Last recorded price

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro answers with built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, CSA-certified Matter and a twelve-month battery, and it does it on an IP65 body that shrugs off weather. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is the better match for a European door: it mounts on an existing euro cylinder, bundles the Keypad Vision for 3D face unlock and includes a hub that supplies the Wi-Fi and Matter the lock itself lacks. Both open by face, fingerprint, passcode, NFC, app and physical key, and both handle one-time, periodic and anti-peep codes, auto-lock and geolocation. The Vision Pro is the more self-contained lock with palm vein as an extra way in and better battery life, while the Ultra Vision Combo wins on door fit for euro-cylinder homes and on support for the widest spread of entry hardware out of one box. Choose the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro for a US deadbolt or an exposed door, and the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo for a European cylinder in a covered entryway.

What the differences mean

Door type

This is the difference that decides the purchase. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is a euro-cylinder retrofit for European doors, while the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro replaces a standard US deadbolt. Neither adapts to the other door style, so confirm which cylinder your door uses before choosing.

Hub and connectivity

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro carries its own 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and CSA-certified Matter over Wi-Fi, so it needs no bridge. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is a Bluetooth lock whose Wi-Fi, remote access and Matter come from the hub in the box, which means one more device to power and place near the door.

Weather resistance

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro is IP65 rated, so it is the one of the pair that can live on a door exposed to rain. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is not weather-resistant, which keeps it to covered entryways and interior doors.

Battery life

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro runs a 10,000mAh pack rated for twelve months, with a CR123A backup and a USB-C port that takes any power bank. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo uses three 18350 cells rated around nine months, so it asks to be recharged a little more often.

Ways in

Both locks read a face, a fingerprint, a code, an NFC card, the app and a physical key. The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro adds contactless palm vein reading and stores up to 90 prints, while the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo delivers its face module through the separate Keypad Vision, which sits beside the door rather than in the lock.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both SwitchBot locks lead with the same praise: face unlock that opens the door with full hands, and a retrofit install they finished in minutes without drilling. From there they part ways. SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo owners single out the sheer number of entry methods, temporary codes for guests, a quiet night mode and calibration that finally fixed the lockouts of the earlier Pro Lock, while their complaints are isolated faulty units, night-latch calibration and rare reports of a similar-looking face getting in. SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro owners praise face unlock that works in the dark, palm vein and fingerprint as equal alternatives, built-in Wi-Fi with no hub and a twelve-month battery, and they warn that state reporting over Matter was inconsistent for some and that a minority of units would not complete face or palm enrolment out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro or SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo?

It depends on the door more than on the specs. The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro is the better fit for a US deadbolt, with built-in Wi-Fi, Matter and IP65 weather resistance. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is the one to get for a European euro-cylinder door, where it retrofits cleanly and bundles the Keypad Vision and a hub.

What is the biggest difference between the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo and the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro?

The door it fits and how it connects. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is a euro-cylinder retrofit that uses a bundled hub for Wi-Fi and Matter, while the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro is a US deadbolt replacement with its own built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Matter over Wi-Fi.

Do these SwitchBot locks need a hub?

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro does not, because it connects over its own 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Matter. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo uses Bluetooth on the lock itself and relies on the hub in the box for Wi-Fi, remote access and Matter.

Can the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo or SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro be used outdoors?

Only the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro is rated for it, with an IP65 body that resists weather. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is not weather-resistant, so it belongs on a covered or interior door.

Who should buy the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo?

European households with a euro-profile cylinder who want the widest set of entry methods, including 3D face unlock through the included Keypad Vision, plus Matter supplied by the bundled hub in a covered entry.

Who should buy the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro?

Owners of a standard US deadbolt who want hands-free face, palm vein and fingerprint entry, built-in Wi-Fi with no hub, a twelve-month battery and IP65 weather resistance on a door that sees the elements.
