# SwitchBot AI Hub

*SwitchBot*

> The SwitchBot AI Hub keeps automations and camera analysis on the device, so they run locally. It is Matter-certified, bridges up to 30 SwitchBot sub-devices to Matter platforms, and hosts Home Assistant Core itself. It suits Home Assistant users, with native support through Matter over Wi-Fi. HomeKit and Google Home users reach it through an integration (a Matter bridge).
