In this video, I review the SwitchBot Contact Sensor, a compact smart device designed to detect when doors or windows open and close but able to be used on ANYTHING. I’ll cover the setup process, app features, automations with SwitchBot devices, and real-world performance.
Whether you’re building a smart home or just want better home security, this sensor could be an easy upgrade — especially if you already use the SwitchBot ecosystem.
