$ pip3 install --user --upgrade switchbot-mqtt
$ switchbot-mqtt --mqtt-host HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS

Use sudo hcitool lescan or select device settings > 3 dots on top right in SwitchBot app to determine your SwitchBot's mac address.

Send ON or OFF to topic homeassistant/switch/switchbot/aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff/set.

Home Assistant 🏡

Rationale

Why not use the official SwitchBot integration?

I prefer not to share the host's network stack with home assistant (more complicated network setup and additional netfilter rules required for isolation).

Sadly, docker run --network host even requires --userns host:

docker: Error response from daemon: cannot share the host's network namespace when user namespaces are enabled.

The docker image built from this repository works around this limitation by explicitly running as an unprivileged user.

The official home assistant image runs as root. This imposes an unnecessary security risk, especially when disabling user namespace remapping (--userns host). See https://github.com/fphammerle/docker-home-assistant for an alternative.
