TOKYO, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SwitchBot, a rising brand in smart home automation and retrofitting, proudly announces the launch of two groundbreaking new products—SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo and SwitchBot Hub 3—designed to deliver a smarter, safer, and more seamless home automation experience.
SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo & Hub 3
SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo
The new SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is the world’s first retrofittable smart lock with 3D facial recognition, featuring the SwitchBot Lock Ultra, Keypad Vision, and Hub Mini Matter Enabled.
Highlighting its innovation is the 3D facial recognition system, which employs over 30,000 infrared points to create a high-resolution, millimeter-level facial map for authentication. Recognition is instantaneous—within one second—and highly secure, with a false recognition rate of less than 0.0001% and facial maps secured locally with an AES-128 bank-level encryption system. The system functions reliably in a wide range of conditions, including low-light environments, due to the built-in 850nm infrared light.
With up to 18 unlocking methods—including facial recognition, auto unlock, NFC cards, semi-conductive fingerprint recognition, app control, and voice commands—SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo offers unmatched versatility. Designed for nearly universal compatibility, the device can be installed on 99.9% of existing locks, such as Night Latch, Mortise, and Jimmy Proof etc., without the need for drilling or structural modification.
The FastUnlock™ system ensures near-instant unlocking by maintaining an always-on Bluetooth connection with the Keypad Vision. Equipped with an advanced motor that is 122.2% faster and 10.5% stronger in torque than its predecessor, it offers a remarkably quiet operation, measuring as low as 20 dB while working on its own, and precise control. In addition to the various modes of High Speed, Default, and Quiet, the Lock Ultra Vision Combo also provides a specially designed Night Mode, enabling auto locking at a specific time, creating an even quieter door entry experience at nighttime.
Moreover, SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo also features a three-tier battery design designed for maximum resilience that includes a large rechargeable main battery that could last up to 9 to 12 months, a backup CR123A cell, and an electrolytic emergency unlocking system for the most ultra reliability even in emergencies when the main battery is out of power. Meanwhile, the device also boasts an elegant, ultra-thin design with three wooden pattern pads and a 6-tier security system for ultimate peace of mind with ultra security.
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo will be available on SwitchBot’s official website and Amazon stores for $249.99/£299.99/€299.99/$349.99 (CAD).

Completing the new offerings, the SwitchBot Hub 3 serves as a powerful, Matter-enabled smart home control hub. SwitchBot Hub 3 can integrate with over 100,000 infrared (IR) devices, streaming TVs, and the SwitchBot ecosystem, meanwhile, it can also bring SwitchBot products to Matter.
Moreover, the device can also send up to 30 programmable commands to activate automation scenes consisting of Matter-compatible products from other brands that are already integrated into Apple Home, providing users with a centralized, intuitive interface to manage their entire home.
The device features the exclusive Dial Master™ rotary controller, enabling ultra-precise control over volume, temperature, and more. In addition, it offers customizable scene buttons and real-time indoor/outdoor environmental data monitoring. Meanwhile, the Hub 3 is also capable of creating custom automation routines, supporting energy-saving behaviors and enhanced user comfort through the combination of built-in sensors and preset criteria.
