SwitchBot is focused on upgrading existing items and tech in the home, instead of replacing them with entirely new smart devices. Affordably and quite simply, SwitchBot products turn existing items in the home, smart. Each device has its own functionality and can perform simple functions independently. However, their functionality can be supercharged by combining other SwitchBot devices in the ecosystem. There’s no limit on the creative scenarios you can bring to life at home.
SwitchBot makes devices that help you turn the dumb devices you have into smart devices. The SwitchBot Bot can push buttons on so many devices. The possibilities are endless. The fact you can create smart light switches them too is pretty cool. The SwitchBot curtain is an affordable way to turn the curtains you have into smart curtains. Now SwitchBot has added a new contact sensor and motion sensor. Both have ambient light sensors that can be used for automation. SwitchBot works with Siri Shortcuts, Alexa, and Google Assistant.
