SwitchBot

Overall, great product and decent app. Feature request: would be really nice if there was support for Apple Shortcuts. That would allow a user to say, “Siri, make a coffee” and the SwitchBot could be activated to start the coffee machine. This would provide great additional functionality without having to buy the cloud hub.

I was looking for a simple device to push a button to start my tile stove when I am on my way home and want a warm place when I arrive. First I had my doubts if a young startup can deliver a great solution for my problem - but it is not only a great solution for pushing a single button - it was a great experience: Ordering worked as expected, the packaging is simple but elegant and the design of the SwitchLink (hub for remote access) is really beautiful. I didn‘t expect to be able to change the colors within the app! I have some products from the Philips Hue family but this hub in form of a cloud is really unique and I am sure some people would buy it just because it is a wonderful lamp. There are only 2 issues that I hope will be fixed soon: The IFTTT support is not available yet and the Apple Watch app is not supporting the ‘light switch add-on’ mode (on/off setting). After all I really recommend this innovative product!

I use their smart gadgets to automate everything! Temperature too high, IR Blaster (their Hub) turn on AC. Humidity too high, finger robot push dehumidifier power button. They even have smart WiFi Plug. Most crazy thing is the awesome Alexa and IFTTT integration, now I voice control nearly everything in my house with dozens of the button pushers, 3 IR blasters, 8 therm-hygrometers. No replacement, can you image that? App is stable.

The app quickly walked through what needed to be done to link it to my WiFi and then set it up for my particular LG mini split. I have full control of the mini split from my phone from anywhere, exactly what I needed.

Yes I have selected “Disable Bluetooth status reminder“ but it still pops up with reminders randomly all the time. Pretty annoying. The rest of the app is kind of confusing and vague too. I could really do without the app completely. At least the bot plays nice with my IFTTT, Google Assistant and Shortcuts.
