A hub is not absolutely necessary. The Switchbot works directly via Bluetooth with the smartphone.
However, to access/control it externally, a hub (Switchbot Hub mini) is required that is connected to the internet via WLAN.
The Hub mini can also be used to control infrared devices such as stereo systems, air conditioners or LED strips.

It is currently not possible to create more than five timers with the SwitchBot Bot as this is limited by device restrictions. However, if you combine the SwitchBot Bot with the SwitchBot Hub, you can use unlimited timers and use advanced functions such as remote control and voice commands via Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri.

depends on the distance the toggle switch has to travel; more than 0.5 cm is probably not possible; you can also pull with the SwitchBot thanks to an enclosed hook
Direct? No. Indirectly? Yes. You need a device with Linux or python and Bluetooth (e.g. OpenWrt Wlan Router or RPI..). Then you can use the PY Lib:

No, that is not possible. You can specify how long the button should be pressed. At best, it would be possible to specify that the button should be pressed 7 times. But that would require 7 commands!

You cannot control the SwitchBot Bot directly with the HomePod mini and Siri without using a SwitchBot Hub (e.g. Hub Mini or Hub 2) or another station. The bot connects directly to the smartphone via Bluetooth, but a hub is required for voice control via Siri and HomeKit, which establishes the connection to the WLAN and Apple Home. Without a hub, only nearby control via Bluetooth is possible, but no direct Siri integration or remote control.

hi, should theoretically be possible with a few detours via Homeassistant. However, this is not possible with the Nuki app and the switch-bot.
but I'm not sure whether you can use the fingerprint as a trigger in Homeassistant. for me, this is all done via the Nuki app to be on the safe side. Otherwise, simply create an automation via the iPhone that controls the switch-bot and omit the Nuki fingerprint.

You cannot use the SwitchBot Bot directly to switch on your PC in the shop if the PC does not have a compatible switching function that can be controlled by the SwitchBot Bot.
The SwitchBot Bot is designed to control existing switches and buttons of household appliances such as light switches, coffee machines, air conditioners and garage doors. It is not compatible with the control of PCs, as these typically do not have switches or buttons that can be operated by such a device.
To control your PC remotely, you will need a different type of solution, such as a remote maintenance function or a special device designed to control computers.

The device works with Bluetooth. The range is pretty bad, i don't use it anymore. I recommend a smart plug for you.
yes I use to power on a printer and it a simple press button.
my printer is setup on a second floor, so I can power it easily

I did some tests with my product(SwitchBot- S1) and I find that the angle of the black one is 135° as for the white one confirmed by several reviews on the net
I also had the problem with a garage door handle. The thing has too little force.

Hi Bruno, with a SwitchBot Hub Mini you can (see link) create a timer it looks like. Found another link that talks about a beta firmware of the switch but I don't recommend it. Alone without doing anything the SwitchBot switch itself can't do a timer as far as I know that's why the hub I think.
The way I set it up, you still have to get a hub (e.g. the Hub mini). You connect this to your WLAN. Then you can define the bot (within the SwitchBot app) so that it goes off at 6 o'clock (and presses your light switch).
Bought two bots without hub a few months ago, here is my experience:
1) You need a hub so that all the individual bots can be controlled by voice control, but you can control the individual bots with the app (Bluetooth range is very large).
2) You can name the bots and also control or even time the individual bots via voice command or app (my light turns on automatically every morning at a certain time).
3) Sticks extremely well. On one of my switches, only half of it sticks because the switch is too small, and I've never had a problem with it since installing it.
4) Operation is easy by hand, the small "switch" from the Bot disappears back into the housing, so you can't damage much.
5) Everything is very easy to do with a hub.
Also works directly via mobile phone
