Overview
- SwitchBot's Lock Vision lineup, announced Friday, is now on Amazon with $40 launch discounts and list prices of $169.99 for Lock Vision and $229.99 for Lock Vision Pro.
- Matter‑over‑Wi‑Fi support is built in to enable Apple Home control without a SwitchBot hub, and SwitchBot says an Apple TV or HomePod is required as the Home hub.
- SwitchBot lists Matter 1.4 as the target and notes the locks are available to work with Apple Home with the platform certificate still in process.
- Both models offer local 3D structured‑light facial recognition that stores biometrics with AES‑128 encryption, while the Pro adds semiconductor fingerprint and contactless palm‑vein unlocking.
- A dual power design pairs a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery with a CR123A backup and an exterior USB‑C port for emergency power, and mmWave sensing wakes the scanner only when someone approaches to save energy.
