Accepted Answer

A hub is not absolutely necessary. The Switchbot works directly via Bluetooth with the smartphone.

However, to access/control it externally, a hub (Switchbot Hub mini) is required that is connected to the internet via WLAN. 
The Hub mini can also be used to control infrared devices such as stereo systems, air conditioners or LED strips.
