SwitchBot Remote One Touch Button - Compatible with SwitchBot Bot, Curtain Robot, Color Bulb, Plug Mini and Blind Tilt, Smart Home Easy to Control, Bluetooth Long Range 5.0

I recently purchased and tested about 3 weeks since I purchased about 3 weeks ago. For me, it has been a great addition to my smart home setup.Good stuffs below (also cons will follow after this ;)- As a non-techy(?) person (esp me, lol), the entier setup was incredibly straightforward, taking only about 10 minutes to pair with my existing devices. The vast code database made the process smooth.- I love the convenience of controlling up to 25 devices, including both IR and Bluetooth options. It has significantly decluttered my living space by replacing multiple remotes.- The ability to set up custom scenes is fantastic. I particularly enjoy the “Leave Home Mode” where my devices automatically power down, and my little itti bitty smart Robovac starts cleaning.- Integration with Matter is a game-changer. I can now control my Philips Hue lights and IKEA curtains seamlessly through the SwitchBot remote.- The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 150 days on a single charge. It provides peace of mind, knowing I won’t have to recharge frequently. I think it has motion sensor or movement sensor since I noticed it turns on the LED when I lift or grab the remote which was great!As not all products are perfect there are some cons as well:- The initial connection with some of my older devices took a bit longer than expected. While the extensive code database is helpful (I have attached screenshot of the app), it required a bit of patience to get everything working correctly.- Although it works with many devices, it would be nice to see support for even more brands in the future (more likely U.S. based), particularly for newer smart home products.Overall, this one was a solid investment (imo) for anyone looking to streamline their smart home experience. It brings convenience and efficiency to managing multiple devices, and the long battery life is a definite plus. Idk why it has some negative reviews, it might be not for someone who doesn't undeerstand any of technical products like this. For me? well, highly recommended, with just a few areas for improvement!

What makes this remote better than others I have tried is the integration with the SwitchBot app. I already had a bunch of the SwitchBot home control devices, like the Plug Mini, Hub, Color Bulb, temp sensors… I’ve liked all of it. This remote integrates with all those devices, and the app made it easy to add other devices like a FireTV, AppleTV, and an old Bose home theater system. There are soft buttons that get automatically integrated depending on what device is being controlled, and those buttons are configurable as well. The charging connector is USB-C, the firmware updates are simple as it automatically asks if I want to do it now or later, and the device itself feels solid and well made. The screen is well visible in various lighting, the size of the remote is perfect… and best of all it isn’t cluttered with 50 buttons. I would buy it again.

The SwitchBot Universal Remote Control with theHub Mini(matterversion) has been a game changer for my household. We have a complex setup with multiple devices like an Nvidia Shield, Dreo fan, and various home entertainment systems. This remote has managed to bring everything under one roof, making our lives much easier. Setting it up was pretty straightforward, although I did face some challenges initially. The app guided me through the process smoothly, and the customer support team was quick to assist with any issues. The Matter support integration is brilliant, allowing the remote to communicate with other smart home devices effortlessly. What I love most is the IR blaster, which can learn commands from older remotes. The build quality is robust, and the remote feels solid in hand. If you're looking to simplify control over multiple devices, this remote is worth every penny!

The media could not be loaded. I got introduced to Switchbot through their curtain rod product. I am very impressed by the detailed level of installation steps they given. Felt some one given very good thought about the product.I have a bunch of remote controls controlling, TV, Sound bar, Fire stick, Heater, Robo vaccum etc., I am in the market for a universal remote control to consolidate these devices. So picked up Switchbot Universal remote control due to my previous experience with the company.Battery life is good. with USB-C charging, its future proof and no need to search for a charging cable.Universal remote has an option to figure out the remote control by product and for non-branded products, we need to have their Hub, which learns and replays IR signals. I am using this for last 30 days and submitting support requests as I see issues. What impresses me is their support team is very responsive and continuously pushing updates to fix them. From my day one usage to now, product improved a lot and they continuously working on the fixes and enhancements requests I submitted. While the product is going through growing pains and improving, I am sticking with this product considering they are listening to customer feedback and improving it further.Here are some issues they fixed and enhancement they are working on1. not able to add Hub mini matter to samsung smart things. -- Fixed with firmware update2. Sync between app and universal remote is failing - Fixed with firmware update3.
