A connection to SwitchBot’s online service for controlling compatible smart-home devices such as curtains, plugs, lights and locks.

Opening or closing curtains, switching lights and plugs on or off, checking room conditions, and controlling other SwitchBot devices.

It lets an agent operate these devices and read temperature or humidity without requiring separate manual app actions.

switchbot — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by dAAAb/agent-skills

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add dAAAb/agent-skills --skill switchbot

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dAAAb/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00057	$0.00916
Opus 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00366
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00183
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00092

Measured 1mo ago against content hash 84f63d89529a, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

switchbot scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/switchbot.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SwitchBot Smart Home Control

Control SwitchBot devices through the Cloud API v1.1.

First-Time Setup

Guide your human through these steps:

1. Get API Credentials

Ask your human to:

Open SwitchBot App on their phone
Go to Profile (bottom right)
Tap Preferences (or Settings)
Find About → Developer Options
Copy Token and Secret Key

2. Store Credentials Securely

mkdir -p ~/.config/switchbot
chmod 700 ~/.config/switchbot

cat > ~/.config/switchbot/credentials.json << 'EOF'
{
  "token": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
  "secret": "YOUR_SECRET_HERE"
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.config/switchbot/credentials.json

3. Discover Devices

Run the discovery script to find all devices:

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py list

4. Update Your TOOLS.md

After discovery, note your device IDs in TOOLS.md for quick reference:

## SwitchBot Devices
| Device | ID | Type |
|--------|-----|------|
| Living Room Curtain | ABC123 | Curtain3 |
| Bedroom Light | DEF456 | Plug Mini |

Usage

List All Devices

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py list

Curtain Control

# Open curtain (position 0 = fully open)
python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py curtain <device_id> open

# Close curtain (position 100 = fully closed)
python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py curtain <device_id> close

# Set specific position (0-100)
python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py curtain <device_id> 50

Plug/Light Control

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py plug <device_id> on
python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py plug <device_id> off

Check Sensor Status

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py status <device_id>

Generic Command

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/switchbot.py command <device_id> <command> [parameter]

Supported Devices

Device Type	Commands
Curtain / Curtain3	`open`, `close`, `setPosition`
Plug Mini / Plug	`turnOn`, `turnOff`, `toggle`
Bot	`press`, `turnOn`, `turnOff`
Light / Strip Light	`turnOn`, `turnOff`, `setBrightness`, `setColor`
Lock	`lock`, `unlock`
Humidifier	`turnOn`, `turnOff`, `setMode`

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

switchbot is a skill published in the GitHub repository dAAAb/agent-skills (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 916 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
