So it looks like the only time it updates is from the scan response.

If we could get them to change the service data to come in as an advertisement whenever it changes on the device this would fix the slowness but it would require change in the switchbot firmware. This would also be a great change because it would make it work with passive scans

I opened an issue here OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI-BLE#15

Would be nice if they actually did make the change. Guess now we wait.
What about the missing entity for the built in button?

What about the missing entity for the built in button?

It looks like that PR was abandoned #79632

Some of the data is in the manufacturer_data which is pushed more frequently so I added support for that
