I love these products!!

The switchbot bot is such a useful and unique little product! Every new product I try from Switchbot I absolutely love and this one is no exception! I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Great way to turn on my PC while I'm away

I use the switch bots to power on my PC remotely, PC I making my office pretty hot so I don't let it on all day, with switch bot i'm able to power it on and control my PC with Google remote desktop easily, pretty happy about it, I had too many issue with WOL, this solve it 100% !

Does what promises

It allows to automate things that use buttons, I have several over my house with different uses. The only flaw I can think off is that in the scenes you can not put wait time between two bot activations or deactivations and that you need the hub for connecting outside the BT range and do scenes

Excellent Purchase

I bought a handful of SwitchBot Bots to automate our home, and they have made our lives so much easier. I never realized how useful they were until I actually made the decision to try them out. We never have to worry about coming home to a dark house because of the Bots. They have transformed our "dumb" switches into smart ones. They are also easy to troubleshoot due to SwitchBot's excellent customer service. Would definitely repurchase. Highly recommended!

Question:

Please clarify when I need to buy the hub vs. buying just the switch?

Answer:

If you just want to control a rocker switch or a button either with your mobile phone (via free app and Bluetooth), or set timers inside, the you don’t necessarily need the SwitchBot Hub.

If you want to make the SwitchBots work with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT and more, or just for remote control, then the Hub is necessary as a Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway.

Question:

Can i control it using amazon echo or google home?
Answer:

Yes. I use all my SwitchBots with Amazon Echo. I do not have Google Home, but the literature indicates that it will work with Google Home as well. You do need to purchase a SwitchBot Hub, however, it order to use with either Google or Amazon.

Question:

Can I use this to remotely press my computer's power button to toggle it on or off?
Answer:

Remotely: Yes.

1) Official and Simple Solution - SwitchBot Hub
If you have at least one "SwitchBot Hub" (the Hub) near SwitchBots (the Bots), which is a Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway and a rainbow color night light, then you could control your Bots from anywhere with Internet connection.

2) Bluetooth - 80 meters (260 foots)
SwitchBot itself is based on Bluetooth (BLE) with a (tested and verified) range of 80 meters (260 foots) in the open filed.

3) DIY - any Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway

SwitchBot has an open API available for makers to customize and integrate with Raspberry Pi and many others.
