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: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great smart home hub with easy setup and excellent Matter support. The built-in temperature and humidity sensors are a nice bonus, and it works perfectly with older IR devices like TVs and Set-Top Boxes. This product is reliable, versatile and great value.

It's a bit crude, large bright thing that has to be on display for the light sensor to work, but it works and hasn't missed a beat. Open source support and local apis make this such a big deal.

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.

Fast delivery via amazon prime, the SwitchBot 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 works just as described, its very straightforward and easy to set up, Clear display, value for the money, has a very good signal; Perfect.

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.

The SwitchBot Hub 2 is a must-have for anyone serious about integrating SwitchBots into their smart home setup. It's the key to unlocking remote control and voice assistant integration (Alexa, Google Home, etc.), which is a game-changer. What surprised me most was the built-in humidity sensor. It actually proved incredibly useful during our recent house showing! We discovered our living room was more humid than we realized, and thanks to the Hub 2's alert, we were able to address it with a dehumidifier. The Hub 2 works seamlessly with our SwitchBots, and the app provides a ton of customization options. I love the onboard display – it adds a nice visual element and provides quick access to key information. My only real gripe is the price. It's a bit steep for what is essentially a bridge device. However, if you want to maximize your SwitchBot experience and utilize features like remote control and voice commands, the Hub 2 is definitely worth considering.

This is my second Hub 2. The first is in the kitchen and speaks to my Switchbot Blind Tilt and my Switchbot Lock. Setup is really easy, and I've never had any problems with it dropping off the WiFi like you sometimes have to deal with, with dinner IoT devices. It has a built in temperature and humidity sensor on the power cable if you want to use it, and that too can be exposed via Matter. I have 4 outdoor temperature and humidity sensors connected to mine (all exposed over Matter), but the thing I love most and the Hub 2 is that you can change the source of the temperature on the display. Mine is showing the temperature of one of the outdoor sensors, in a tree in my garden so I always have an idea of the temperature outside. The one in the kitchen is set to show the temperature of the back porch, so I know if it's warm enough to leave the door open and get some free heat from the sun haha. Definitely recommend for the features that I use. It also has the ability to send IR commands to other equipment which I have tested and it can successfully turn on my bedroom TV, but sadly the remote functions are not (yet?) exposed over Matter. The matter part of this is solid and unlike a certain well known brand of lighting that is matter compatible, I've never had this randomly dissapear from the matter controllers it is connected to. Home Assistant friendly, I have control over my blinds and my Switchbot lock via Matter and all 4 outdoor temperature sensors and the ones built in to both hubs all regularly update in home assistant.

Gaat perfect

Muy buena adición para integrar mis cortinas y cerraduras a home kit

användbar och högkvalitativ

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.

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 Kompatibilität Die 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, stößt du schnell an die Grenzen der möglichen Verbindungen. Integrierte IR-Fernbedienung Ein 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-Funktion Der 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. Fazit Der 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 Übrigen 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.
