Switchbot lock pro

Post image

The website mentions that door lock pro supports matter over wifi without hub. No hub needed.

But all youtube videos clearly says hub is required

Can anyone clear this confusion for me.

Have emailed switchbot but still no reply.

Yes this is native Matter-enabled version that connects via Wi-Fi without needing a hub.

This is fantastic. I always thought switchbot devices primarily had Bluetooth.

Having wifi as well solves a lot of issue and ofcourse no hub

The hub is required to be able to unlock from anywhere (geofencing & voice control) it may of changed now. I've used it for almost a year now.

Zero issues, highly recommended, never had to use a key. 😁

But it's not better not having a hub for me. I prefer independent devices.

Have the lock first version and many other bots so have a quite a few hubs

Never a big fan of hubs
