Summary
IFA debutant SwitchBot Lock Ultra Max Vision Pro Combo targets European homes with up to 19 entry methods, including fingerprint, passcode, NFC, facial recognition, palm vein scans, and app-based remote access.
€339.99 in Europe and £339.99 in the UK buys the lock, Keypad Vision Pro, and Hub Mini Matter, positioning the package above last year's $249.99 Lock Ultra Vision.
99% compatibility is SwitchBot's main pitch: the retrofit lock supports common EU profile, knob, Swiss round, and UK oval cylinders, with extra adapters for less common setups.
A motor delivering more than 9 kilograms of turning force and 160rpm gives the Lock Ultra Max 3.2 times the rotation speed of the older Lock Ultra, underscoring its push for tougher European locks.
