• Bash: scripts/list_devices.sh
• Node: node scripts/switchbot_cli.js list

3. Common tasks:

API Reference

Base URL: https://api.switch-bot.com Path prefix: /v1.1 Daily limit: 10,000 API calls

Headers (all required):

• Authorization: <SWITCHBOT_TOKEN>
• sign: HMAC-SHA256(token + t + nonce, secret), Base64-encoded
• t: 13-digit millisecond timestamp
• nonce: random UUID

Key endpoints:

• GET /v1.1/devices — list all devices
• GET /v1.1/devices/{deviceId}/status — device status
• POST /v1.1/devices/{deviceId}/commands — send command
• GET /v1.1/scenes — list scenes
• POST /v1.1/scenes/{sceneId}/execute — execute scene

Command body format:

{
  "command": "<commandName>",
  "parameter": "<string|object>",
  "commandType": "command"
}

For IR "Others" (DIY) devices, use "commandType": "customize".

Agent Guidelines

• Always use the provided CLI scripts — they handle HMAC signatures automatically.
• The CLI runs preflight checks for BLE devices (Bot, Lock, Curtain, Blind Tilt) — requires Hub + Cloud Services enabled.
• For IR Air Conditioner, only setAll is supported (not separate setMode/setTemp).
• For Keypad commands (createKey/deleteKey), results are async via webhook.
• If a command returns statusCode 160, the device may not support that command — use Scenes as fallback.
• Never log tokens/secrets. Ask user to set them as environment variables.
