SwitchBot has announced the launch of its new Floor Cleaning Robot S20 and the Robot Vacuum K11+. Both products come with Matter 1.4 support, which helps users connect these devices to different smart home systems. Matter is a standard for smart home devices that lets them work together, even if they are from different brands. With Matter 1.4, the S20 and K11+ can be used with popular platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.
The Floor Cleaning Robot S20 is designed to handle both vacuuming and mopping jobs. It uses a mapping system to move around rooms and clean floors. The S20 can clean carpets and hard floors. It features a water tank for mopping and a dustbin for vacuuming. The robot can return to its charging station on its own when it needs to recharge.
The Robot Vacuum K11+ is focused on vacuuming and comes with a self-emptying dock. This dock can hold the dust and dirt the robot picks up for several weeks, so users do not need to empty the dustbin often. The K11+ uses sensors to avoid bumping into furniture and can be controlled through a phone app or by using voice commands with smart speakers.
Both the S20 and K11+ work with the SwitchBot app. The app lets users set cleaning schedules, select which rooms to clean, and check the cleaning history. With Matter 1.4, owners can use different smart home apps to control the robots along with other smart devices in their homes.
SwitchBot says these new products are meant to make home cleaning easier for people who have smart home setups. By supporting Matter 1.4, the company is aiming to give users more choices in how they control and automate cleaning tasks. The S20 and K11+ are available through SwitchBot’s website and other online stores. Pricing and more details are listed on the company’s website.
