Switchbot Bot not moving

[djherbis]

I get messages like:

Error talking to Switchbot
Traceback (most recent call last):

Cannot connect to Switchbot. Retrying (remaining: 1)

Which sounds like it failed, but then succeeded on a retry, however the bot doesn't actually move at all.

I'm running on a raspberry pi 4 if that helps.

According to the stack trace above, you are experiencing an issue within the PySwitchbot library.

switchbot-mqtt currently uses an ancient version of PySwitchbot (<0.13).

Upgrading PySwitchbot might fix the bug, however, I haven't found time yet to adapt switchbot-mqtt to the breaking changes in newer versions of PySwitchbot.

Pre-release v4.0.0a0 supports pySwitchbot's latest release v0.40.1.

Could you upgrade and retry?
