The Breville takes around 20–30 minutes to fully warm up, so being able to either schedule it or turn it on from bed before going downstairs has been awesome. By the time I get to the kitchen, the machine is warmed up and ready to go. Setup was easy and the button press has been reliable for me. I also live in a two-story house, and it still reaches from my upstairs bedroom to the kitchen without issues. I’m not sure exactly how far the distance is, but there are walls and obstacles between the bedroom and the machine, and it still works really well. It’s a simple product, but once you start using it, you realize how useful it actually is for everyday stuff. One thing I would like to see improved is the activity log synchronization in the app. Since my Breville automatically shuts off after about an hour, I sometimes like checking the logs just to confirm the scheduled press or activation went through. The feature works, but sometimes the timestamps seem delayed or not fully synced in real time. Not a dealbreaker at all, but better log syncing would make an already great product even better. Overall though, this thing has been awesome for my setup and easily deserves 5 stars from me. Review: Great product you want one when you have a good push button appliance that you want to run on timer - Incredibly versatile tool for things that are set up more analog. My espresso machine can't take a timer but has a push button switch. Espresso machines need to warm up 10-15 minutes to make good Espresso--saw this and solved problems. The app works great via bluetooth --and you can even repurpose and old phone if you wish to run this--but why? ## Features - Make any supported switch “smart” without rewiring — Control rocker switches & one-way buttons from your phone for bedroom lights, fans, or appliances you don’t want to get up to reach. Please note: Not compatible with capacitive touch panels, toggle/mini switches, or stiff/aged buttons. Ensure the button type is within the supported range for optimal performance. - App control + built-in timers that keep running — Set on/off schedules for morning coffee routines or nightly shutoffs — schedules run in the SwitchBot app without needing your phone nearby or a hub once set. - Bluetooth control included; Hub adds voice + away control — Use Bluetooth for local control, or add a SwitchBot Hub (sold separately) for remote control + voice control (Alexa/Google Assistant/Siri) and IFTTT — 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi required for hub features - Fast, tool-free install with stronger hold when you prep right — Stick it on in seconds with included adhesive — for best results, mount on clean, dry, smooth surfaces and allow 24 hours for full bonding before heavy use. 1-Year Warranty with Free Replacement for Quality Issues: This product comes with a 1-year warranty starting from the date of purchase. During the warranty period, if any product quality issues occur causing malfunctions or improper functioning, you can contact SwitchBot Customer Support to request a free replacement. Enjoy peace of mind with reliable after-sales support. - Choose the right mode for the job — Use Press Mode for button presses; use Switch Mode for pushing/pulling rocker switches (Switch Mode requires an add-on) — plus scenes and ecosystem automation via the SwitchBot app and API. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B4D9KVX | | Actuator Type | Push Button | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,395 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #5 in Home Automation Hubs & Controllers | | Brand | SwitchBot | | Brand Name | SwitchBot | | Circuit Type | 1-way | | Color | Midnight Black | | Compatible Devices | Rocker switches, one-way switches | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | | Connector Type | Clamp | | Contact Material | Plastic | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Control Method | Voice | | Control Type | Full | | Controller Type | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, homekit, vera | | Current Rating | 1 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 6,271 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00860038001710 | | Included Components | Electrical Controls; electronic-component-pushbutton-switches | | International Protection Rating | IP00 | | Item Dimensions | 1.67 x 1.44 x 0.94 inches | | Item Weight | 39 g | | Lower Temperature Rating | 1 Kelvin | | Manufacturer | Wonderlabs | | Material Type | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Model | Switchbot S1 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Positions | 2 | | Operating Voltage | 3 volts | | Operation Mode | ON-OFF-ON | | Part Number | SWITCHBOT-S1 | | Specification Met | CE | | Switch Type | Rocker Button,one-way Switch | | Terminal | Screw | | UPC | 860038001710 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 80 °C | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Wattage | 400 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SwitchBot - **Connector Type:** Clamp - **Contact Type:** Normally Open - **Current Rating:** 1 A - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.67 x 1.44 x 0.94 inches - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene - **Operating Voltage:** 3 volts - **Operation Mode:** ON-OFF-ON - **Switch Type:** Rocker Button,one-way Switch - **Terminal:** Screw ## Images ![smart switch button with timer app controlled wifi switch DIY tools (with a Hub compatible with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tcRe2imaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Description says "no hub needed". So why the switch boy hub does exist then?** A: No hub is needed as Switchbots are Bluetooth and can connect directly to your phone. Because they connect directly to your phone this only gives you local control. The SwitchBot Hub acts as a bridge between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi giving you remote access to your switchbot **Q: Please clarify when I need to buy the hub vs. buying just the switch?** A: If you just want to control a rocker switch or a button either with your mobile phone (via free app and Bluetooth), or set timers inside, the you don’t necessarily need the SwitchBot Hub. If you want to make the SwitchBots work with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT and more, or just for remote control, then the Hub is necessary as a Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway. **Q: Can i control it using amazon echo or google home?** A: Yes. I use all my SwitchBots with Amazon Echo. I do not have Google Home, but the literature indicates that it will work with Google Home as well. You do need to purchase a SwitchBot Hub, however, it order to use with either Google or Amazon. **Q: Can I use this to remotely press my computer's power button to toggle it on or off?** A: Remotely: Yes. 1) Official and Simple Solution - SwitchBot Hub If you have at least one "SwitchBot Hub" (the Hub) near SwitchBots (the Bots), which is a Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway and a rainbow color night light, then you could control your Bots from anywhere with Internet connection. Order a SwitchBot Hub on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2QVBFN or https://www.switch-bot.com/store. 2) Bluetooth - 80 meters (260 foots) SwitchBot itself is based on Bluetooth (BLE) with a (tested and verified) range of 80 meters (260 foots) in the open filed. 3) DIY - any Bluetooth to Wi-Fi gateway SwitchBot has an open API available for makers to customize and integrate with Raspberry Pi and many others. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Espresso Machines and Daily Routines *by P***M on May 27, 2026* I bought the SwitchBot Bot mainly to automate the power button on my Breville Barista Express and honestly it’s been one of my favorite small smart home purchases.

My espresso machine can't take a timer but has a push button switch. Espresso machines need to warm up 10-15 minutes to make good Espresso--saw this and solved problems. The app works great via bluetooth --and you can even repurpose and old phone if you wish to run this--but why? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I want to like it, I really do. You'll need the hub to really use these. *by E***D on April 5, 2021* Ok, let's start with the first thing. These are cute little button pushers. There is something satisfying about the little "finger" popping out and pushing a button. That's about it. If you want to use this with any other smart home system, Google Home, SmartThings, etc., you'll need one of their hubs. Depending on how many "bots" you are using and how far apart they are, you may need multiple hubs. I purchased two of the switchbots and immediately was hit with, download the app, control them with Bluetooth. That's not what I wanted to do, as I have a fairly large investment in SmartThings. So, I sucked it up and ordered the hub. (just the plain square one, not the pretty cloud hub). Both hubs do the same thing, I needed function, not cutsie. I got the hub and tried to bring my two "bots" into my SmartThings universe. This was more painful than it should be. I would add one and then the next and the first would go offline. I don't know how many times it took me to get them both loaded and online at the same time, but it was quite a few. The SmartThings integration said beta or something, but I was able to get them integrated pretty easily. I setup a scene in SmartThings to control them. This is where things could be better. The scene runs just fine, but sometimes the "bots" are asleep or playing video games or who knows what. I get about a 95% of the time working, but there is no acknowledgement message that is sent back so SmartThings just tosses the ball to the "bot" and hopes everything works ok. The biggest issue is just that, if it doesn't work, you have to "sync" the bot back to the app manually. So, if it doesn't turn on the device, and SmartThings thinks it is on, then you have to turn the device on manually or the next command will do the opposite function. I have a pretty good success rate on the first action, it does ok turning the devices on, it's the off that I get about a 95% on one bot and 50% success rate on the other. This is ok for what it's doing, but if it was some mission critical device I was trying to control, 50% success is pretty low. Would I buy them again? Maybe. They do mostly work, but keep in mind that you'll need a hub to control these "bots" with anything other than your phone, and within Bluetooth range to do that. Since there is no positive or negative feed back (ACK/NAK) to your smart home, it's about as reliable as telling an 8 year old to wash the dishes. Now for more on the hub, I got the smaller square hub, but it has a really annoying bright white light that stays on all the time, I have this in my bedroom so I have to put something on top of the box to cover the light. You can still see the box "glowing" so I can tell it's on. Not the best thing I've added to my smart home, but it tries and sometimes works. I just wish there was someway to get an acknowledgement to my SmartThings universe, so I could reliably tell the status. I get that it's a digital world trying to interface with the analog world, but it could be just a bit better. ## Frequently Bought Together - SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher - Bluetooth Fingerbot for Rocker Switch/One-Way Button, Automatic Light Switch, Timer and APP Control, Works with Alexa When Paired with SwitchBot Hub (Black) - SwitchBot Hub Mini Smart Remote - IR Blaster, Link SwitchBot to Wi-Fi (Support 2.4GHz), Control TV, Air Conditioner, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT - SwitchBot Remote One Touch Button - Compatible with SwitchBot Bot, Curtain Robot, Color Bulb, Plug Mini and Blind Tilt, Smart Home Easy to Control, Bluetooth Long Range 5.0 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://virgin.desertcart.com/products/71266574-smart-switch-button-with-timer-app-controlled-wifi-switch-diy](https://virgin.desertcart.com/products/71266574-smart-switch-button-with-timer-app-controlled-wifi-switch-diy) --- *Product available on Desertcart British Virgin Islands* *Store origin: VG* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
