But a retrofit machine like the SwitchBot Lock Pro isn’t really a “lock,” per se.
It’s essentially just a robot hand that controls your existing deadbolt.
But the SwitchBot Lock Pro takes things a few steps further.
The SwitchBot Lock Pro also gains a “Quick Key” locking system.
SwitchBot also offers a wireless keypad for the Lock Pro.
Out of the box, the SwitchBot Lock Pro only supports single-cylinder deadbolts.
Jimmy-proof and Mortise locks are also supported but require special accessories.
Customers who need these accessories should contact SwitchBot’s customer support team.
Orders begin shipping March 31st.
Note that Apple Home functionality requires the SwitchBot Matter hub, which is an additional purchase.
