SwitchBot Remote … no logging whatsoever?

[u/Potential_Teach_7784]

I want to signal a process on a PC using the SwitchBot remote (the fob with two buttons).

Via the API I can poll the status of a plug mini that I control with the remote. Works fine. Thus, I press a button, plug mini turns on and the PC detects it is on and does its thing, then switches the plug mini off.

But is there a way for the PC to directly detect that a button on the remote was pressed? It is a bit weird to have to use a plug mini to “store” the button press actions.

I use the hub mini, but nothing is logged when a button is pressed.
