Do I need a hub to use Alexa, Google Home, or HomeKit?
Reviewer consensus
For SwitchBot's clip-on curtain robots, yes — out of the box they speak Bluetooth, and a SwitchBot Hub Mini or Hub 2 is required to bridge them to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. Newer Matter-over-Thread track systems like the Remac M1 advertise direct platform compatibility without a separate hub, though Reddit threads note Matter setups for curtains are still maturing.
