SwitchBot Bot UK

I am using switch bot bot, hub mini and pan/tilt camera. So far, we like the performance.I am enjoying the ability to see my 4 installed cameras at once while having the capability to pan/tilt camera at the same time.Switchbot bot is pretty useful as well. We can press lots of buttons remotely. I have some appliances that are quite primitive such as light switches, water keetle and central AC remote that I can't replace with a smart thermostat due to my landlord's rules in my UAE apartment. These are the parts where bot becomes handy. And so far it never fails.I use hub mini at my home in Indonesia to control split AC and to act as a tv remote control at once. And it works like a charm.I do hope switchbot would create more home automation and home security products in the future. Keep up the good work!

I've bought this device twice and its so satisfying and easy to install. Totally recommend as it closes the switch from the phone

It helped us with the water heater switch. We don't waste money on electricity by keeping the water heater on. We just set a time for it to come on when we want to shower every morning. Its so easy and simple to set up too.

Note this is only bluetooth operated switch to connect with alexa need to buy hub also separately.

I use this to open/close my ac and it’s such a game changer!! The app is user friendly & so handy when you can’t get out of bed.If you get the hub it’ll work with Alexa so even easier!

I tried it with two light switches a room switch and a doorbell switch to test the two modes of that button.PROS:* It worked as expected* It has two working modes1. Pressing: It just press on the button for some seconds and then release it (you can control the press delay however even when you set the delay for 0 seconds it will still have some delay)2. Switching: You can use this mode with switches that requires manual switch on and off.* The button has other cool features which I didn't test it like:1. you voice control but you need a switchbot hub for it2. you can control over wifi again you will need a switchbot hub3. you can schedule to turn on/off switchesCONS:* It sticks so hard to the wall, I can imagine that it can damage the wall. I tried on the plastic frame of my switch and when I tried to remove the button it came out with the switch frame.* It doesn't look great on switches* The button always turn off and gets disconnected!! I have to remove the battery every time to restart! so it is not reliable by any means.Being unreliable and getting disconnected frequently, turned it from a great gadget to totally useless pricy gadget that got stick to my switch that I'm afraid to remove it again to avoid any damage.

This little device does exactly what it should. Works well directly from the phone app.

After setup and you will need home hub 2 device to get it working perfectly with HomeKit. It doesn’t have any issues.My only complaint is that it’s not perfect size for every application as on my AC there is no space for it so you might need 3D printer to make it adaptable to anything. Also they need to add physical button on it.Other cons: first it’s not easy to open battery compartment specially if it’s installed you will be scared to undo the tape. Second it uses rare battery and not easy to find I wish instead they gave us rechargeable battery and ability to replace them.
