More and more people want to transform their habitat into a connected house.If you too want to pass the course, know that Switchbot is a perfect brand to go to all connected.The brand, renowned for its connected curtains, takes advantage of a multitude of products to automate certain actions in your apartment and house or even control everything thanks to your smartphone: bulb, switch, indoor camera, movement sensors, connected thermometer, connected,Opening and closing detector… Here is our opinion on Switchbot products after a few weeks of use!
Switchbot Bot: the switch button that was talked about
Switchbot is a brand in its own right, but also a product that has been talked about a lot.This is the first (or one of the first) connected button.It allows remotely to make any intelligent device or switch.Do you want to turn off the living room allogen from a distance?It's possible.Light your coffee maker and launch coffee automatically?It's possible.Light your heating as soon as it is less than a certain temperature and cut it when it's hot?It is also possible (but you will have to have a heat sensor).Or, automatically turn off a light when you open your door?Also possible, but with the accessory that we will see just below.
In short, a multitude of possibilities thanks to a small button that can interact with any switch, in single click or off mode.All connectivity will be done via the application which is really complete and compatible with IFTTT, Google Home, Alexa and Siri.
To install it, just paste it, connect it to Bluetooth to your phone and that's it.A hub allows you to have them permanently connected to the Internet.

Opening and presence detector
This is a small box even simpler than the switch to install.It can either be used to protect your home and alert you if a window or door opens.Or automate it via the application and others of your accessories.
It therefore sticks against the frame of your door for example with a small loving box in front.If the two go away, it launches automation.In addition, it also has a sensor of presence and light.A automation in the office: if a presence is detected 60s before the opening of the door, that means that someone goes out, so we turn off the light from the kitchen.If necessary it does not make any action.
It is possible to do in a similar way, to turn on the security camera, send an alert to your phone or launch an action from one of your assistants (for example: to turn on or extinguish all the lights).
We can imagine funny scenarios too, like throwing music and lighting the TV when the beer fridge is open.Imagination is your limit here!

The Switchbot curtain
The Switchbot curtain is a bit like the flagship product that also makes a lot of talk about it.And for good reason, it allows you to open and close your curtains, whatever their installation, for you!And above all, independently if you have invested in complementary solar panels.This can be automated to program an opening at a fixed hour, or when the sun rises.
An effective way to save time in the morning.But also to wake up in daylight.And above all, to make believe in a presence in your home in case of absence.
The installation is very easily done, in a few minutes the robots are fixed on the curtain rod, it is then enough to connect them to the application.Once finished, everything happens in the app and you can open them and close at will.The kit is sold with all accessories to adapt to all curtains, depending on the types, it may take more time for installation.

And in addition, the hub, the camera and the remote control
The mini hub is somewhat the essential object of Switchbot, in fact, it allows you to activate all your Switchbot accessories without you being next to it.This is the only one (with the camera) which will be connected to WiFi and aware.The other products are on battery.Once the latter has been connected, everything can work together.Without, they will have to be checked individually.Bonus, it also allows you to replace your remote controls and can light your TV, launch your air conditioning and similarly (if the two are nearby).He settles even more easily, and once installed he is forgotten.
The camera is a little extra that is added to the ecosystem, it costs less than 30 € and brings a little more in terms of safety at home.If you really want to protect your home, other cameras will be recommended, but for this low price, it is a first interesting approach.And it can allow automation, such as lighting the lights when someone is detected in your garage.
