SwitchBot is adding two new pieces to its smart home puzzle with the Lock Ultra Vision Combo and the Hub 3, aiming to make door access and device control smoother than ever. The Lock Ultra Vision Combo is a retrofit smart lock that snaps onto nearly any existing deadbolt—no drilling needed—and brings millimeter-level 3D facial recognition to your front door. It scans over 30,000 infrared points in under a second, works even in low light, and keeps your biometric map locked down with bank-grade encryption. You’ve got 18 ways to get inside, from autoface unlock and NFC cards to fingerprints, app taps, voice commands and even a trusty keypad.
Behind the scenes, a beefed-up motor drives the bolt 122 percent faster and 10 percent harder than before, all while ticking along at just 20 decibels. Night mode dims activity, auto-locks on schedule and a three-tier battery system—rechargeable pack, backup CR123A cell and emergency electrolytic release—means you’ll never be left out in the cold.
Rounding out the launch is the SwitchBot Hub 3, a compact Matter-ready bridge that ties your Lock Ultra Vision, Bot devices and over 10,000 other Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared gadgets into one app. With Thread support and faster local response, it’s designed to keep your home humming even if the internet goes down.
Whether you’re retrofitting an old lock or building a fresh smart-home setup, SwitchBot’s new gear promises more ways in and more ways to keep everything talking—securely and silently.
