■ Step 1
Make sure your SwitchBot Hub Plus/Mini is connected to the Internet.
Assign a readable name for this Bot, like "Living Room light" (optional).
Then enable the Bot's cloud service. Your Bot is ready to be controlled by third party service.
■ Step 2
Tap "Siri Shortcuts" and start to record your voice command.
■ Step 3
If you have an Apple HomePod you could use it to control your SwitchBots.
Long press the HomePod in the Home app.
Then tap the gear icon to turn on the personal requests option.
Now, you are free to use your HomePod or iOS devices to control your SwitchBots. Have fun!

I foolishly bought a SwitchBot, thinking that it had actually been designed by a competent human. Sadly, however, it seems to have been created so as to be impossible to connect to Siri or HomeKit on my iPhone without being me buying ANOTHER piece of unnecessary plastic shite!
Really, why do I need a "hub"? I have an iPhone? But... SwitchBotch does not talk to Siri... Seriously?!
Utter nonsense! What a steaming pile of incompetent botch-ware!
Straight in the recycling bin.
