You don’t necessarily have to buy a bunch of pricey new smart devices to enjoy the convenience of a smart home. The SwitchBot Bot offers an easy, affordable way to bring smart control to many of the regular gadgets you already own, and right now it’s available for just $23.99 ($6 off) from SwitchBot with code BXBX20 through November 11th, which is one of its best prices to date. It’s also on sale at Amazon for $25.49 ($4.50 off) when you apply the on-page coupon.
The SwitchBot Bot doesn’t require any kind of rewiring or tech expertise; all you need to do is stick the SwitchBot Bot onto a button or rocker switch with the included tape, and you can then use your phone to control a wide range of button-based gadgets. That includes everything from compatible garage door openers to coffee makers, pet feeders, rice cookers, and light switches. It can even stop your washing machine when you’re in a meeting or turn off your monitor when you’re done working. You can also create schedules, automating your coffee maker or monitor to turn on before you’re even out of bed.
Plus, if you pair it with a hub like the SwitchBot Hub Mini, you get to control those devices remotely from anywhere and enjoy hands-free voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. It’s also compatible with Matter, so you can pair it with other smart home platforms, but you’ll need the latest SwitchBot Hub 2 to do that.
