SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable
Product
The answer to anything you are not allowed to rewire. This small robot sticks beside a button or rocker switch and presses it on command: a ceiling light, a radiator boost button, an old coffee machine. The rechargeable version announced in April 2026 has a built-in battery charged over USB-C, rated at about six months per charge at one press a day, for $33.99 or £33.99.
On its own it is Bluetooth-only; voice control, remote access and Matter need a SwitchBot hub. Check the switch has room for it to sit alongside.
