Introduction: Smart Home from “Operation” to “Autonomy”

In 2026, common sense of smart home changed.

“Turn off light with smartphone” is already old. Current trend is ‘House does it voluntarily’.

SwitchBot ecosystem evolved to level where maintains comfortable environment even if you do not operate anything by combining sensors and AI.

ℹ️

Evolution points in 2026 : Matter Full Support, Image Recognition by AI Hub, Direct Water Connection Ecosystem

1. Central Nervous System: Choosing SwitchBot Hub

SwitchBot Hub 2 (Basic)

SwitchBot Hub 2

Hub cum Thermo-hygrometer supporting Matter. IoT-ize AC and TV with infrared remote control function. One-touch operation possible with smart button equipped. If in doubt, this first.

[NEW] SwitchBot AI Hub (Evolved Version)

SwitchBot AI Hub (VLM Equipped)

Latest hub equipped with large scale AI model. Context understanding became possible by linking with camera, like 'Dim lights if person sleeps on sofa', 'Record and notify if pet rampages'.

Which to choose? :

  • Hub 2 : Ordinary 1LDK, person who only needs temperature and humidity management
  • AI Hub : Family with pets or children, person who wants to do advanced automation

2. Revolution of Water Section: S10 Robot Vacuum

SwitchBot S10 Robot Vacuum (Fully Automatic Water Supply/Drainage)

World's first, even 'Water Replacement' became unnecessary with direct water connection. Garbage collection, mop cleaning, drying fully automatic. Revolutionary machine that eliminated labor of 'Water Management' from cleaning.

Linkage Technique :

  • Water supply to humidifier : S10 draws water from water tap, transports and supplies to humidifier (To zero manual water supply)

3. Automation of Air Conditioning

Evaporative Humidifier + Hub 2

SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier (Thermo-hygrometer Plus)

Evaporative type that humidifies by hitting wind on filter. No worry of condensation due to over-humidification. Electricity bill is also super cheap. Supports automatic water supply by linking with S10.

Automation Example :

  1. Trigger : Humidity of Hub 2 becomes 40% or less
  2. Action : Humidifier ON (Wind volume max)
  3. Trigger : Humidity exceeds 55%
  4. Action : Humidifier OFF

With this, prevents drying in winter and breeding of viruses.

4. Smartization of Old Home Appliances

Plug Mini

SwitchBot Plug Mini

Just by plugging into outlet, IoT-ize non-smart appliances (fan, electric blanket, coffee maker). Visualization of electricity bill possible with power consumption monitor function.

Utilization Idea :

  • Overcharge Prevention : OFF when 100% to prevent overcharge of smartphone
  • Standby Power Cut : OFF standby power of TV and PC peripherals at midnight

5. Strongest “I’m Leaving” Automation

It is wasteful to check “Did I turn off lights? Locked door? How about AC?” when going out.

👉

'I'm Leaving' Button (or Voice)

Just press button of Hub 2 at entrance.

💡

All Lighting/Appliances OFF

Stop lighting, TV, AC all at once.

🧹

Start Cleaning

S10 starts cleaning (Finish while no one is there).

🔒

Security ON

Indoor camera activates monitoring mode. Check door lock.

Conclusion: House is something to “Raise”

Charm of SwitchBot ecosystem lies in point that house becomes smarter every time parts are added.

Recommendation is to start with Hub 2 and Bot (Finger Robot) first, and gradually spread to Curtain, Vacuum.

In 2026, leave all troublesome housework to AI and robots, and let’s use time for what you originally wanted to do.
