The Combo is a bundle, so it ships with face recognition, fingerprint and passcode entry, Matter and every major platform already working, where the Lock Pro needs a keypad and a SwitchBot Hub added for the same. It also adds a tamper alert and a door open-close sensor, and owners coming from the Lock Pro praise its fixed calibration. Both share NFC, Apple Home Key, auto-lock, geolocation and a 9 month battery rating. Choose the SwitchBot Lock Pro for the lower entry cost and a motor owners call strong, and the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo if you want hands-free face unlock and would rather not assemble the parts.

What the differences mean

What is in the box

The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo bundles the lock, a face-recognition keypad and a hub, so passcode, fingerprint and face unlock work at once. The SwitchBot Lock Pro is the lock alone, and each of those methods, plus remote control, needs a keypad or a SwitchBot Hub bought separately.

Smart home support

The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo lists Google Home, Alexa, Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter as supported directly. The SwitchBot Lock Pro lists all of them behind a SwitchBot Hub, and Matter behind a Hub 2. Home Assistant works on both.

Alerts and sensing

Only the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo lists a tamper alert and an open-close sensor. On the SwitchBot Lock Pro owners describe auto-lock as depending on a magnet on the door frame.

Battery and backup

The SwitchBot Lock Pro uses 4x AA with a Power Pack as its backup, while the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo runs on 3x 18350 cells with a CR123A as backup. Both are rated for 9 months.

Weight

The SwitchBot Lock Pro weighs 435g and the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo 367g, a small difference to carry on a door but the newer lock is also a little shorter from the door out.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both SwitchBot locks like the same thing first: a retrofit that keeps the existing cylinder and key and installs without drilling. SwitchBot Lock Pro owners add that the motor is strong even on stiffer locks and that it keeps working over Bluetooth during an outage, and they complain about a plastic mounting plate they consider flimsy, a bolt that sometimes fails its final turn, some early failures and an auto-lock that needs a door-frame magnet on a flush frame. SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo owners single out the face recognition, walking up with full hands, the many ways to enter and a calibration that ends the lockouts older models suffered. Their warnings are a few faulty first units, slow support replacements, a couple of safety-relevant reports and that it is a euro-cylinder retrofit, not a US deadbolt.

Upgrading from the SwitchBot Lock Pro?

Moving up from the SwitchBot Lock Pro to the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo changes three things: the face-recognition keypad and hub arrive in the box, Matter and the major platforms work without a Hub 2, and owners say the calibration that gave the Lock Pro its lockouts is fixed. The retrofit idea and the 9 month battery rating stay the same. If your SwitchBot Lock Pro already runs reliably with a hub and keypad, there is little reason to move. If calibration or a missing keypad is what annoys you, the newer lock is the step up.
