In this video, I'll show you the differences in functionality between the Switchbot OpenAPI integration and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). I'll share my experiences using Switchbot and OpenAPI with Homebridge, and compare that to using Home Assistant and an ESP32 today. I'll also show you how to flash the ESP32 using the Arduino IDE and what settings you need to configure!
