Is it a Switch bot?

If so, quick question: Does it need a hub? Or can I just but the switch, install an app for it, then couple it with a home assistant?

No, its a smart thing switch as I have the hub, so its z wave. However I have a lot of smart home switches, lights and so on so that makes sense for me. Plenty of options if you do not want a hub now.

The espresso machine has a proper on off button so I just leave it in on position and the switch turns the power on and off

The most common ones use WiFi, so you don't need any hubs other than a router.
