SwitchBot will integrate more than 45 of its products with Home Assistant during the first half of this year, the company said in an email to The Verge. That expansion includes The SwitchBot Hub 3 that was first revealed in a filing with the Connectivity Standards Alliance last week.
Many of these integrations are coming in April, according to a list on SwitchBot’s website that includes the Robot Vacuum K10 Plus Pro, Curtain 3 smart shades, and its garage door opener. They will join other SwitchBot devices that have Home Assistant integration, like the SwitchBot Lock Pro.
Given its varied and ever-growing collection of smart home products, SwitchBot‘s commitment to integrate so many devices is great news for users of the open-source Home Assistant platform. The community-created integrations that let devices from the biggest smart home players work with Home Assistant can be fragile as companies make undocumented software adjustments or actively fight to keep those integrations from working at all.
