Abstract
An automatic switching method for a smart switch is implemented in an automatic switching system having a mobile device, a wireless station, a CPnP server and at least one match switch. The method includes steps of: developing match data for establishing relationship between the mobile device and the matching switch in the CPnP server; and establishing a connection between the mobile device and the match switch by a user operation to control the match switch. When the mobile device is within wireless signal range of the wireless station to be connected with the match switch via the wireless station, the mobile device controls the match switch through the wireless station. When the mobile device is located outside the wireless signal range of the wireless station to be connected with the match switch via the CPnP server, the mobile device controls the match switch via the CPnP server.
