Works with full table
SwitchBot devices mostly talk to the SwitchBot app over Bluetooth, and a hub adds remote access, infrared control and a bridge to other platforms. The hubs (Hub Mini Matter Enabled, Hub 2, Hub 3 and AI Hub) can also present SwitchBot devices to Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant as Matter accessories, and a documented cloud API covers custom setups.
That suits retrofitting ordinary switches, blinds and locks without rewiring, and people who want to mix SwitchBot with another ecosystem. Two caveats: the bridge only works for SwitchBot's own devices, and the cloud routes depend on SwitchBot's servers and a daily API call limit.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Bluetooth | Yes | Many SwitchBot devices connect over Bluetooth. Home Assistant's integration controls them locally over Bluetooth with no hub, though Matter bridging does need a Hub Mini (Matter Enabled), Hub 2 or Hub 3. | Home Assistant SwitchBot SwitchBot Matter page |
| Wi-Fi | Yes | Some products, such as the S10 and K10+ Pro Combo robot vacuums and an air purifier, support Matter directly over Wi-Fi without a hub. Newer Matter lighting also runs over Wi-Fi with no Thread network needed. | SwitchBot Matter page 9to5Mac, Nov 2025 |
| Infrared (via hubs) | Yes | SwitchBot hubs act as universal remotes. TVs, air conditioners and other infrared appliances are added as virtual remotes and can then be exposed to other platforms, with limits. | SwitchBot App Store listing SwitchBot Matter page |
| Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread | Not mentioned | None of these are named as a SwitchBot connection on the pages we checked. One article notes that the Matter-over-Wi-Fi lights need no Thread network. | 9to5Mac, Nov 2025 |
| Matter | Official | Hub Mini (Matter Enabled), Hub 2, Hub 3 and AI Hub act as Matter bridges for SwitchBot's Bluetooth and infrared devices, with a stated capacity of 4, 8, 30 and 30 devices. Some Wi-Fi devices are Matter devices themselves. A separate controller is needed: a HomePod or Apple TV for Apple Home, a Nest device for Google Home. The bridge cannot carry other brands' devices, and SwitchBot says some features, such as touch buttons and universal remotes, work only in Apple Home. Matter Alpha lists Hub 2 and Hub Mini (Matter Enabled) as DCL verified but shows no badge for Hub 3, despite SwitchBot listing it as a bridge. | SwitchBot Matter page SwitchBot Matter bridge guide Matter Alpha |
| Voice assistants and ecosystems | |||
| Google Home | Official | Two routes. The cloud link goes through Works with Google: add the SwitchBot Smart service in Google Home, with the Hub 2 guide requiring SwitchBot app 9.2 or newer. The Matter route needs a Nest device, such as a Nest Hub, as the controller. | SwitchBot Google Home guide SwitchBot Matter bridge to Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings Google Home compatible devices |
| Amazon Alexa | Official | Enable the SwitchBot Smart skill in the Alexa app, with SwitchBot app 9.0 or newer; devices then sync automatically. The page does not say whether a hub is required or which devices are covered. The SwitchBot app listing also mentions Alexa unlock support for Lock Ultra. | SwitchBot Alexa guide SwitchBot App Store listing Alexa Skills store |
| Apple Home | Official | Through Matter, using a hub as the bridge and a HomePod or Apple TV as the home hub. SwitchBot's Matter-over-Wi-Fi lights also pair directly in the Home app. The app listing mentions Siri Shortcuts. | SwitchBot Matter page SwitchBot Matter bridge guide 9to5Mac, Nov 2025 Apple Home accessories list |
| Samsung SmartThings | Official | SwitchBot's guide covers adding the hubs to SmartThings over Matter, naming Hub Mini (Matter Enabled), Hub 2, Hub 3 and AI Hub. It requires a Samsung hub that supports Matter. The app listing also mentions Lock Ultra unlock via SmartThings. | SwitchBot Matter bridge guide SwitchBot App Store listing SmartThings supported devices |
| IFTTT | Official | SwitchBot publishes an IFTTT setup guide, and IFTTT lists a SwitchBot service with 9 triggers, such as temperature, lock status and Hub 2 button presses, and many actions covering bots, curtains, lights, plugs, vacuums and scenes. The triggers are polling-based, checked hourly on the free plan. | SwitchBot IFTTT guide IFTTT SwitchBot service |
| Control4 | Community | A third-party driver from Chowmain LTD covers the Bot, Curtain, Meter, Lock, light strip, bulb and Blind Tilt. The page does not say SwitchBot makes or endorses it. | Chowmain driver on DriverCentral |
| Philips Hue | Unconfirmed | No Hue integration appeared on any page we checked, and no dedicated search was run for it. | Searched, no source |
| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Yes | Built-in integrations maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by SwitchBot, as far as the pages say. SwitchBot (Bluetooth) controls devices locally with no hub. SwitchBot Cloud polls the SwitchBot cloud, needs a hub and an API token and secret, and updates each sensor every 10 minutes against a 10,000 requests-per-day cap. A separate SwitchBot Matter integration exists for Matter-certified devices. | Home Assistant SwitchBot Home Assistant SwitchBot Cloud Home Assistant Matter |
| Homey | Official | Homey's app page names SwitchBot as the developer, though the source repository is under a community developer's account and several contributors are listed. It covers 67 listed devices over Bluetooth LE or through the SwitchBot Hub cloud. The page marks every device, including the Bluetooth ones, as needing Homey Bridge, and lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. Only the Meter Pro and Meter Pro (CO2) carry the Works with Homey certified label. | Homey SwitchBot app Works with Homey: SwitchBot |
| Homebridge | Official | The @switchbot/homebridge-switchbot plugin links to OpenWonderLabs repositories, but its page does not state the publisher outright. It uses the OpenAPI (token and secret, hub needed for several devices) or Bluetooth for many devices, and some newer devices also need an encryption key. | Homebridge plugin README |
| openHAB | Unconfirmed | No SwitchBot binding confirmed. The only page found is a 2019 community thread proposing one, and openHAB's add-on list could not be opened. | Searched, no source |
| Node-RED | Community | The node-red-contrib-switchbot-openapi package, maintained by a community author, offers status and command nodes. It needs the SwitchBot token and secret and shares the 10,000 requests-per-day limit. | Node-RED flow library |
| Hubitat | Community | A community driver by a Hubitat forum member, installed through Hubitat Package Manager, covers the Bot, Meter Plus, light strips and others using the SwitchBot API. Lock and webhook support were described as planned, not confirmed shipped. | Hubitat community thread |
| Domoticz | Unconfirmed | No plugin or built-in support was found in the searches run, which covered SwitchBot with Hubitat, Domoticz, Control4 and openHAB. Domoticz's own pages could not be opened. | Searched, no source |
| SwitchBot OpenAPI | Official | A cloud-hosted REST API at api.switch-bot.com. The token and secret come from Developer Options in the SwitchBot app, which appears after tapping the app version 10 times. Each user gets 10,000 calls a day, and the API is meant for personal use, with an Enterprise API for commercial or large-scale use. Bluetooth devices need a compatible hub and cloud access to be reachable. We could not confirm a documented local network API. | SwitchBot OpenAPI documentation (GitHub mirror) Home Assistant SwitchBot Cloud |
