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

API Reference

Base URL: https://api.switch-bot.com

Path prefix: /v1.1

Daily limit: 10,000 API calls

Headers (all required):

• Authorization:
• 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".

Querying Families & Rooms

The OpenAPI does not have a dedicated families/rooms endpoint. Instead, extract this info from the device list response (GET /v1.1/devices).

Each device in deviceList includes:

• familyName — the family/home it belongs to
• roomID — room identifier ("defaultRoom" means no specific room assigned)
• roomName — room display name (null if default room)

When the user asks about families, homes, or rooms:

1. Call node scripts/switchbot_cli.js list to get the full device list
2. Group devices by familyName to get all families
3. Within each family, group by roomName (treat null/"defaultRoom" as "未分配房间")
4. Present the family → room → device hierarchy

Example output format:

🏠 Home
  └─ 未分配房间: 设备A, 设备B, ...
  └─ 客厅: 设备C, ...

🏠 测试
  └─ 未分配房间: 设备D, ...

Note: IR remote devices (infraredRemoteList) only have hubDeviceId, no familyName/roomName. To determine their family, match their hubDeviceId to a device in deviceList and use that device's family.

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.
