+Please welcome the latest addition to the [Works with Home Assistant](https://works-with.home-assistant.io/) program, [SwitchBot!](https://www.switch-bot.com/) This year has seen a lot of 'firsts' within the program, and this launch certainly keeps up this trend. Read on to see the first *Air Purifiers* and *Vacuums / Cleaning Robots*! What's more, SwitchBot is bringing this first set of devices into the program with multiple connectivity options. Pick from their [Bluetooth integration](/integrations/switchbot/), Matter via a hub, or standalone Matter devices as well. All this gives you even more choice in how you set up your smart home, while providing the best experience with Home Assistant.
+
+## Making the Switch...Bot
+
+SwitchBot quickly gained traction in the smart home industry with their original finger bots, which sit over non-smart switches and physically press them down on your behalf. Since then, they've expanded to include many other smart home devices like curtain robots, hubs, air purifiers, and cleaning robots. We were excited to see these new products in person at CES earlier this year and meet up with their team.
+
+SwitchBot even got involved with [Community Day](/blog/2025/06/24/community-day-2025-wrap-up/), hosting a meet-up in Shenzhen, China. We love that the 'Works with' partners show that they're passionate about engaging with our community, taking the partnership much further than just a label on a box.
