### SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier: Upgraded with Matter 1.4 Compatibility
SwitchBot launched its Evaporative Humidifier the previous year, and it has recently undergone an enhancement with new firmware that now supports Matter 1.4. This upgrade improves the device’s setup speed and interoperability, converting it from a standard “dumb appliance” into a valuable smart home component.
#### Distinct Cold Evaporation Method
Unlike numerous humidifiers that emit mist, the SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier utilizes cold evaporation. A fan moves air over a saturated wick filter, raising humidity levels without producing mist or white residue. With a peak output of 750 mL per hour and a running time of up to 22.5 hours, it is perfect for homes with small kids, allergy sufferers, or anyone looking for purer moisture in the atmosphere.
#### Improved Capability with Matter 1.4
The arrival of Matter 1.4 introduces various new functionalities, such as enhanced multi-platform access, streamlined setup, and compatibility with more device types. When connected to the SwitchBot Hub 2, users can operate the humidifier through HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home without needing to connect it to each platform individually. This integration facilitates voice control via Siri and enables the creation of automation in tandem with other HomeKit devices.
#### Silent Performance
The humidifier is equipped with a 4.5-liter tank that is simple to refill, and the wick filter can last up to four years depending on the quality of water used. A transparent water level indicator allows users to monitor the status without needing to take out the tank. Operating at a noise level below 18 dB, it functions quietly, making it ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or offices. Its compact design and included wheels make it easy to move throughout the home, allowing it to effectively address dry areas in various rooms.
#### Seamless Integration with the S10 Vacuum
The SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier can connect with the SwitchBot Floor Cleaning Robot S10. When both devices are on the same system, the S10 can automatically refill the humidifier using its common water supply. This feature minimizes the frequency of manual tank refills and helps sustain consistent humidity levels, although it does not function through Matter.
#### Summary
For those who acquired the SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier last year, the enhanced Matter 1.4 support greatly improves its capabilities. With quicker setup, better cross-platform control, and enhanced automation features, it integrates effortlessly into smart home settings. This quiet, low-maintenance unit has become even more advantageous without requiring additional purchases, thanks to complimentary firmware updates.
