Brewing a cup of coffee remotely, controlling the air conditioning, making your dumb lights smart, or installing a smart intercom to open your apartment building’s door: all this is possible with the SwitchBot Bot! Let’s dive into this small but handy device that can make many things in your home smart without needing to purchase a bunch of new devices.
What is the SwitchBot Bot?
The SwitchBot Bot is a small square device with a lever that can be remotely controlled. By attaching it to a “dumb” device, you can use this Bot to press a button and thereby control your devices. This makes every device in your home smart, from a light switch to the garage door.
Making Dumb Lights Smart
The SwitchBot Bot can be used to make a non-smart light smart. By attaching the Bot to your light switch, it’s possible to remotely control the light switch using an app. This allows you to easily turn your lights on and off remotely without buying a new lamp.
Coffee Maker, Air Conditioning and Garage Door
In addition to making your lights smart, there are countless other options for using your SwitchBot Bot. For example, you can attach the SwitchBot Bot to your coffee maker and set it to turn on at a certain time every morning. This way you wake up to a freshly brewed cup of coffee. You can also control your air conditioning remotely by attaching the SwitchBot Bot to the switch. Another example is attaching a SwitchBot Bot to the switch of your garage door. This allows you to, for instance, set your garage door to open when you’re near your home or control it remotely via your phone or smart assistant. As you can see, the possibilities are endless.
Smart Intercom
Do you live in an apartment and want to remotely control the building’s door? With most intercoms, it’s possible to attach a SwitchBot. You can remotely activate the SwitchBot Bot, pressing the button on your intercom to open the building’s door. This allows you to easily let people in remotely, for example if your visitors have arrived while you’re still on your way.
