Code can be installed using Arduino IDE OR using Visual Studio Code PlatformIO
- For Arduino IDE - Use only the SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32.ino file
- For Visual Studio Code PlatformIO - Use the src/SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32.cpp and platformio.ini files

Allows for "unlimited" switchbots devices to be controlled via MQTT sent to ESP32. ESP32 will send BLE commands to switchbots and return MQTT responses to the broker
- I do not know where performance will be affected by number of devices
- This is an unofficial SwitchBot integration. User takes full responsibility with the use of this code**

based off of the work from https://github.com/combatistor/ESP32_BLE_Gateway

Notes:
- Supports Home Assistant MQTT Discovery
- Support bots, curtains, temp meters, contact sensors, motion sensors, plug mini
- It works for button press/on/off
- It works for curtain open/close/pause/position(%)
- It can request status values (bots/curtain/meter/motion/contact: battery, mode, state, position, temp etc) using a "rescan" for all devices
- It can request individual device status values (bots/curtain/meter/motion/contact: battery, mode, state, position, temp etc) using a "requestInfo"
- Good for placing one ESP32 in a zone with 1 or 2 devices that has a bad bluetooth signal from your smart hub. MQTT will use Wifi to "boost" the bluetooth signal
- ESP32 bluetooth is pretty strong and one ESP32 can work for entire house. The code will try around 60 times to connect/push button. It should not need this many but it depends on ESP32 bluetooth signal to switchbots. If one alone doesn't work, get another esp32 and place it in the problem area
- OTA update added. Go to ESP32 IP address in browser. In Arduino IDE menu - Sketch / Export compile Binary . Upload the .bin file
- Support for bot passwords
- Automatically rescan every X seconds
- Automatically requestInfo X seconds after successful control command
- Retry set/control command on busy response from bot/curtain until success
- Get settings from bot (firmware, holdSecs, inverted, number of timers)
- Add a defined delay between each set/control commands or per device
- ESP32 will collect hold time from bots and automatically wait holdSecs+defaultBotWaitTime until next command is sent to bot
- Retry on no response curtain or bot
- holdPress = set bot hold value, then call press (without disconnecting in between)
- Set/Control is prioritized over scanning. While scanning, if a set/control command is received scanning is stopped and resumed later
- ESP32 can simulate ON/OFF for devices when bot is in PRESS mode. (Cannot guarantee it will always be accurate)
- Curtain position will update as curtain is moving
- Switchbot device states will always update when state is changed while scanning (active/passive)
- Mesh multiple ESP32s for better motion/contact/meter performance
- Active scanning (uses more battery) VS Passive scanning (uses less battery)

## Steps to Install on ESP32 - Using Arduino IDE ##

1. Install Arduino IDE
2. Setup IDE for proper ESP32 type
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/installing-the-esp32-board-in-arduino-ide-windows-instructions/
(Tested working with version 1.0.6 of the ESP32 Core Arduino Library)
3. Install **NimBLE-Arduino** library (Tested working with version 1.4.0)
4. Install **EspMQTTClient** library (Tested working with version 1.13.3)
5. Install **ArduinoJson** library (Tested working with version 6.19.4)
6. Install **CRC32** library (by Christopher Baker) (Tested working with version 2.0.0)
7. Install **ArduinoQueue** library (Tested working with version 1.2.5)
8. Modify code for your Wifi and MQTT configurations and SwitchBot MAC addresses

Configurations to change can be found in the code under these line...
```
/****************** CONFIGURATIONS TO CHANGE *******************/

/********** REQUIRED SETTINGS TO CHANGE **********/
```

Stop when you see this line...
```
/********** ADVANCED SETTINGS - ONLY NEED TO CHANGE IF YOU WANT TO TWEAK SETTINGS **********/
```
10. Compile and upload to ESP32 (I am using Wemos D1 Mini ESP32)
11. Reboot ESP32 plug it in with 5v usb (no data needed)




## Steps to Install on ESP32 - Using Visual Studio Code - PlatformIO ##

1. Install Visual Studio Code
2. Add the PlatformIO extension to VSCode
3. Open SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32 project from PlatformIO
4. Modify SwitchBot-BLE2MQTT-ESP32.cpp code for your Wifi and MQTT configurations and SwitchBot MAC addresses

Configurations to change can be found in the code under these line...
```
/****************** CONFIGURATIONS TO CHANGE *******************/

/********** REQUIRED SETTINGS TO CHANGE **********/
```

Stop when you see this line...
```
/********** ADVANCED SETTINGS - ONLY NEED TO CHANGE IF YOU WANT TO TWEAK SETTINGS **********/
```
5. Choose your ESP32 board type and Upload to ESP32

6. Reboot ESP32 plug it in with 5v usb (no data needed)



## Steps for OTA update ##

1. Download the latest version of the ESP32 code
2. Edit the code with your Wifi, MQTT, Switchbot device MAC configurations
3. Compile a .bin file using the IDE you are using
- Arduino = https://randomnerdtutorials.com/bin-binary-files-sketch-arduino-ide/
- PlatformIO = https://community.platformio.org/t/how-to-make-bin-file-using-platformio-ide/8491
4. Open the ESP32 IP address in a web browser
5. Upload the new .bin file from the web browser
6. Check from the web browser that the version is the correct version




## Steps for ESP32 Mesh setup (Look at the EXAMPLES folder for different configuration between Primary and Secondary ESP32s ##

1. Decide how many ESP32s you want to use
2. Choose one ESP32 as the primary and set the host value. Example: ```static const char* host = "esp32";```
3. Setup the other ESP32s as secondary ESP32s. Set unique host values. Example: ```static const char* host = "esp32mesh1";```
4. Setup the other ESP32s as secondary ESP32s. Set meshHost to the primary ESP32 host value. Example: ```static const char* meshHost = "esp32"; ```
5. Decide on the other configurations:
- Primary ESP32 can be set to Active and Passive Scan, or Active Scan only (if you are also using switchbot hub/app and what statuses to be synched constantly)
- Secondary ESP32s can be set to passive scan only, or active scan less than the primary ESP32

NOTES:

In a MESH setup, messages will be routed through the primary ESP32. The primary ESP32 will keep counts of things like contact/motion/button pushes to ensure duplicates messages are not sent out. Each ESP32 will receive the BLE data from the device, so performance is greatly increased. The first ESP32 to detect the data change will result in a faster MQTT data publish

*Meshing only works for motion sensors, contact sensors and temp meters. Add the motion/contact/meter MAC address to all or most meshed ESP32s. Add the Bot and Curtain and Plug MACs only once on the ESP32 closest to the device

Active Scanning:

- Active Scanning uses more battery on switchbot devices. It requests a read response from the switchbot devices
- Active Scanning provides more data like battery info
- Active Scanning is required by Bots and Curtains

Passive Scanning:

- Passive Scanning uses less battery on switchbot devices. It does not request a read response from the switchbot devices
- Passive Scanning does not provide battery info in most cases, but provides state (ON/OFF, temp, contact, motion, humidity ... etc)
- Passive Scanning is good enough for Motion, Contact, Meter and Plugs
