I had the idea to wifi enable my garage door and gate. I used 2 switchbots to automatically press the buttons on my garage door remote control. I used Legos to build an enclosed housing to hold the garage door opener and switchbots in place. Worked like a charm and easy to set up. Building the Lego enclosure was the hardest part.
Looking for a non-invasive method (i.e., a secondary card, Wake on LAN, or others) of turning my computer on with Alexa commands, I chose the SwitchBot Hub and SwitchBot Bot (in the combo) for the task.
Setup was easy, and incorporation with Alexa was simple too.
My computer's power button takes a bit more pressure, or is deeper than the Bot can press, but adding a little more material to the end gave it enough down-force/distance to make it work and it's fantastic, working every time.
I haven't bought into the rest of the ecosystem yet, but this was the primary reason for the purchase, and after a week, it is still working wonderfully as planned.
Works great for automating a non-smart panel. Responsive with a good build quality.
I used the Switchbot bots to automated my garage doors now that Chamberlain decided to el8m8n6 their API. They were so easy to setup. It took me less than a half hour.
I have used the bot to make my projector screen smart, and the versatile and easy to use hub has turned watching a film from four remotes to just one.
Easy to setup and connect it to your google account to trigger automations from everywhere.
