SwitchBot

SwitchBot's whole idea is to make the things you already own smart without replacing them: a lock that clamps over your deadbolt, a bot that presses a physical button, curtain motors that pull existing rods. It is an unusually pragmatic product line.

What SwitchBot is known for

• Retrofit smart locks that keep your existing keys
• Button-pressing bots for coffee makers and legacy remotes
• Affordable hubs that add Matter and remote access

What to know before you buy

Retrofit devices are compromises. They add bulk to the inside of a door, and remote access depends on a compatible hub. Matter support has been rolled out across hub models, so check the exact combination you plan to buy.
