How it works
Select compatible SwitchBot devices, add them in the SwitchBot app and, where required, use a compatible hub to bridge devices to Matter and third-party smart-home platforms.
Who it's for
Smart-home users who want to automate existing devices gradually rather than replace everything at once.
What to consider before buying
Check whether each device uses Matter directly or requires a compatible hub, and verify feature support for your preferred smart-home platform.
