Just hold an NFC-enabled smartphone over it, and <strong>it instantly performs various actions such as launching apps, making it an incredibly convenient tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now, the latest addition to the SwitchBot series, which offers a wide range of IoT devices, is the \u201c<ruby>SwitchBot<rt>\u30b9\u30a4\u30c3\u30c1\u30dc\u30c3\u30c8<\/rt><\/ruby> Tag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those already familiar with NFC tags, there\u2019s probably one question that comes to mind: \u201c<strong><span style=\"color:#dd3333\" class=\"color\">What makes it different from other NFC tags?<\/span><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in this article, I\u2019ll first explain the key advantages of the \u201cSwitchBot Tag,\u201d which is the most important point, and then provide a detailed review covering its specifications, features, and real-world usage examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-big_icon_point\"><strong>This article was created with a product provided by the manufacturer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of the SwitchBot Tag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned at the beginning, many people who know about NFC tags are likely thinking this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201c<strong>Wouldn\u2019t an NTAG216 NFC tag perform the same functions?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is absolutely correct, and <strong><span style=\"color:#dd3333\" class=\"color\">in fact, other brands using NTAG216 NFC tags will function in the same way<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, I\u2019ll start by explaining the advantages of the \u201cSwitchBot Tag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-capbox cap_box is-style-inner\" data-colset=\"col1\"><div class=\"cap_box_ttl\"><span>Advantages of the SwitchBot Tag<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cap_box_content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reasonably priced for an NTAG216 NFC tag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic material with added thickness, making it easier to read even when attached to metal surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waterproof, so installation locations are not limited<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, \u201c<strong>NTAG216<\/strong>\u201d is the name of the chip, and its key feature is its <strong>large memory capacity of 888 bytes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Models with smaller capacities include NTAG213 and NTAG215.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d costs 980 yen for a set of three, which comes to <strong>approximately <span class=\"color\" style=\"color:#dd3333\">326 yen per tag<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look on Amazon and elsewhere, you can find some NTAG216 NFC tags at lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, availability is limited, and considering the quality aspects described later, I don\u2019t think the \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d is necessarily expensive; rather, <strong>it is fairly priced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if NTAG213 or NTAG215 with smaller memory capacity is sufficient for your needs, <strong>you can get them for just a few dozen to around 100 yen per tag<\/strong>, so I would not recommend the \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d in that case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, cheaper products usually come with trade-offs, and the difference lies in the <strong>materials used<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many inexpensive NFC tags are made of <strong>paper material<\/strong>, which means they are not waterproof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also naturally thinner, so <strong><span style=\"color:#dd3333\" class=\"color\">when attached to metal surfaces, your smartphone may fail to respond or have difficulty reading them<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d is made of plastic, so it is <strong>waterproof<\/strong>, and its thickness makes <strong>it easier for smartphones to respond even when attached to metal surfaces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think that\u2019s all, but <strong>when you actually use it, this makes a significant difference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantage of NFC tags in the first place is that <strong>you can launch apps or devices simply by holding your smartphone over them, without navigating through multiple steps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The frustration when a tool meant to save time fails to respond<\/strong> can be intense, and if you end up stopping using it altogether, that completely defeats the purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-balloon\"><div class=\"c-balloon -bln-left -sp-vrtcl\" data-col=\"gray\"><div class=\"c-balloon__icon -circle\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/itsuki_egao_icon_new.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-balloon__iconImg\" width=\"80px\" height=\"80px\"><span class=\"c-balloon__iconName\">Itsuki<\/span><\/div><div class=\"c-balloon__body -speaking -border-on\"><div class=\"c-balloon__text\">\n<p>To ensure your time-saving tool works reliably, <strong>it\u2019s worth spending a little extra<\/strong> and choosing the high-quality \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d\u2014that\u2019s my final conclusion.<\/p>\n<span class=\"c-balloon__shapes\"><span class=\"c-balloon__before\"><\/span><span class=\"c-balloon__after\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Included with the SwitchBot Tag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The packaging of the \u201cSwitchBot Tag\u201d is transparent, allowing you to clearly see the product inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_005.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_005.jpg\" alt=\"SwitchBot\u30bf\u30b0 \u30d1\u30c3\u30b1\u30fc\u30b8\" class=\"wp-image-28531\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The back lists the <strong>product specifications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_009.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_009.jpg\" alt=\"SwitchBot\u30bf\u30b0 \u30d1\u30c3\u30b1\u30fc\u30b8\u88cf\u9762\" class=\"wp-image-28532\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The following items are <strong>included<\/strong> in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gadgerba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SwitchBotNFCTag_012.jpg\" alt=\"SwitchBot\u30bf\u30b0 \u540c\u68b1\u7269\" class=\"wp-image-28533\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-capbox cap_box is-style-inner\" data-colset=\"col1\"><div class=\"cap_box_ttl\"><span>What\u2019s Included with the SwitchBot Tag<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cap_box_content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SwitchBot Tag \u00d7 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stickers \u00d7 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Six stickers<\/strong> are included.
