Bot UK

I've tried so many smart home products across brands. The primary issue I have is that they work MOST of the times, not ALL the time. If smart home (let's use SM for this review) products are not reliable, the whole value proposition is lost as it creates added stress and frustration as opposed to convenience. This product highly impressed me. I tried using it for two use cases - pressing the button on my white noise machine and switching on/off my geyser switch. It worked like charm for both use cases. Everything in the product is right - the adhesives are strong, the attachment for switch mode is perfect, and it works every single time reliably. I recently got the remote and paired it with the Bot. Works seamlessly. My wife loved the product but she didn't like the idea of opening an app to switch on/off something. The remote solved that and she loves the experience now. Few such products exist in the market that are of this good quality and work as promised! Highly recommend!

I wanted my non smart switch to be smart without changing switches. This is the perfect solution. Easy to set up. Now I can turn on my water heater and thermostat remotely. Highly recommended if you want an easy automation solution for non-smart switches you have.

I purchased this product mainly to remotely control my AC when I'm not at home, and it works great for that. I can turn on my AC while I'm on my way back from work, so my house is cool by the time I arrive. It's also convenient when I'm on vacation, as I can turn on the AC for a few hours each day to keep the house fresh until I return. However, the one drawback is that I have to set a schedule to automate these tasks, and I can't do that unless I'm physically at home. For my needs, I bought this specifically for remote control, so I wish there was an option to do these tasks without having to set a schedule in advance. Is there a way to manage these actions without setting a fixed schedule, perhaps through a different feature or update?

Nice one. but buy home hub also so you can set to siri and alexa

the sticker is not strong enough

I currently use it to remotely start up my PC and it works like a charm! It is also very secure.

There are certain types of switches that it doesn't work on and happens to be one of the ones I had installed. Waste of money!

Clever and easy way to control non smart home appliances! Can be integrated with HomeKit ( via Homebridge ) Works perfectly !

Produit très pratique pour automatiser un appareil ancien qui ne dispose pas de fonctions connectées. Je l’utilise avec un iRobot d’ancienne génération et cela fonctionne très bien pour appuyer automatiquement sur le bouton power. Dans mon cas, j’ai dû imprimer un petit réhausseur en impression 3D afin d’adapter correctement le poussoir au bouton d’allumage. Une fois cette adaptation faite, le SwitchBot remplit parfaitement son rôle et devient programmable via l’application. Il fonctionne uniquement en Bluetooth par défaut, sans connexion Wi-Fi. Pour un usage à distance ou avec Alexa, l’ajout du SwitchBot Hub est nécessaire. Cela reste à prendre en compte si on veux le wifi a tout pris. En résumé, très bonne solution pour rendre “intelligent” un appareil non connecté, à condition d’accepter les limites du Bluetooth et parfois une petite adaptation mécanique.

Great product, I use it to automate light switches coupled with a door sensor and it simplified everything at low cost!

Wszystko działa jak należy. Bardzo dobry zakup. Urządzenie jest małe i ciche. Ma szybki czas reakcji. Posiada możliwość ustawienia czasu przytrzymania przycisku. Używam do włączania i wyłączania ekspresu do kawy przy użyciu Alexy. Nie podoba mi się interfejs aplikacji.

I bought this to solve a very specific and frustrating problem. I’d purchased a TV bed but wanted the TV to retract automatically once it powered off. Unfortunately, the bed’s remote uses a closed, proprietary protocol, and the manufacturer offered no support. The only manual control beyond the remote control was a rocker switch hidden under the ottoman, which is far from ideal. Enter SwitchBot. Installing the bot onto the rocker switch wasn’t easy due to the awkward layout of the switch, but I managed it using the supplied fixings. I even reinforced the setup with a metal bracket to ensure consistent pressure and positioning as the rocker is actually quite stiff Within five minutes and a few tests, it worked flawlessly. Seeing how well it performed, I then purchased the SwitchBot Hub to integrate with Home Assistant. I created an automation that detects when the TV disconnects from the network (i.e. goes into standby), which then triggers the SwitchBot to press and hold the rocker switch for a fixed time period. This lowers the TV into the bed. Once fully lowered, power to both the TV and the SwitchBot Hub is cut off automatically, meaning everything stays off until someone next raises the TV again using the bed’s remote, which re-enables the power supply. It’s a brilliantly simple yet effective solution to what seemed like a complex problem. Highly recommended. I've been using this setup issue-free for several years now, and I can confidently say this is a fantastic and reliable product. I’ve changed the batteries in the bot a few times, but it continues to perform flawlessly. It presses a very firm rocker with noticeable force, holds it for about 20 seconds, then retracts. This action has repeated countless times without a single hiccup. Today, it remains a hassle-free and indispensable part of my smart home.

masa da ulaşılması zor yerde duran mac mini için aldım ama mac in power tuşu köşede kalıyor bunun için 3D printer dan küçük bir parça basmam gerekti.. ihtiyacı olan varsa thingiverse'e mac mini switchbot yazdığında çıkıyor.. tabii bunun haricinde bir de hub a ihtiyaç varmış bunu görünce bi vaz geçtim ama sonra ışıklar da kullanırm diye her ikisinide aldım.. şuan hub ve alexa ile.. mac mini, osram kumandalı ampulleri, köşede duran ledbarı ve gece lambasını kontrol edebiliyorum.
