Blackbird Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Was wondering if I can control my Switchbot blinds by using the Insteon Keypad. Thanks
atmarosi Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 I don’t see a SwitchBot (SB) node server plugin currently - but you should be able to use Network Resources and their API if you have a SB hub: https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI
DaveStLou Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 I'm not familar with Switchbot blinds but I use mine for controlling fans through Home Assistant. There are some limitations in the way the Insteon Keypads are handled in the Home Assistant Universal Devices ISY/IoX Integration. Here's the description from the documentation: https://rc.home-assistant.io/integrations/isy994#insteon-scenes--keypadremote-buttons

Thanks Expand Assuming you are using the HA ISY Integration? I don't see why you couldn't write a little HA Automation that triggers off of the Insteon Keypad button press.

HA ISY Integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/isy994/ The integration will "bring in" Switches, sensors and scenes from the ISY. Home assistant is very good at "controlling" these devices and displaying their states. If you want to control something within HA using the ISY, you'll need to write an automation: If Scene KPL XX goes from off to on and if Fan is off Then Turn on fan Note that the SC Fam Fan trigger below is a ISY Scene activated by a KPL Edited August 30, 2024 by IndyMike 1
