What This Skill Does
Control and query SwitchBot smart home devices via the official OpenAPI v1.1. Supports device listing, status checks, commands (on/off/toggle/press), and specialized controls for curtains, locks, lights, fans, robot vacuums, weather stations, and blind tilts. Also manages scenes, family/room/home data, and AI MindClip recordings with transcription, summarization, and todos.
Replaces manually deriving HMAC signatures for each API call by providing ready-to-run scripts and a Node CLI that handle authentication automatically.
When to Use It
- Turn on or off a SwitchBot smart plug or light from a script
- Lock or unlock a SwitchBot door lock remotely
- Set curtain position to a specific percentage
- Query the status of all SwitchBot devices in a home
- Start a robot vacuum cleaning session with custom suction and water levels
- Retrieve and summarize AI MindClip voice recordings
Install
$ openclaw skills install @switchbot-dev/switchbot-cloudapiSwitchBot 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.

API Reference
Base URL: https://api.switch-bot.com
Path prefix: /v1.1
Daily limit: 10,000 API calls
Headers (all required):
- Authorization:
<SWITCHBOT_TOKEN> - 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 devicesGET /v1.1/devices/{deviceId}/status— device statusPOST /v1.1/devices/{deviceId}/commands— send commandGET /v1.1/scenes— list scenesPOST /v1.1/scenes/{sceneId}/execute— execute sceneGET /v1.1/mindclip/recordings?deviceID=xxx&pageNum=1&pageSize=20— list recordingsGET /v1.1/mindclip/recordings/{recordingId}— single recording detailGET /v1.1/mindclip/summaries/{recordingId}— transcription + AI summaryGET /v1.1/mindclip/todos?completedNum=1&pageNum=1&pageSize=20— todo listGET /v1.1/mindclip/assistant/daily?date=YYYY-MM-DD— daily memoryGET /v1.1/mindclip/assistant/weekly?week=YYYY-Wxx— weekly summaryGET /v1.1/mindclip/assistant/urgent-todos?date=YYYY-MM-DD— urgent todos
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 toroomID— room identifier ("defaultRoom"means no specific room assigned)roomName— room display name (nullif default room)
When the user asks about families, homes, or rooms:
- Call
node scripts/switchbot_cli.js listto get the full device list - Group devices by
familyNameto get all families - Within each family, group by
roomName(treatnull/"defaultRoom"as "未分配房间") - 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
setAllis 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.
