SwitchBot's New Retrofit Smart Lock Packs 19 Ways to Get In
SwitchBot used IFA to unveil its most feature-packed smart lock yet: the Lock Ultra Max Vision Pro Combo, a retrofit system aimed at European homes that don't want to replace their existing door hardware entirely.
The bundle pairs the new Lock Ultra Max with SwitchBot's Keypad Vision Pro and a Hub Mini Matter, unlocking (literally) 19 different entry methods. Beyond the usual passcode and NFC card options, it supports fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, and even palm vein authentication, plus remote unlocking, voice commands, smartwatch triggers, and phone widgets through SwitchBot's app.
It's a multi-user setup clearly built for households or shared spaces where different people might want different ways in. The combo will run €339.99/£339.99 (about $395), a notable step up from the standalone $249.99 Lock Ultra.
