Overview

The K20+ Pro is a small lidar robot vacuum that docks into a wheeled FusionPlatform base, so the same robot can carry up to 8 kg around the home. SwitchBot sells clip-on modules for the platform (a pan/tilt security camera, an air purifier, a circulator fan, a tablet stand and a stick vacuum), and the platform is open to 3D-printed add-ons. Cleaning itself is modest, with a mini vacuum and a static mop pad rather than a washing dock, and the platform cannot cross steps over about 3 mm. Basic cleaning commands and status are available through SwitchBot's public cloud API, but the carrying functions are app only. It sits above the K11+ in the lineup and is on sale now.

API / hackingOfficial SwitchBot API v1.1 (cloud REST with token + HMAC signing). For the K20+ Pro it can start cleaning (sweep or mop mode, suction level 1–4, passes), pause, dock, set volume and change suction/water/pass settings. Status returns working state, task type and battery, with webhook events. The API does not expose the FusionPlatform delivery moves, the map or remote driving
