SwitchBot Bot Smart Button Pusher
A tiny robotic finger that physically presses real buttons — turn any rocker switch, coffee machine, doorbell or appliance into a smart, app-controlled device, no rewiring needed.
Bluetooth + 3M Stick-On600-Day CR2 BatteryPress / Switch ModeUp to 8N press
SwitchBot Bot is a compact Bluetooth-controlled mechanical "finger" that mounts next to almost any button, rocker switch or toggle and presses it on demand. Stick it onto a wall switch, a coffee machine, a doorbell, an air conditioner or even a garage opener with the included 3M sticker, pair it to the SwitchBot app over Bluetooth, and you can press, schedule or automate that switch from your phone — without rewiring or replacing the original device. Powered by a single CR2 lithium battery, it runs for up to 600 days at typical use (twice per day at 25 °C). Pair it with a SwitchBot Hub for remote control over Wi-Fi, voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, and Apple HomeKit support through Matter when used with SwitchBot Hub 2.
Compatibility Note: Bot uses Bluetooth Low Energy out of the box. Voice control, scenes, remote control over the internet and Apple HomeKit / Matter all require a separate SwitchBot Hub (Hub Mini or Hub 2 — sold separately). For most rocker switches and one-way buttons; not suitable for keypads, sliders or touch surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a SwitchBot Hub?
Not for basic Bluetooth control via the SwitchBot app within range. You do need a SwitchBot Hub Mini or Hub 2 for remote control over the internet, voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri), schedules from outside Bluetooth range and Matter / Apple HomeKit support.
Will it work with my light switch?
It works with most rocker and one-way push button switches. For two-position rocker switches, attach the small add-on lever (included) so Bot can both press and pull. It is not suitable for capacitive / touch switches or sliders.
Is the battery rechargeable?
No. This model uses a replaceable CR2 lithium battery (included). With typical use of about two presses per day at room temperature it lasts up to 600 days. SwitchBot also offers a separate Bot Rechargeable variant if you prefer USB charging.
Will the 3M sticker damage my wall or switch?
The 3M adhesive is designed for clean removal from most painted, plastic and metal surfaces, but results vary by surface and time. For sensitive finishes test on a small area first.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose Bot when the device you want to make smart cannot be replaced or rewired — a coffee machine, a wall switch in a rented apartment, or any old appliance with a rocker switch. If you mainly want voice control of light switches you already plan to replace, a smart relay or smart light bulb is usually neater. For full smart-home integration with Bot (HomeKit, Alexa cloud, schedules from anywhere) plan for a SwitchBot Hub Mini or Hub 2 alongside it.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want to make a non-smart switch, button or appliance app-controlled without rewiring or replacing it.
Skip it if
Your device uses a touch / capacitive control, or you prefer a permanent in-wall smart switch with a wired install.
Also consider
SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable for USB-C charging, or pair Bot with SwitchBot Hub Mini / Hub 2 for voice and remote control.
