The SwitchBot Lock Pro is the latest version of the brand's retrofit smart lock that will provide users with a simple yet effective way to upgrade their home security capabilities. The unit works by being installed over a variety of existing locks where it will go to work offering access via the user's smartphone thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, while one of the brand's hubs are required for WiFi connectivity. The system can be paired with the SwitchBot Hub Mini Matter Enabled to help users incorporate Matter support.

The SwitchBot Lock Pro features an aluminum alloy construction for enhanced durability that will also look quite stylish when installed on the interior portion of entryway doors. The unit is now powered by four AA batteries that can be accessed via a magnetic cover.
