Smart WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer: The SwitchBot Hub 2 features a built-in industrial Swiss-made chip (accuracy up to ±1.8% RH/±0.36°F) in its cable. Additionally, the panel comes equipped with a light sensor, which enables the screen brightness to adapt to the environment seamlessly. The WiFi functionality allows you to monitor your home’s temperature, humidity, and light data, as well as their variations, anytime, anywhere.
Helps Consolidate All Your Infrared Remotes: With Smart Learning, our smart home hub can help you add tons of home appliance infrared remotes to our app to help make home life simple. You’ll then be able to control appliances such as TVs, Air Cons, and more using Voice Commands (e.g. Alexa) or even using our app or your Apple Watch.
Use with Scenes and Geo-fencing: Temperature, humidity and light detected by SwitchBot Hub 2 (2nd Gen) can be used as automatic scene conditions as the trigger condition to control devices such as air conditioners to help maintain a comfortable environment at home. Use with other SwitchBot products to realize more automation scenarios with the help of our smart home ecosystem.
2 Smart Buttons Included: Our device comes with two buttons to allow you to set up household appliances or automation scenes to be controlled when using our app. Just simply tap lightly and enjoy a host of different home automation possibilities, especially suitable for the elderly or children who cannot use smart phones or voice commands.
Supports Matter: SwitchBot Lock, Curtains and Blind Tilts are supported via Matter when using SwitchBot Hub2 (2nd Gen), which in turn helps make your device supported via HomeKit (support across other devices will come shortly after). Our hub also allows you to use third-party smart assistants such as Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home for an even better smart home experience.

Works Great With HomeKit and Alexa!
There’s was a lot of buzz last year about the HomeKit compatible infrared blaster the Nature Remo Nano. It looks like a great product but unfortunately it is only for the Japanese market. The Switchbot Hub 2, however, beat it to the American market! And I have to say it’s great! The update to change the IR blaster over to Matter was seamless and easy. The blaster works like a charm too!If there is anything to nit-pick about, I’d say that the Switchbot’s phone app simply doesn’t have very many pre-programmed templates to control various devices. Not that they are necessary. The Switchbot’s ability to learn IR codes and button from current remote controls is fantastic and easy. As long as you have the remote, Switchbot can learn it! For all the devices I wanted to control, I ended up just creating my own templates using the “Others” category under “IR Appliances”. Works great!A note note Apple TV users. Although Switchbot support will tell you it’s impossible to control an Apple TV with Switchbot, that’s just not true. It controls it fine. ALL Apple TVs can be controlled using IR signals from IR remote controls. You don’t even have to mess with settings in the Apple TV. It just works out of the box. The hurdle to overcome, however, is to get a IR remote control for the Apple TV. Only a bluetooth remote comes with the Apple TV 4 and later, not an IR remote. Apple TVs gen 1-3 had IR remotes. You can still buy these older model remotes and Switchbot can learn them just fine, but the gen 4 and later Apple TVs added a new Home button which is not on the older remotes. The new Home button is how you put the Apple TV 4s and later to sleep. Luckily, there are many cheap ($10) 3rd party IR remote controls for the Apple TV 4 and later that have the new Home button. Just buy one of those, and you can use it to teach Switchbot how to control your Apple TV.Switchbot uses Siri Shortcuts to allow Siri to control an Apple TV. Would be nice if it had built in support for Siri, but using Siri Shortcuts works fine. Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant can also control the Apple TV with Switchbot. So best of both worlds!I highly recommend Switchbot if you want to use it with Apple’s HomeKit. It’s not like we have much of a choice in any case. As far as I could tell, Switchbot is currently the ONLY smart home IR blaster in the American market that is compatible with HomeKit. But at least you know it works, and works well! 🙂

Great for integrating with Apple HomeKit
I purchased some SwitchBot smart blind controllers and needed a way to integrate them with Apple HomeKit. This hub allows you to do that easily after a quick setup in the app. It only took a few minutes and I had everything connected and now I can control the blinds with Apple HomeKit.

The best temperature & humidity monitor that updates quickly
I bought this hub because my current zigbee humidity/temp sensor did not update often enough (hourly) and I wanted one that was more up-to-date. This one was advertised as updating every 2 seconds, which is very impressive and great for setting up triggers for smart automation/routines. I also have a couple of Switchbot devices and this hub is Matter-certified, which is important because I use a SmartThings hub. The temperature setting is very accurate, however, like most hygrometers, the humidity is off by about 5-9%, but that’s pretty standard and still closer to accurate readings than others I’ve used. My biggest gripe is that the temp/humidity sensors are located on the wire itself, which makes it a little awkward to setup (hard to stand the unit up without force-bending the wire) and place strategically in the home. I also wish there was a built-in rechargeable battery to use as back-up, especially at this price point ($70). The temp/humidity history is a nice data feature to review from the app. Solid 4 stars.

Great solution for my needs.
I bought the hub with 4 sensors. Setup was pretty straight forward. Hub integrated easily onto my Wifi network and Alexa environment. I have one sensor in my pump house with an alarm when the temperature drops near freezing. A second is inside a freezer watching for temperatures above 10 degrees. This sensor does not update very often, I think the Bluetooth signal has a hard time getting out. However all I need to do is open it and I have the history of it’s performance. The third sensor is inside my small wood drying kiln I use for bowl blank. Here the humidity sensor is very useful. The 4th is inside my workshop so I know what issues I will face with glues and finishes. There are issues with the speed of the updates, probably caused by the distance from the hub, but the data is updated eventually. However the fact that each sensor records readings about every 2 seconds and stores those results helps remediate the slow updates. The data is there. Like I said it fulfills my needs. The app is well designed, robust, and provides a good set of tools to review this recorded data. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t need instantaneous temperature reading and alarms.

Should’ve gotten the Hub Mini
Ordered the Hub so that I could have Alexa voice control over my blinds – works great and all and setup was pretty straightforward. I didn’t realize that the Hub Mini can do just that for half the price (missing the temperature display and some other functionalities, but it gets the job done for home assistant communication).

I have been waiting literally 10 years since the Harmony universal remote for an upgrade product, smarter and more versatile. Enter the Switchbot hub2 and universal remote. I have their other products, as well the hub2, and so it is an easy adaptation. For people new to them, the cost can add up. Just to be clear, the universal remote can be used on its own, but the functions are very limited. The hub2 is a very versatile product and if you consider their other lines of products later, it is worth investing in it in my opinion. The setup is very simple just following their on screen step by step instructions. You have 3 ways to add remote control functions – smart matching, add manually or use learn buttons. It is the third way that interests me most. I have a lot of odd devices, like karaoke, sound processor. So this means of learning is perfect for me. I attach a video to add a button to the hub2 first,other all these can be transferred to the universal remote pretty straightforward. AMZ only allows 1 video in review. Maybe I will post the second video later. As for appearance,bit is very appealing to me, white and bright, different from 99% of remotes out there. I don’t like skimpy remote and the size is perfect. Recommended.

Works well, looks good, overpriced for it’s functionality which is limited. Maybe I’ve not fully understood it’s functions.

Warum habe ich den SwitchBot Hub 2 gekauft?Ich habe den SwitchBot Hub 2 gekauft, um die Hygrometer über Matter in mein SmartHome zu integrieren. Dies funktionierte ausgezeichnet. Sowohl der Hub 2 als auch die Hygrometer lassen sich über die App manuell in die Apple Home App über Matter einbinden.Integration und KompatibilitätDie Integration war einfach und unkompliziert, was besonders angenehm war. Es gibt jedoch eine Einschränkung, die man beachten sollte: Die Anzahl der Geräte, die man über Matter in die Home App einbinden kann, ist begrenzt. Das bedeutet, dass obwohl das Thermometer und das Hygrometer physisch ein Gerät sind, sie jeweils als separates Gerät zählen. Wenn du also viele dieser Geräte für verschiedene Anwendungen, wie das Messen der Feuchtigkeit in mehreren Gläsern, verwenden möchtest, stöÃt du schnell an die Grenzen der möglichen Verbindungen.Integrierte IR-FernbedienungEin weiteres Highlight des SwitchBot Hub 2 ist die integrierte IR-Fernbedienung. Diese ermöglicht es, IR-Geräte wie Fernseher und Receiver über die App zu steuern. Es ist sogar möglich, Routinen zu erstellen, was diese Funktion noch praktischer macht. Die Nutzung der IR-Fernbedienung hat meinen Alltag wirklich erleichtert und ist eine feine Ergänzung zu meinem SmartHome.Zusätzliche Hygro- und Thermometer-FunktionDer Hub 2 verfügt zudem über ein eingebautes Hygrometer und Thermometer, was eine nette Zusatzfunktion ist. Diese zählen allerdings auch als separate Geräte, wenn sie mit Matter verbunden werden. Das sollte man bei der Planung und Einbindung seiner SmartHome-Geräte im Hinterkopf behalten.FazitDer SwitchBot Hub 2 ist ein vielseitiges und funktionales Gerät, das die Integration von Hygrometern in ein SmartHome-System ermöglicht. Die einfache Einbindung über Matter und die praktische IR-Fernbedienung machen ihn zu einer wertvollen Ergänzung für jedes SmartHome. Die begrenzte Anzahl an möglichen Gerätverbindungen ist der einzige Minuspunkt, den man bei der Nutzung beachten sollte. Ansonsten überzeugt der Hub 2 durch seine Vielseitigkeit und praktischen Funktionen.Im Ãbrigen kann man die Entwicklung von Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit über nützliche Diagramme auswerten. Hier ist ein Highlight die Angabe des VPD-Wertes, der für viele seit dem 1.4.2024 eine nützliche Funktion darstellt. ;-)Ich hoffe du findest meine persönlichen Impressionen nützlich.

Bought this to help automate my airco further, the temperature and humidity readings are accurate and the infrared blaster is a fun tool to help integrate and automate any devices you have that have a remote. I also ran the firmware update which brings Matter support and makes everything show up in Apple Home to control it from your phone or HomePod.
