closed per @DigiH's link. I need to remember to look for feature requests in the future. Now to try to figure out how to add this code to my build while I wait for it to be formally included!

You can already trigger a switchbot without modifying the code, just replace the MAC Address below with the one of your switchbot:
home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/config

{
  "ble_write_address": "FF:AA:BB:FF:DD:EE",
  "ble_write_service": "cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b",
  "ble_write_char": "cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b",
  "ble_write_value": "570100",
  "value_type": "HEX",
  "ttl": 4,
  "mac_type":1,
  "immediate": true
}
