The Switchbot is a great no frills product. It works well in switching my ducted AC on/off exactly as promised. I’ve had only a couple of times where the unit hasn’t responded from a wifi command via the app, but both times the app told me that the request hadn’t gone through, so I wasn’t waiting for it to do something that it hadn’t done. I’ve setup an automation using the temp sensor, which so far is working well (early days). It’d be good to have a little bit more flexibility in the automation but overall no complaints. It saved me having to buy a $3500 upgrade to make my AC smart!

Impressed by how the features work as advertised and how simple it was to get everything setup.

I have these stupid light switches which cannot be replaced. So I use the bots with them. The bots are now tied to an Alexa routine which turns them on 30 minutes before sunset, and off when needed or an hour before sunrise.

I am a happy camper though I do worry about the uncommon battery type in these bots and how often I will have to replace it.

I guess we will find out!
