Lock BLE API

[AdyRock]

Current Situation

There is no BLE API documentation for the lock API except for the device id

Proposed Change

Add documentation for the Lock BLE API

Additional Context

It is desirable to integrate the lock into other home automation systems.

I also think this would be a nice feature and probably shouldn't be closed as the BLE fix isn't available yet. I understand that it's not possible yet, but the issue shouldn't be closed IMO.

Hey team, any updates on this?

[Jacksonbm1]

I saw a post in a live chat with a cofounder of switchbot that said the ble lock api is coming:

Here's the op:

"Hey. It's Richard here. I am one of the cofounders of
this little robot SwitchBot. I am more on sales and
marketing, but i also know how to code and play
around with JavaScript and Python myself. I have
around 160+ connected device, 20-30 scenes/
routines/automations or whatever you call it at my
place and most of them are in use, which means I
kinda know what smart home is. Also I use Alexa
most of the time at home and Siri when I am on my
phone. Just wanna say hi and if you guys have
anything you wanna tell me, just let me know. Would
like to interact with you guys more from now on. In
case i missed you comments, pin me again. I am
also on Twitter in case you wanna talk there too.

Here's the reply that says the lock api is coming:

"1. Lock API is definitely on its way. We gotta
test the security level before releasing and
there is no ETA yet."

I don't understand. Why was this issue closed even though there is still no documentation on using the switchbot lock via BLE?

[Jacksonbm1]

It's listed as open for me? But I believe comments may re open it. Pretty sure GitHub auto closes issues that don't get updates and go stale

with V1.1 of the API dropping about a week ago and bringing back the lock and unlock capability to the webAPI (which is awesome, thank you very much for that), is there any timetable in regards to this functionality being added to the bleAPI?

[Jacksonbm1]

Best way I can find is to message Richard Mou on twitter. He responds quickly

[r-glebov]

Looking forward for the BLE API support!

This is Davidson from the dev team. We are working on the BLE API and we will update the BLE API doc hopefully in the next month. I myself will oversee the progress and keep you posted. Thanks a lot for being patient and supportive! You guys are the best!
