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!

I was initially hesitant to purchase this because I noticed several negative reviews about the standalone universal remote, but I decided to give it a shot.I've been looking for a universal remote for quite some time and I’m pleased with the this remote and hub bundle so far. My media room setup includes a speaker receiver, projector, laptop, and Alexa Fire Stick, and this remote has successfully consolidated all these devices into one manageable system. The ability to seamlessly switch between HDMI1 and HDMI2, especially with the recent firmware update, was a nice touch. The IR learning function allowed me to combine my TV and sound system remote functionalities, which has proven to be very convenient.

This is my third product I have purchased from Switchbot and this one did not disappoint. It was easy to install and I am, admittedly, not great with technology! You just have to charge the device, go to the app to add the device and then pair it with your appliance. In my case, I paired the remote with appleTV and it gave me step-by-step instructions on how to do so. There is even a 'find my remote' function in the app where the device beeps so you can locate it if you forgot you put it or can't find it. I am now going to add the other devices I have!

The remote itself has no built-in microphone. Which means you can't voice search anything. Roku remotes has this function why wouldn't this? So it's already behind in technology. You also need to download the switchbot app in order to program your remote. The app is also pretty slow. The remote is bulky. So for the money, it's not worth it.

Wow! This remote has impressed me, I have been using it for my sound bar, my TV, and my lights as well! It’s come in handy way more than I originally thought it would. Setting it up does take some patience but once it’s all set up it’s really easy to use. I also really like that’s it’s rechargeable! It’s very functional and has helped make my home work as one unit which is just what I was looking for, I hate having multiple remotes around the house and now I can just use one for everything!

This switch is nice and feels good, but it doesn't integrate with Alexa or Google Home. It also only offers 2 actions that can be performed, 1 per button, instead of the 3 actions per button that competing remote devices can do (many competing devices allow short press, double press, and long press to each perform an action). The lack of integration with Alexa and Google Home is also a problem, because without integration this device can only control other Switchbot devices. In comparison, some (but not all) competing devices integrate with Alexa and allows triggering Routines, which in turn allows controlling other things.Only buy this switch if you plan to control other Switchbot devices and only need 2 actions. Overall Switchbot is a great company and has great products (I own several), but they don't cover the full spectrum of IOT smart home devices, so supporting integration with non-Switchbot devices is essential in my opinion.
