Switchbot integration bots configured as "Switch mode" - not working

[andys73]

The problem

I have 3 bots connected to Home Assistant. Two of them are configured as "Press Mode" and one as "Switch mode".
They all worked at one point in Home Assistant. The one in "Switch mode" is not working anymore in core-2022.4.7.
I remove it and add it again to be sure it connects. It is finding the bot and the battery is reported correctly. When I try to switch it from On to Off or from Off to On from Home Assistant it gives the error included in the ticket. Changing the status of the bot from Switchbot app is synchronized correctly in Home Assistant.

Hey there @Danielhiversen, @RenierM26, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (switchbot) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I am not sure how I can open this again. This is still not addressed. What is happening is as above:

• Switch set to ON -> action is executed
• The state automatically goes back to OFF
• If you try to set again to ON, it does execute on the bot but then the actual switch remains ON and cannot be turned off.

So the states in HA are not in sync with the bot and that is causing the incorrect function as a "switch"

[andys73]

Ok I have a workaround.
I define a toggle helper and I have set the initial state with the actual switchnot state and then I make an automation when the helper is set to off to call service switch turn off the switchbot device and when is set to on to call service switch on the actual switchbot device and that works well. The actual state of the device in HA will eventually sync so I think this is good enough for me!
