switchbot is the company that makes tiny robotic fingers to press your switches for you. The new switchbot lock ($ 99.99) sticks to your door and turns the thumb turn automatically to lock and unlock it. switchbot says it can be installed in seconds since there’s no need to remove any part of your existing door lock.
The switchbot lock will be available starting June 20th at Amazon and the switchbot store. Two keypads – the switchbot keypad ($ 29.99) and a switchbot keypad touch with a fingerprint reader ($ 59.99).
As a Bluetooth lock, you can control the lock with your smartphone or Apple Watch when you’re near the door. To add voice control through Google home or Amazon’s Alexa, you’ll need to pick up a switchbot hub mini and plug that into a USB outlet near the lock.
The lock is compatible with most deadbolt locks. It comes with three different-sized thumb turns to fit a variety of designs. switchbot is also working on additional accessories for more compatibility.
The switchbot lock uses 3M VHB to stick to the door. It’s powered by two cr123a 3V batteries that promise six months of battery life.
In addition to app control, voice control, and keypads, you can still unlock your door with your existing key. There’s the option of pairing one of switchbot’s NFC tags with the lock lock.
