A small direct-Matter relay
SwitchBot Relay Switch 1 is a single-output relay module for projects where a compact switch endpoint is more useful than a finished wall switch. It connects through Matter over Wi-Fi and does not require a SwitchBot hub.
This is the kind of device where the wiring job matters more than the protocol logo.
Setup path
Confirm voltage, load, and enclosure requirements before installation. If the job touches mains wiring or local electrical rules require it, use a qualified electrician.
After SwitchBot setup and Matter pairing, name the relay for the device it actually controls. That avoids confusing automations later.
What Matter sees
Matter may expose the relay as a simple switch. That is fine for many projects, but it means your ecosystem may not understand the connected load as a garage contact, gate, fan, or lighting circuit without extra naming or automation work.
Best for
- Low-voltage or dry-contact automation projects
- Single-load control where a small relay module fits
- Matter homes that want a no-brand-hub relay
Skip if
- You need a standard wall switch with a finished faceplate
- You cannot confirm wiring and load compatibility
- Your ecosystem needs to understand the controlled device type natively
