Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | Not Matter-certified itself. SwitchBot lists it under Matter over Bridge: a SwitchBot Hub Mini Matter Enabled, Hub 2, Hub 3 or AI Hub exposes it to Matter controllers. No CSA listing for the Blind Tilt found.[2],[3] |
| Apple Home | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 | The product page doesn't list Apple Home. SwitchBot's Matter pages list Blind Tilt under Matter over Bridge, through a Hub 2, Hub 3 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled; Apple Home needs a HomePod or Apple TV as home hub.[2],[3] About the SwitchBot Hub 2 (EU) |
| Google Home | Via SwitchBot Hub Mini | The product page lists Google Assistant with a SwitchBot Hub Mini required (sold separately). A Matter-capable SwitchBot hub can also bridge it to Google Home.[1],[3] |
| Amazon Alexa | Via SwitchBot Hub Mini | The product page lists Alexa with a SwitchBot Hub Mini required (sold separately).[1] |
| SmartThings | Via SwitchBot Hub Mini | The product page lists SmartThings with a SwitchBot Hub Mini required (sold separately).[1] |
| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant's official SwitchBot Bluetooth integration lists Blind Tilt and adds it as a cover. It talks to the device directly over Bluetooth, without a SwitchBot hub or cloud; the Home Assistant host needs Bluetooth.[4] |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
