The SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable, a smart home device designed to remotely press physical buttons, is available at a lower price through May 10.

The gadget is selling for about $26.99, a $7 discount from its usual $33.99 price. The promotion is available on Amazon and on SwitchBot’s official website, where buyers need to use the code FORHER20.

SwitchBot’s Bot Rechargeable attaches to existing buttons or rocker switches and uses a small arm to press them, allowing users to trigger devices without electrical rewiring. It can be controlled from a smartphone app or set to run on a schedule.

Unlike earlier versions that relied on disposable batteries, the USB-C rechargeable unit is rated to last up to six months per charge under typical, light-use conditions.

Hub options and smart assistant support

SwitchBot also sells the SwitchBot Hub Mini separately for $28.99 (down $11), which enables voice control via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri.

Matter compatibility is available as well, but requires either the SwitchBot Hub Mini Matter-enabled model ($59.99) or the SwitchBot Hub 2.

Recent breakthroughs, such as the achievement of net energy gain at Lawrence Livermore's National Ignition Facility, and a surge in private investment have revitalized the outlook for commercial fusion. However, significant scientific and engineering hurdles remain in sustaining these reactions and building economically viable power plants. The US government is fostering public-private partnerships to accelerate development, but the timeline to grid-scale power remains highly ambitious.
