Make A Ceiling Fan Smart, Part 4

So you've got a ceiling fan plus a Switchbot Meter and Bot, but the app won't let you create rules to automate this

Fortunately Home Assistant has integrations for Switchbot devices

Now if the computer you're running this on has Bluetooth then chances are Home Assistant is already Bluetooth aware

If not you're going to need a Bluetooth adapter like this one which worked on my Intel NUC

Unfortunately, the internal one just caused problems so I needed to find another one

Once you add a Bluetooth adapter, Home Assistant should detect it and prompt you to setup Bluetooth

Given time, it should then detect the Switchbot Meter, and suggest you add the integration for it

Use the Switchbot app to turn the switch on and off and the integration for the Bot should show up in Home Assistant as well

Now you can automate your ceiling fan
