SwitchBot has announced the release of its new SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo along with the Hub 3. The company is known for making smart home devices that can help users control different parts of their homes through their phones or voice assistants. This new product launch adds more smart functions to SwitchBot’s lineup, focusing on door security and ease of use in the home.
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is made to help people secure their doors without needing to change out their current locks. The lock attaches to the existing deadbolt. It can be controlled by a phone app, through a keypad, or voice commands with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home. The lock has multiple other different ways that it can be unlocked, including facial recognition, NFC cards, fingerprint recognition, app control, and more. One of the main features is that it does not require any drilling or permanent changes to the door, so renters and homeowners can set it up without much trouble. The combo also has a built-in doorbell camera, which lets users see who is at the door from their phone. The camera offers a wide view and night vision, which can help users check visitors at any time of day.
The new Hub 3 works as a central point for SwitchBot devices. It connects with popular smart home platforms, making it possible to control devices through different apps and voice assistants. The Hub 3 connects devices like the Lock Ultra, security sensors, and other SwitchBot products to the internet. This makes it possible to set up custom routines, such as locking the door at a certain time or getting alerts if the door is left open. The Hub 3 also supports Matter, which is a new standard for smart home devices. This means that the products can work with more brands and systems than before.
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo and Hub 3 are now available for purchase through the SwitchBot website and other online retailers. The company is offering the combo as a way for users to upgrade their home security with less hassle. By allowing users to keep their existing locks and adding smart features, SwitchBot is trying to make smart home security more open to a wide range of people. The focus on ease of use and support for popular smart home platforms means the products can fit into many different homes.
