Prime Day is a great time to take advantage of some steep discounts and upgrade your smart home setup. And with SwitchBot, you don’t even have to turn to multiple brands to make your picks.

Whether you’re looking for a way to sort out hands-free entry at your front door, automate the curtains you currently open and close by hand, turn a blank stretch of wall into a rotating gallery, or anything else, SwitchBot has you covered, and with up to 50% off on everything for Prime Day.

SwitchBot Lock Vision Series

If you’re tired of digging around for keys or tapping codes, and just want a quick and hands-free, but safe, way to enter your house, the Lock Vision Series is SwitchBot’s answer. There are two models in the series, and both use advanced 3D structured-light facial recognition to unlock the door as you approach.

Of course, the system is designed to resist spoofing attempts from photos or videos, so a printed picture will not fool it. It’s a retrofit lock too, which means it mounts over your existing deadbolt without you needing to swap out the whole mechanism or call a locksmith. You can also manage both using the SwitchBot app for remote control, access logs, and sharing entry with family.
