This famous switch from Tiktok is available on Amazon for $23

If you’re not quite ready for a robot vacuum cleaner, you might want to get into home robotics with a cyborg light switch. The SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher is one of those “internet famous” gadgets that Tiktokers are obsessed with, and it’s on sale on Amazon for $23 instead of $39 – that’s 41% off, but only for today! By the way, there are other smart home tools on offer, but this is the offer you definitely shouldn’t miss.

How it works

This product really seems to be something Inspector Gadget came up with. It’s basically a tiny box that mounts to any rocker switch (the kind you tap to turn it on and off), and when you want to turn the switch on, a tiny robotic “finger” reaches out and taps on the switch. You operate it with an app from your smartphone and it works with Alexa. There is absolutely no wiring required and has a battery life of 600 days.

This is one of those gadgets that Amazon buyers swear by – with more than 14,500 five-star reviews, it’s hard to argue with the Switchbot’s convenience.

“This is great for those of us who work in condos and apartments where there is a need to get UPS delivery or guests in,” wrote one satisfied buyer. “Easy operation via my iPhone from any room. No more running to the switchboard to ring the door buzzer. Also works with my Echo ‘Alexa, open the door.’”

“Perfect automation tool for the morning routine,” wrote a satisfied customer. “That little finger removed gives me more time to sleep, what more does a man need?”

“My husband managed to turn on his espresso machine 30 minutes before waking so the water was hot and ready for his espresso,” gushed one reviewer. “This very simple tool has made our morning routine much smoother and faster!”

“That solved our problem,” remarked one satisfied buyer. “We couldn’t install a smart switch unless we rewired our house and that was too costly! But this solved our problem of turning the lights on and off automatically according to the schedule we designed! Such a simple yet amazing gadget!!”

Of course, if you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping. Not a member yet? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders $25 or more.)
