SwitchBot Bot
A tiny battery-powered robot arm that sticks next to any switch or button and physically presses it - smart control with zero wiring, ideal for renters.
4.0 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Automates existing light switches, boilers, intercoms and appliance buttons with no electrical work at all
- Sticks on in seconds with a 3M pad and peels off when you move out
- Works with almost any button or rocker switch, with configurable press-and-hold in the app
Watch outs
- Bluetooth-only out of the box - remote access and Alexa/Google/Siri control need a separate SwitchBot Hub
- Utilitarian looks; a small box stuck on the wall is not to everyone's taste
- Its body can partially block finger access to the switch it is mounted on
- Dimensions 43 x 37 x 24 mm
- Weight 42 g
- Battery life Up to 600 days on typical usage (replaceable battery)
- Connectivity Bluetooth to the SwitchBot app; internet/voice control via a SwitchBot Hub
