I want to like it, I really do. You’ll need the hub to really use these. Ok, let’s start with the first thing. These are cute little button pushers. There is something satisfying about the little “finger” popping out and pushing a button. That’s about it. If you want to use this with any other smart home system, Google Home, SmartThings, etc., you’ll need one of their hubs. Depending on how many “bots” you are using and how far apart they are, you may need multiple hubs. I purchased two of the switchbots and immediately was hit with, download the app, control them with Bluetooth. That’s not what I wanted to do, as I have a fairly large investment in SmartThings. So, I sucked it up and ordered the hub. (just the plain square one, not the pretty cloud hub). Both hubs do the same thing, I needed function, not cutsie. I got the hub and tried to bring my two “bots” into my SmartThings universe. This was more painful than it should be. I would add one and then the next and the first would go offline. I don’t know how many times it took me to get them both loaded and online at the same time, but it was quite a few. The SmartThings integration said beta or something, but I was able to get them integrated pretty easily. I setup a scene in SmartThings to control them. This is where things could be better. The scene runs just fine, but sometimes the “bots” are asleep or playing video games or who knows what. I get about a 95% of the time working, but there is no acknowledgement message that is sent back so SmartThings just tosses the ball to the “bot” and hopes everything works ok. The biggest issue is just that, if it doesn’t work, you have to “sync” the bot back to the app manually. So, if it doesn’t turn on the device, and SmartThings thinks it is on, then you have to turn the device on manually or the next command will do the opposite function. I have a pretty good success rate on the first action, it does ok turning the devices on, it’s the off that I get about a 95% on one bot and 50% success rate on the other. This is ok for what it’s doing, but if it was some mission critical device I was trying to control, 50% success is pretty low. Would I buy them again? Maybe. They do mostly work, but keep in mind that you’ll need a hub to control these “bots” with anything other than your phone, and within Bluetooth range to do that. Since there is no positive or negative feed back (ACK/NAK) to your smart home, it’s about as reliable as telling an 8 year old to wash the dishes. Now for more on the hub, I got the smaller square hub, but it has a really annoying bright white light that stays on all the time, I have this in my bedroom so I have to put something on top of the box to cover the light. You can still see the box “glowing” so I can tell it’s on. Not the best thing I’ve added to my smart home, but it tries and sometimes works. I just wish there was someway to get an acknowledgement to my SmartThings universe, so I could reliably tell the status. I get that it’s a digital world trying to interface with the analog world, but it could be just a bit better.
Great product for smart home junkies. First off, I’d like to say that I own several switchbot products and the best thing about them is their amazing customer service. You can access it right in the app and they are super helpful and accommodating. I had a few issues over the past 2 years: one of my hubs was spotty, and they quickly figured out that I just had the wrong outlet adaptor (needs to accommodate up to 2mA I think…); one of my hubs died, and they were very quick to set up a replacement, even though I had purchased it more than a year ago; one of my hubs spontaneously stopped integrating with Alexa, they literally made an update the next day to fix the problem.With tech products, you kinda have to expect them to fail sometimes, so good customer service honestly should be a pre-requisite for tech companies, but Switchbot is one of the few smart home device companies that actually holds up.As for this bot, specifically, it’s pretty great. My only negative comment is that it can be a little bit laggy with Alexa integration, especially when you use it as part of a routine, but usually some jiggery hackery of the routine fixes that, and honestly it’s not a significant lag: one of my routines is just a bit complex and uses multiple switchbots at the same time.I don’t think they advertise it this way, but one of the best parts about these is that the batteries are replaceable. And when you replace the batteries, it starts up again as normal: you don’t have to set it up again with the app as a new device, nor do you have to re-add it to Alexa.Like all switchbot products, this is one of the most reasonably-priced, well-made smart home devices out there.
Pretty good, but there might be better options. For nearly 4 years my garage door opener hasn’t worked properly. It’s an older model and it keeps getting unpaired with the remote. Garage door repair person said we need a new system, but we are going to remove the garage doors entirely in the next couple years so we didn’t want to waste money.Welcome the Switchbot Smart Switch. Instead of paying hundreds on a new garage door opener, we spent around 30 or so for a swith to press the garage door button for us.It works pretty well. The app is not the easiest thing to use, but once you download it, the switchbot will automatically get detected as long as your bluetooth is on. From there, you can set up a password for it, then you’ll need to input the password again it’s set to connect to the system.At one point, something went wrong and I couldn’t get it to connect, there’s a little button on the inside of the switchbot to reset the bot back to default. I pressed it, but it didn’t actually reset the password, but it did get me to a point where I could connect it back up to my phone. This is just a heads up, in case you do need to reset the unit back to default, you may need to hold that button a little longer, I’m really not sure since the reset didn’t work for me out of the box.The second issue I had was getting the bot into position for my garage door button. I setup a metal bracket across the garage door opener, and zip tied the switchbot to it. Once in position, I activated the switchbot and a little arm swung out, but fell short of actually touching the garage door button. There is no way to lengthen this arm, so my fix was to take a small adhesive pad and cut it to size. Once I did that and stuck it onto the unit, I was able to have the switchbot hit the button, and the rest is history. It works like a charm, and I can open my garage door from anywhere inside and outside of the house, once again giving my garage door the functionality I had been missing for so long.Some other issues, though, you can’t simply connect this unit up to alexa. The unit needs a switchbot hub, which is an additional cost. In the app it gives you the opportunity to turn on alexa integration, but if you don’t have it connected to the hub, this selection is grayed out. That means that I can’t tell alexa to open the garage. I’m not wasting money on a hub.The battery it uses isn’t a common size. It has only been a few weeks of daily use and I haven’t had issues with the battery dying yet, but I don’t know how long it will last. So far this unit has worked for me, but there are others that have adjustable arms. Had I not found a fix to make this work, I would probably have returned it and gone with one of those, but I’m not going to complain. Just keep in mind what you’re planning on using it for, and make your decision based on that.
You can turn anything smart in a few minutes. I have used a lot of smart devices and i love being able to control things with my app or my google assistant and siri. But usually that means purchasing new products that are smart such as new light bulbs, locks, etc. And that can get expensive.So i happened upon the switchbot device on a youtube channel and thought this would be a perfect solution for making my lights in my home smart without having to change every bulb or risk electrocuting myself changing the light switches.So I purchased this with high hopes. And for the most part I am satisfied. The bots do work and can push buttons or turn on switches.PROS- Turns dumb products smart- Can control the bots with their app anywhere if you have the hub- Works with voice assistants like google home/assistant, siri and alexa.- Doesn’t require changing existing fixtures or devices.- The stickers are very strong!- They provide extra stickers.- Relatively small.- The hub doesn’t have to be connected to your router. It just plugs into your wall.- Works with ifft app- You can still use your light switch or any button manually with this switchbot on it.- Customer support is very responsive and helpful. I experienced some minor issues that I mentioned in this review and they reached out to help me fix it. It was a firmware update. They seem very keen on making their customers happy and making the best product they can.CONS- The physical set up can be a little tricky. The app walks you through the physical set up and there is some trial and error in terms of where you stick the bot. Sometimes i had to pry it off because the position wasn’t right or my light switch was too stiff.- The connection to the hub was hit or miss. I would literally have the switchbot right near the hub and it wouldn’t recognize the hub. But maybe a few minutes later it would pick it up. This was very weird.- The device is small but it can look a little weird on your light switch.- So if you plan to use this on a light switch and you have multiple switches that control that same light, if someone happens to hit another switch, it may throw off your switchbox configuration. Let’s say you had your switchbox set to push the the switch to turn on. If someone happens to use another switch to turn on that same light. You may now need to go in the app and change the on configuration to pull to turn on. I found this out when I was telling my device to turn on but realized someone in my house had used another switch to turn it on. So keep that in mind. This is a non factor if you have one switch that controls turning on a given light.- Connecting to the cloud services was hit or miss. You need to turn on the cloud services to use siri, google home or alexa. But when i would try to turn this feature on, it would say I’m not connected to the hub even when i was literally near it. So I would have to wait for the app to connect to the hub and then eventually I could turn on cloud services.Despite these cons, I still purchased more of these devices. Because they still work. If they could partner with Yolink to use their long range technology this device would be perfect. Either way, I still enjoy this product and recommend for people that want to make dumb devices smart easily and quickly. It will save you tons of money in that way!
Cool. I needed a solution to turn my computer on so I can use it remotely. I have a workstation and it’s not something I want to keep running all day and night. So when traveling with my laptop and I need more power to render out graphics faster, I use this to turn on my system at home and log in remotely to churn out my renders. A pretty cool setup.The IR blaster is clutch and has also made things so much easier. I created a virtual remote in the app that’s tied to my audio system, lights, fan, TV and heater, and set scenes using those assigned remote buttons. So now I can use it with my Echo devices and able to control my tv, speakers, computer, lights, air condition, and anything that uses a remote, with my voice. It’s like living aboard Star Trek’s Enterprise😅I took a star off because the battery drains pretty fast in my opinion and is not very standard. Also, after all these years you’d think the device could it’s arm faster so that you can program it to to other task than a press or a flick. It would be great to have a double press (think of a double mouse click) option wherie you can time it.I also don’t like how you have to align it in a weird way because of HOW the arm goes up and down. I think there should be another Bot that has the arm going in and out (back and forth) instead. 🤷🏽♂️
Fácil de programar, hace bien su trabajo. La app es excesivamente sencilla y no es muy intuitiva. Hay video tutoriales en caso de ser necesario en Youtube. A mi me hace un gran trabajo y está trabajando desde hace 6 meses sin cambiarle las pilas. Por otra parte, el Bluetooth tiene gran alcance, en mi caso unos 10 metros dentro de casa, pero eso dependerá de cada construcción (muros, varillas metálicas, etc). Muy satisfecho con el resultado, tan solo mejorable la app.

Works pretty well, but with some caveats. I bought this product to remotely control the air cleaner that run in my office. When I first held it in place for a test, I found it worked perfectly. Then, when I affixed it using the included double sticky tape, it failed. Apparently it was not able to apply enough pressure for the button to register, so perhaps they could include some button tips (as I’ve seen on competing products) to correct for this. I eventually had to remove the front cover and affix it directly to the button, and this worked.I appreciate the programmability, but it does have its limits. For example, you can program a delay, but only up to 10 minutes. I would have preferred one hour, so I could silence the fan for the duration of a meeting, then have it automatically turn the filter back on, but alas.All in all, I’m pretty pleased with the product, and it is working well for me.
Been waiting for this for YEARS. I have an older EVAP cooler in my house, AZ desert. It’s one of the first digital ones, that was discontinued years ago. No thermostat, remote long dead and gone… And it does not turn back on after a power outage. They are frequent with our summer storms… And if I am gone, my dogs have no cool air. I have a camera in my living room so I can make sure the ribbons I tied to the cooler are flashing, and I check in multiple times a day when it’s hot and no one is home. I have had to have a friend drive over and turn it on for them, they are old and can’t handle heat well. I found this after going on vacation and on the trip home, the power went out , and I thought there’s GOTTA be some button pusher invented by now..I had even asked an electrician about wiring it directly, or something, and bought a device that apparently needed the remote to program it… 🤦🏻♀️ for 17 years that’s been my biggest pet peeve and concern, this dang cooler not coming back on. I found this device, and it works PERFECTLY to push the button… I bought the hub as well, and I can control it from work, vacation, anywhere!
It works most of the time. If you want this to work with alexa, you need to get a switchbot hub. I’m not springing for all of that for just 1 switchbot and barely use. When this thing works, it’s reliable, when it doesn’t, you’re going to beat your head against the wall. Customer service is in china so you’ll have to deal with that if something goes wrong. It has some good range on it that prevents me from having to get up every time to hit my glowforge button which is why I got it. Just the spotty service from time to time doesn’t help me love it.
I’ve only had the Switchbot Bot for a few days, but I really like it. I live in an older apartment, and I’ve never been able to use my phone to unlock the building door since the door buzzer is wired directly to an intercom in my apartment. Then one day it occurred to me that someone must have invented a remote button pushing device. Enter Switchbot!I am using the Switchbot Bot and Hub Mini to remotely press the door unlock button on my intercom. Installation was very easy, I just stuck the Bot close to the button using the provided 3M sticky, and then connected the Bot to the Hub.The response time between activating the Bot on my phone and the door unlocking is very quick, just a second or two. I’m very impressed. Now I’m interested in getting a Switchbot Lock for my door to completely free me from needing to carry my keys …In any case, I’m happy. I’m thinking about getting another Bot to control a light switch as well.
Easy set up, works great. Had to have some work on our gas line, so our primary heat source is currently out. Not a big deal, since we have one of those electric “fireplace” heaters. But, it was a pain having to get up early each morning to turn it on. Enter the SwitchBot! Purely a 1st world convenience, but an awesome one! Even without a hub, it allows me to set a schedule to turn on before I wake up so the house starts warming up.It was super easy to set up. Without a hub it only works via bluetooth from my phone, but that’s perfectly fine for the current use. What’s great is that it’s not a one-trick-pony like other smart switches. When I’m done using it for its current purpose, I can always reuse it for something else – virtually anything that has an on/off button or toggle switch.
Useless unless you also buy the Hub. If you just needed one bot to work one button, don’t bother with this. It is SEVERELY limited if you don’t also buy the $40+ hub. Most of the functions are locked unless you also buy the hub. Would you like to set up a widget on your phone for the bot? Need to buy a hub. Would you like to make a siri shortcut? Need to buy a hub. Would you like to add the device to Google Home, Home Assistant, IFTTT, etc? Need to buy a hub.As for the device itself, on installation the adhesive to hold the bot in place seems weak. It lifts itself off and drops to the floor when it activates. I had to use additional adhesives to actually secure it in place.On top of this, the bluetooth connection is flakey at best and continually disconnects even when placed within inches of your phone. When it does work there is a noticeable lag before the bot actually presses the button.The app is also crap. Not very user friendly, crap UI, no real ability to customize. The actual button to cause the bot to actuate is a TINY little circle.No wonder this is a FREQUENTLY RETURNED ITEM.If you plan to buy several of these bots I guess it makes sense to buy into the ecosystem but most people who need this probably only need it for one or two buttons. It’s ridiculous that you’ll need to invest $70+ to get one button to work properly.
Estos conmutadores de bot son geniales. Muy fácil de instalar y configurar temporizadores. Mucho mejor que tener que volver a cablear el cableado eléctrico.
Highly recommend. I used one to open my window shutter daily before I wake up so the sunlight will reach my bedroom. The other one I used to switch off the heater.Pros:- Connecting, scheduling and using the app is easy- Works like a charm, the product is light weight and can be placed in any position.Cons:- The sticker at the bottom does nothing, you need to use a glue gun to fix it.- the handle that presses the switches is very short, you’ll need to improvise and add an object to elevate it or provide a different position.—Overall I’m very satisfied with it, I will purchase two more to automate other items in my life
For me personally, it’s not very useful, but it is convenient to use. I installed one in a house I used to rent. It was only used once on the day I bought it. To be fair, it works well, but for me, it ended up being used too rarely. I bought this as a gift for a Christmas exchange. I hope the person who receives it will be able to make good use of it.
So handy. I wanted to install a smart switch but just didn’t feel confident messing with wires etc. Found this little gadget and thought I would give it a try! Have had it about a month and it works perfectly. You will need a hub if you want it to work while you’re away from home. The app is easy to set a schedule. I am using the attachment to switch on and off – that was very easy to figure out (there are several YouTube videos out there if it doesn’t seem intuitive). Overall, awesome solution to automate a switch without needing to play with wires.

I got the SwitchBot Bot to help control my bathroom fan, and it’s been working perfectly. I use it with the SwitchBot Meter and SwitchBot Hub Mini to keep the humidity under control. When the humidity gets too high, the Bot automatically turns the fan on and off, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.The setup was super easy, and it works exactly as I hoped. I like that it’s small and doesn’t get in the way. It’s such a simple little gadget, but it makes a big difference. I never thought I’d automate something like a fan, but now I can’t imagine going back!If you’re looking for an easy way to turn devices on and off, the SwitchBot Bot is a no-brainer. It’s affordable, reliable, and just works.
Might need to replace every 2-3 years, but still worth it. The media could not be loaded. This is my second time purchasing this same product. I bought the first one about two years ago to use on my garage button, since the clicker stopped working and is apparently impossible to fix. This turns out to be a much better solution, because if you also purchase the Hub Mini, you can activate it from anywhere (comes in handy if I’m not home but need to open my garage for someone). Also works well with Siri, as I’ve programmed shortcuts for “open/close my garage”, and assigned it to the Action Button on my iPhone, essentially making it the clicker.The downside is that these are made of cheap material and wear down relatively quickly, depending on your expectations. I had hoped my original purchase would’ve lasted at least another year or two, but instead its lifespan was July 2022 to January 2025. That’s not bad….but still.Regardless, I got two and a half years out of the original. In that time, it only went through one and a half batteries (I had to replace the battery once, and the replacement was still at least halfway charged).And in that time, it worked great. Once in a while it wouldn’t respond to Siri or even pressing the shortcut manually, but in all of those cases I could simply open the Switchbot app and activate it from there. There’s also a good chance in most of those instances, it wasn’t a problem with the product, but with my WiFi or something.So, if you don’t mind spending the $25-$30 to replace it every 2-3 years, it’s great. Personally I think the cost is worth it.
