Matter Hub 2, work as a WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer, IR Remote Control, Smart Remote and Light Sensor, Link SwitchBot to Wi-Fi (Support 2.4GHz), Compatible with Alexa&Google Assistant

I’ve been using the SwitchBot Matter Hub 2 to connect my SwitchBot devices to Wi-Fi and bring them into my smart home setup, and it’s been very reliable. Setup was straightforward, and it quickly became the “central” device I use most. What I like ✅ • Matter support is a big plus for smoother integration and future-proofing 🔗✨ • Works well as a Wi-Fi thermometer/hygrometer — readings update regularly and are easy to check 📈🌡️ • The IR remote control feature is super handy for controlling older devices (TV, fan, heater, AC) from the app 📺❄️ • Smart remote functions are responsive and easy to automate • The built-in light sensor is useful for simple automations (e.g., turn on a lamp when it gets dark) 💡 • Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant for voice control 🗣️ What could be better ⚠️ • Needs 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so if your router is set to 5GHz-only you’ll need to adjust settings • IR control depends on placement (line-of-sight works best), so location in the room matters Bottom line: If you want one device that links SwitchBot to Wi-Fi and also adds temperature/humidity monitoring + IR control, this is a really useful upgrade and worth it ✅🔌 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I purchased the Switchbot Hub 2 to accompany a Switchbot Universal Remote. I already owned a Switchbot Hub mini which sits at the other end of the house. I was interested to see which advances have been made since the release of the Hub mini. The Hub2 is easy to set up and was connected to my WiFi in seconds (once I'd remembered to disable MAC address filtering briefly on my router). I was able to 'move' some existing Switchbot devices and learned IR codes to the new Hub2 from my old Hub mini with a few button presses in the Switchbot app. Like the Hub mini, the Hub 2 is able to learn (and send!) IR commands for external devices such as TVs - allowing you to use your phone as a remote control - and also connects to Switchbot devices such as meters (temperature/humidity), door sensors, the universal remote control and other products I do not own, allowing access to some devices over the internet. The big advantage of the Hub 2 over the Hub mini is that it includes its own temperature/humidity sensors complete with a clear, lit display. The display can show the temperature/humidity that the Hub2 sensor reads (the sensor is on the usb cable) or can be set to display the temperature/humidity of any other Switchbot meters in the 'home'. It would be nice if the display could automatically alternate between sensors though. As with the Hub mini, alerts can be set for certain temperature/humidity conditions and these can now sound on the Hub 2 itself. The Hub 2 comes complete with a power adaptor (useful as it requires a 2A supply) and is very sleek in appearance. The Switchbot app allows much customisation of the Hub2 including the usual WiFi and cloud service (Google Assistant/Alexa/IFTTT) options. In addition to the Hub mini's settings, the Hub 2 includes display options and calibration settings as well as settings for Matter. As I don't own Matter devices from other manufacturers, I haven't been able to use this function fully but one added advantage for me has been that my various Switchbot temperature meters are now available as triggers for Google Assistant routines whereas 'pre-matter' Google home just showed temperature and humidity readings (although the ability to trigger 'routines' has always been available in Samsung's Smartthings app). Two configurable 'touch' buttons are available towards the bottom of the display. These can be programmed to activate 'Scenes' utilising other Switchbot devices or IR commands from this (or other) hubs. Or they can be hidden. The (older) Hub mini is a great device and has many uses beyond tying Switchbot devices together and making them available online. The Hub 2 is a worthy upgrade with its sensors and it future-proofs the ecosystem for when Matter products are more widely available.

I've invested a fair bit into the switchbot echo system so this was a no brainer upgrade for me. So far the it's been a noticeable upgrade in performance and coverage compared to the mini hub with seemingly better bt coverage of my house. The Integrated buttons and temperature sensor have been really useful. Currently using the buttons to open and shut my blinds which is great. I've encountered a few bugs with the software (WiFi details randomly reset and matter via alexa seems to not want to setup), I'm hopeful SwitchBot will resolve these over time.

The SwitchBot hub 2 facilitates so much useful functionality within the SwitchBot ecosystem (and by extension, any smart home setup) that it's almost a necessity. Things like having our curtains close when it reads 24° is so simple, yet such a QOL improvement. The display is nice and bright, plus simple enough to set and have the relevant info to hand too.

I purchased the SwitchBot Hub 2 to replace my SwitchBot Hub Mini and yes, although it is more than twice the price, you have to bear in mind this is a hub, a IR remote, a thermometer/hygrometer, and includes SwichBot 'Button' on the Hub and it also supports the new 'Matter' standard. To be honest I got this so that I could monitor/control my 2 greenhouses in terms of temperature and humidity. My previous sensors and app were great when they actually worked, which wasn't often I am sad to say, but they worked via Bluetooth, which meant I couldn't monitor when I was outside the Bluetooth range i.e out and about - as you couldn't add them to you Wi-Fi. SwitchBot sensors are far superior too, not to mention that they cost a fraction of what I was paying for the other unreliable system. I have only touched on the one aspect of the Hub 2, it can do a LOT more though. All in all, I wish I had waited and I would have gone 100% for the SwitchBot system, so if you are just starting to build a 'system', I would fully recommend SwtichBot as THE system to invest in as they are adding items all the time too. 5 stars all day long from me... a great product !

Gaat perfect

Funciona muy bien. En apple HomeKit hace lo básico, pero se batalla para agregarlo y se desconecta con frecuencia.

användbar och högkvalitativ

El hub es el accesorio principal que necesitas para poder controlar el resto de dispositivos, a pesar de ser algo caro para tratarse de un hub, no es un aparato simple en si. Dispone de: - Un higrómetro para ver la temperatura y la humedad. - Un sensor de luz - Un emisor por infrarrojos que a través de la aplicación puedes accionar, por ejemplo para encender la TV o el aire acondicionado, cualquier aparato que permita la recepción por infrarrojos ya que es configurable 100%. De esta manera puedes accionar cualquier dispositivo desde cualquier parte del mundo que tengas acceso a internet. - La pantalla tiene 2 botones configurables para accionar escenas. - Y para mi lo mas importante, es que soporta Matter, así que todos los dispositivos que enlaces al hub, estarán disponibles en otros asistentes inteligentes como Alexa, Google Home y Apple Home. Switchbot pone al alcance una domotización barata y de calidad con soporte Matter. Si no necesitas tantas funcionalidades, hay otro hub (Hub mini) como puerta de entrada al ecosistema bastante mas barato.
