About

SwitchBee is a centralized platform that enables control over a range of devices such as switches and sockets. It utilizes cloud technology and a secure server for operations. By installing SwitchBee's smart module, any switch can be transformed into a smart switch within a few minutes. The module is easily connected to the switch using provided wires and basic assembly instructions.

The central system is connected to the home Internet and communicates with the smart units via radio frequency transmission. Through the SwitchBee app, commands are sent from a mobile phone to the central unit either through Wi-Fi or cellular network (LTE/3G), depending on the phone's location.
