Failed to turn off {switch}.

Error message

Failed to turn off {switch}.

What it means

The turn_off counterpart: Airobot switch's async_turn_off raises HomeAssistantError with translation key switch_turn_off_failed when turn_off_fn hits an AirobotError. Same failure envelope as turn_on, distinguishing only which operation the user attempted.

Solutions

1. Confirm robot connectivity and retry
2. Complete reauth if auth errors are appearing elsewhere
3. Reload the integration to refresh state and tokens
4. Check logs for the chained AirobotError detail

try:
    await hass.services.async_call("switch", "turn_off", {"entity_id": eid}, blocking=True)
except HomeAssistantError as err:
    _LOGGER.warning("Airobot switch turn_off failed: %s", err)

When it happens

Trigger: Calling switch.turn_off on an Airobot switch while the cloud API call fails — offline device, cloud error, or stale auth.

Common situations: Automations toggling features during robot downtime, or after token expiry.
