Wonderlabs has carved out a niche by making existing home fixtures smart. The SwitchBot Relay Switch 1 is a clever execution of that idea. It’s a compact module you wire directly into a standard light switch box, converting a dumb toggle into a smart one without needing to replace the entire switch or your wall plate.

The built-in hub is the key feature. It connects the relay to your Wi-Fi and Matter ecosystem, letting you control the connected light or fan with your voice through Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home. You can also set schedules in the SwitchBot app. Installation requires basic electrical knowledge—you’re connecting wires, not just plugging something in. Once set, it handles up to 16 amps, which covers most residential lighting circuits.

The relay provides reliable on/off control, but it’s for simple toggle switches, not dimmers. For renters or anyone hesitant to rewire a full switch, the upfront installation is a real barrier. But for a permanent, clean smart switch solution that works across every major platform, it’s a solid, capable piece of hardware.
