Building a smart home offers significant convenience by automating many everyday tasks and chores while keeping you and your family safe and secure. But with smart lighting, indoor and outdoor security cameras, video doorbells, smart door locks, smart appliances, and more, managing everything can quickly become overwhelming. A single central hub is, of course, necessary. But what if it could also do all the management for you? That’s where Switchbot comes in.
SwitchBot, a leading provider of AI-enabled embodied home robotics systems, just unveiled the AI Hub. SwitchBot calls it the world’s first local home AI agent, which makes sense with its OpenClaw support, helping you make your smart home management automation a breeze. There’s plenty to dive into. Here’s what you need to know about the SwitchBot AI Hub!
The SwitchBot AI Hub comes with native OpenClaw support

If you haven’t heard about OpenClaw yet, it’s an open-source AI assistant that’s taking the tech world by storm. Unlike other assistants, which are essentially chatbots, OpenClaw is designed to actually help with and manage real-world tasks; everything from managing your calendar, emails, messages, browsing, and so much more. And now, SwitchBot is bringing OpenClaw’s capabilities to your smart home via the AI Hub.
OpenClaw support isn’t available on the AI Hub just yet; that comes via an OTA update towards the end of February. But once everything is set up, you’ll be able to connect with a wide range of large-language AI models using an OpenClaw bot contact. This contact is available on more than 50 chat apps, including WhatsApp, iMessage, and Discord.

The key convenience of the SwitchBot AI Hub is that it’s an easy, affordable way to access OpenClaw support. You aren’t using up extra resources or putting your PC through its paces when using the cloud-based or downloaded version on your computer. You also don’t have to start from scratch as far as configurations go, so you won’t have to worry about lacking any technical know-how.
And it mitigates some security concerns about the level of system-level access OpenClaw requires to operate properly on your PC. With the AI Hub, you get a dedicated, secure space for AI operations that keeps your personal data safe and makes deployment faster and simpler.
