SwitchBot Safety Alarm: pocket alarm with smart features
SwitchBot has launched the Safety Alarm — a compact key‑chain pocket alarm that pairs loud personal protection with smart functions. The device is designed to be attached to bags, keys or backpacks and is described as available via Amazon DE and SwitchBot’s online store.
Key features
- 130 dB ultra‑loud siren
- High‑brightness strobe light (rated to flash for 1+ hour)
- Compact: ~67 × 33 × 15 mm; weight ~35 g
- IP65 splash/dust resistance
- Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity; integrates with SwitchBot ecosystem (e.g., Hub) for extra features
- Smart features: fake incoming call, location notification, hub‑based home arrival reminders
- 2‑year warranty
Apple “Wo ist?” (Find My) compatibility
Although the product includes location notifications, SwitchBot’s documentation and product pages do not explicitly list native support for Apple’s Find My (“Wo ist?”) network. It appears to rely on Bluetooth and SwitchBot’s services rather than Apple’s Find My accessory network.
Availability & links
The device is listed on SwitchBot’s official product pages and has been reported as available on Amazon Germany. For more details and to buy, see:

Verdict
The SwitchBot Safety Alarm is a practical, smartified personal alarm with strong siren and strobe functions. If you need integration with Apple’s Find My network specifically, this device likely won’t replace an AirTag — but for on‑device alarms and SwitchBot ecosystem features it looks useful.
