SwitchBot Showcases Smart Home 2.0 Vision at CES 2026 with Humanoid Robot and AI-Powered Devices

SwitchBot has revealed its entire product lineup for CES 2026, featuring the company’s first humanoid household robot and a range of AI-enhanced smart home devices. The company is presenting these releases as part of its broader “Smart Home 2.0” strategy, which focuses on merging artificial intelligence with robotics to develop more advanced home automation systems.

SwitchBot will be showcasing its new products at booth #52655 in Halls A-D Smart Home at the Venetian Expo during CES 2026. Visitors can expect to see the new products alongside SwitchBot’s existing ecosystem of smart home devices.

The highlight of SwitchBot’s presence at CES 2026 is the Onero H1, described as the company’s first general-use humanoid robot. Unlike traditional robots that handle specific tasks or replace single appliances, the Onero H1 is designed to tackle a wide range of household chores that are typically challenging to automate.

Equipped with 22 degrees of freedom, the Onero H1 offers the flexibility needed to handle various household tasks. It utilizes multiple Intel RealSense cameras strategically positioned at the head, arms, hands, and abdomen for visual perception. This multi-camera setup enables the robot to develop a comprehensive understanding of the objects it interacts with, including their position, shape, and current state.

At the core of the Onero H1’s intelligence is SwitchBot’s OmniSense VLA (Vision-Language-Action) Model, an in-house AI system that operates directly on the device. This on-device processing allows the robot to learn and adapt to different household scenarios without relying solely on cloud-based computing. SwitchBot claims that this approach ensures more dependable performance across everyday actions such as grasping objects, pushing, opening doors, and organizing items.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with SwitchBot’s existing lineup of smart home products, the Onero H1 can work alongside the company’s task-specific devices rather than operating in isolation. SwitchBot has announced that the Onero H1 and its robotic arms, known as the A1, will be available for pre-order through the company’s website, although specific pricing and availability dates have not been disclosed.

SwitchBot is making waves with its Lock Vista series, which includes the world’s first deadbolt smart lock featuring 3D structured-light facial recognition technology. With two models available – the standard Lock Vista and the advanced Lock Vista Pro – users can enjoy cutting-edge security features and biometric options.

The facial recognition system in the Lock Vista series uses over 20,000 infrared dots to create millimetre-level 3D facial maps. SwitchBot boasts that the system can unlock within one second with an extremely low false-recognition rate of less than 0.0001%. The technology is designed to prevent spoofing attempts using photographs or video recordings through 3D liveness detection.

The Lock Vista Pro model introduces contactless palm print recognition as an alternative biometric option. This feature utilizes near-infrared sensing to read internal vascular patterns beneath the skin’s surface. SwitchBot assures users that this technology can function even when hands are gloved, slightly dirty, wet, or in low-light conditions. It’s important to note that fingerprint recognition is exclusive to the Lock Vista Pro model and is not available on the standard Lock Vista.

In terms of power management and battery life, the Lock Vista series incorporates DualPower and DualBackup systems. The primary power source is a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery that can run for up to six months on a single charge. A secondary CR123A battery serves as backup power, offering up to five years of standby time with approximately 500 emergency unlocks. Additionally, a Type-C port on the keypad surface allows users to temporarily power the lock from an external source in emergency situations.

To extend battery life, the Lock Vista series employs millimetre wave radar for power management. The lock remains in a low-power state until the radar detects someone approaching, at which point it activates the recognition systems. The SwitchBot app provides battery level monitoring and sends notifications when power is running low. The lock itself can also play audio alerts.

Connectivity and compatibility are essential features of the Lock Vista series, which supports Matter-over-WiFi connectivity. This means users do not require a separate Matter-enabled hub to integrate the lock with compatible smart home platforms. SwitchBot has stated that Apple Home support is in the works, although certification was still pending at the time of the announcement.

With up to 19 different unlock methods available, including facial recognition, fingerprint and palm print recognition (Lock Vista Pro only), passcode entry, NFC, geo-fence-based unlocking, and control through the SwitchBot app, users have a variety of options to access their smart lock.

Both models in the Lock Vista series boast IP65 water and dust protection, making them suitable for exterior doors exposed to weather conditions. SwitchBot assures users that the locks feature six-layer encryption for data security. The devices are designed to fit most standard deadbolt locks, accommodating door thicknesses between 35mm and 55mm, cross-bore hole diameters of 38mm or 54mm, and backset distances of 60mm or 70mm.

SwitchBot is expanding its product range with the introduction of the AI MindClip, a portable AI assistant designed to capture and organize spoken information. Weighing just 18 grams, the MindClip can be worn or clipped to clothing, allowing users to record conversations, meetings, and everyday interactions throughout the day.

Functioning as a personal audio knowledge database, the MindClip transforms spoken content into searchable, structured information with the help of AI processing. Users can query their recorded content using natural language, enabling them to retrieve information from past discussions or recall forgotten details. The MindClip supports over 100 languages for transcription and processing, all while ensuring end-to-end encryption for data security.

Moving beyond home automation, SwitchBot is unveiling the Weather Station, a 7.5-inch E-Ink display that consolidates environmental information and daily planning tools into a single device. Equipped with built-in sensors for monitoring indoor temperature and humidity, the Weather Station also displays time, date, sunrise and sunset times, air quality readings, and a six-day weather forecast sourced from online services.

SwitchBot has included AI-powered weather briefings on the Weather Station, providing daily insights and recommendations based on local weather conditions. Additionally, the display showcases “weather-related inspirational quotes” as part of its rotation. The Weather Station supports calendar integration across multiple platforms and can serve as a control point for SwitchBot scenes, although this functionality requires a compatible SwitchBot hub.

The OBBOTO is an LED-based desk lamp that serves as an ambient lighting companion. Featuring over 2,900 individual RGB LEDs arranged across its curved surface, the spherical device can display smooth colour gradients, pixel art, dynamic animations, and expressive visual patterns. Equipped with a motion sensor, the OBBOTO responds to movement, touch, and sound through music visualization features, offering dedicated modes for different activities like sleep, focus, relaxation, meditation, and general ambience.

Users can personalize the OBBOTO through the SwitchBot app, which provides access to over 100 preset animations and supports user-uploaded pixel art and GIF files for customized visual content.

In addition to these products, SwitchBot will be showcasing the Acemate Tennis Robot at CES 2026, representing the company’s foray into sports and fitness technology with an AI tennis robot designed to deliver a real-rally experience.

SwitchBot’s CES 2026 announcements highlight the company’s “Smart Home 2.0” vision, which aims to create an ecosystem where AI and robotics collaborate to anticipate and address household needs more effectively. The company is committed to integrating its product lineup to ensure seamless interactions between devices, with the Onero H1 robot being a prime example of this integration with existing SwitchBot devices like the video doorbell, wallet finder card, and safety alarm systems.
