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. This expansion includes the SwitchBot Hub 3, which was first announced in a filing with the Communications Standards Alliance last week.
Many of these integrations will be coming in April, according to a list on SwitchBot’s website, which includes the K10 Plus Pro robot vacuum cleaner, Curtain 3 smart curtains, and garage door opener. They will join other SwitchBot devices that have home assistant integration, such as the SwitchBot Lock Pro.
Given its diverse and growing collection of smart home products, SwitchBot’s commitment to integrating so many devices is great news for users of the open source Home Assistant platform. Community-created integrations that allow devices from major smart home players to work with Home Assistant can be fragile, as companies make undocumented changes to the software or actively fight to prevent these integrations from working at all.
