Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | The shade isn't itself Matter-certified as far as we found. SwitchBot lists Roller Shade under Matter over Bridge, through Hub 2 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled.[1],[4] |
| Apple Home | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled | SwitchBot's UK page says Roller Shade supports Matter and Apple HomeKit with a Hub 2, and its Matter article adds Hub Mini Matter Enabled. Apple Home also needs a home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV.[1],[2],[4] |
| Google Home | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled | The UK page names Google Assistant; SwitchBot's Matter article says it syncs to the Google Home app through Hub 2 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled.[1],[2] |
| Amazon Alexa | Via SwitchBot Hub 2 | The UK page names Alexa and says smart home integration needs a SwitchBot Hub 2 (sold separately).[1] |
| SmartThings | Unconfirmed | SwitchBot's Roller Shade pages don't mention SmartThings. |
| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant's SwitchBot Bluetooth integration lists Roller Shade as a cover (position only) and connects locally, without SwitchBot Cloud. The Home Assistant host needs Bluetooth.[5],[6] |
“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.

- Radio: SwitchBot's Home Assistant page lists Roller Shade under its Bluetooth integration. The UK product page doesn't name the radio.
- Hub: SwitchBot names a Hub 2 for Matter and smart home integration and lists app, remote and wired-controller control, but doesn't say whether the app works without a hub.
- Local control: Through Home Assistant's Bluetooth integration, which doesn't use SwitchBot Cloud. SwitchBot's own pages don't describe local control.
- Moves: Fits windows 22.8 to 72.8 inches wide, in sizes S to XL; the fabric is replaceable.
- Fits your existing curtain or blind: Sold as a complete motorised shade. SwitchBot also mentions keeping your current curtains by upgrading only the motor unit; this record covers the complete shade.
- Power: Up to 8 months per charge for a single shade (about 6 months in a group), per SwitchBot's tests. The solar panel is optional and sold separately.
Before you buy
- Matter, Apple Home and voice assistants need a SwitchBot Hub 2 (or Hub Mini Matter Enabled for Matter), sold separately.
