The collaboration brings compatible lighting, blinds, curtains, locks and other devices from both brands into a single Apple HomeView display, with Siri and saved scenes supported.
SwitchBot and Nanoleaf have said they will jointly support Apple HomeView, in a move that is intended to give users a single display for controlling and monitoring compatible smart home devices across both brands. The companies described the setup as a room-by-room experience built around Apple’s home platform, with controls for lighting, blinds, curtains, locks and other connected products available from one interface. According to the announcement, the aim is to make it easier to run routines and check home status without switching between separate apps.
The integration is designed to let users issue commands through the HomeView touchscreen or Siri, including opening curtains, adjusting blinds, switching lights on or off and changing brightness levels. The company said compatible SwitchBot products covered by the experience include curtains, blinds, locks, sensors, meters, lighting, air-care devices, plugs, switches and selected robot vacuums, while Nanoleaf contributes lighting products intended for both functional and ambient use. The firms also said saved Apple Home scenes can be recalled from the shared display, allowing several devices to respond together with a single tap or voice command.
SwitchBot said some of its products can connect to Apple Home directly if they have native Matter over Wi-Fi support, while others still require one of its Matter hub products. Its support materials say compatible devices can also be brought into Apple Home through hubs including Hub 3, Hub 2, Hub Mini Matter Enabled and AI Hub, depending on the device. That distinction matters because Apple HomeView is presented as an interface for accessories already inside Apple Home, rather than a replacement for the hub hardware needed by some SwitchBot products.
The company has also published a guide for setting up compatible devices in Apple Home, organised around household areas such as the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and laundry space. SwitchBot’s own documentation shows that it has been expanding Matter support across its line-up, including sub-device compatibility and bridging options for third-party platforms. Recent reporting on the company has also pointed to a broader push into Matter-enabled devices, including a budget-friendly ceiling light that works with major smart home ecosystems.
