Switchbot in Apple Homekit?

Hey, so they actually do now sell a retrofit for horizontal blinds, called "SwitchBot Blind Tilt". Would be cool if you tested them out because it seems like the cheapest solution (that I could find) and you don't have to take down your existing blinds. Doesn't mention HomeKit though.

Hi Brad, I have the same airexchanger controller. Did you use a seperate humidity sensor within home kit like the EVE? And if so was it easy to automate?

Hey Brad. I just took the plunge and ordered a couple of switchbot hubs and bots. Fingers crossed they do what I’m hoping for which will mean I don’t need to delve into HomeBridge or HOOBS for now. We’ll see. Anywho, I just watched another video to see if the bot was likely to fit on the coffee machine I’m about to buy and he mentioned the issue with buttons with raised edges or big ones it can’t quite press down enough. He suggested bumpons. I bet they would work on your coffee machine.

Brad, hopefully you know that Home Assistant can do the same things that HomeBridge can, and much much more. I used to use HomeBridge until I switched over... they can also be used in conjunction. Food for thought...

I bought a VOCOlinc humidifier which is great it integrates with HomeKit very easy. I think is a better option since it doesn’t requires a hub like the SwitchBot.

When using HOOBS to control the Switchbot Bots, have you noticed if it really needs to be kinda close to your HOOBS box since it’s using BLE or is it working nicely even if they are far apart from each other?

Thanks

Hi, I have a Heimvision Greets C1 video doorbell, Apple TV 4, an old 2010 MacBook Pro running High Sierra. Can you please tell me if I can use all this devices to work with HomeKit, to control my video doorbell using this method from.this video or any other method. Please let me know
Merry Christmas!
I want to receive a thumbnail on Apple Watch notifications when someone rings the doorbell.

I've got a boatload of smart switches, outlets, and bulbs all working with numerous sensors. I'm very much into smart home automation. But I don’t think you could pay me to stick those clunky button pushers or curtain opening bots all around my home. Thanks for the great videos, Brad - always informative.
But most of those devices are just too ugly and obtrusive in their design.

apply an extra layer of double-sided tape to make the SwitchBot taller

Thank u for continuous nice vids … I used to like this brand .. but gave up on them … they seem to be not interested in HomeKit nor thread ! I tweeted them about this and their answer didn’t show any interest… their devices are still working on Bluetooth and they require a special hub … integrating with hoobs isn’t always relatable nor responsive … basically to sum that up … it’s everything a HomeKit-user doesn’t like in one brand … I hope the competitors like Aqara / eve come up with alternatives to what switch-bot is offering

I thought that was a great idea my range hood is left on all the time but if my wife saw the switch stuck on the front of her range hood she would not be happy
