1 / 7SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher SwitchBot-C1, Rechargeable
The SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher SwitchBot-C1 is a rechargeable fingerbot for operating compatible rocker switches and buttons without rewiring. Bluetooth app control and schedules work locally, while remote control, voice integration and Matter support depend on a compatible SwitchBot Hub. It is intended for accessible, movable controls rather than touch panels or stiff buttons.
At a glance
- Press Mode is described for buttons, while Switch Mode uses a pull-tab attachment with compatible rocker switches.
- Timers configured in the SwitchBot app can run without a phone nearby or a Hub.
- Bluetooth provides local control. Remote operation, supported voice assistants and Matter integration need a compatible Hub.
- The rechargeable CR2 battery is removed for USB-C charging. Battery life varies with usage, mode and environment.

What to know before buying
- Mount on a clean, flat, dry and firm surface with adequate arm clearance, away from heat. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to bond before regular use. The stated maximum pressing force is 8 N.
- The Bot does not connect directly to Wi-Fi. Walls, metal and distance may affect Bluetooth connectivity. Apple Home use requires a supported Matter-enabled Hub and compatible setup.
Listing details to confirm
The listing says the product supports Matter with a Hub and separately specifies Bluetooth and Matter as connection protocols. Confirm the required Hub and ecosystem compatibility for the intended setup. Battery-life claims vary by use and environment, and an older A+ claim of 600 days refers to a replaceable battery rather than a clear estimate for this rechargeable configuration.
