SwitchBot

SwitchBot started as a smart home automation brand known for their ingenious Bot finger robot and has grown into a full ecosystem including smart locks. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra, unveiled at CES 2025, is a compact retrofit smart lock made from magnesium aluminum alloy that installs over your existing deadbolt in minutes — perfect for renters. It features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasting up to 9 months, triple power protection (main battery + backup CR123A + supercapacitor), and Matter support via SwitchBot Hub. With up to 16 ways to unlock including NFC, fingerprint (via keypad accessory), and facial recognition, SwitchBot offers exceptional value.
