Hub 3 (3rd Gen), Smart Home Hub with 2.4" IPS Screen & Knob Control, WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer, IR Remote (Matter/Bluetooth 200m), Alexa/Google/Apple Home Compatible

My good experiences with other SwitchBot devices over the years encouraged me to try the SwitchBot Hub 3 for some extra functionality with a SwitchBot Lock Ultra Touch Combo that I purchased recently. What is really nice about this unit is that it does so many different things. I like having temperature displays and remote monitoring of temperature, but I also like the direct access programmable buttons on the unit… As it did in my case, if you have a use for one feature on the Hub 3, you will likely also find something else it can do for you, making it a great value at a reasonable price. The unit is well made and feels sturdy while also being compact and lightweight. I am finding more and more SwitchBot device solutions as they expand their already very broad ecosystem, and it is nice to consolidate devices into a single app. The Home Screen on the Hub 3 is customizable to display time, temp & humidity with the built in sensors or external sensors, the status of other SwitchBot devices, locks, etc. There are 4 programmable soft keys on the Hub 3, a rotary dial, and some fixed function keys for navigation. The screen can be dimmed or turned off and can be motion sensitive, if desired, to turn back on upon approach, which the operation and sensitivity of is programmable. The connection range from SwitchBot devices to the hub is impressive, as well as WiFi connectivity to the router. The Hub 3 will control infrared devices as well, for example, giving the ability to adjust stereo volume or channels from another room from within the app on a customizable screen. The range of the infrared emitter is excellent. This is an awesome feature that works really well. I am super happy with this setup, especially the programmable soft keys. I have a multi room garage where the lights are all plugged into outlets via extension cords that aren’t wall switch controlled. I have gotten around this in the past by using the SwitchBot app, which is excellent, to turn the lights on/off from the app. Now, I have several other better solutions. The Hub 3 mounts to the wall, on a table, or anywhere I like. The 4 soft keys available to control devices or directly enter into menus in the Hub 3 are incredibly handy. I programmed several soft buttons on the unit to operate all of the garage lights in tandem, so now I have a physical “switch” mounted on the wall at the entry door with no building wiring required. In addition, utilizing Scenes and Automations in the app to control the SwitchBot Switch (a plug in device that has a physical switch, an app controlled switch, and even monitors energy usage) I can have the garage lights turn on automatically when I activate the lock keypad or open the door. I have them programmed to turn off late at night if I forget. I need to stress the level of customization that is easily available in the app between the Hub 3, lock, lock keypad, Switches… and all of the SwitchBot devices. If you can follow the menus you will find many options, most with descriptions of what the option does and how it works. The app has many methods of customization and integration with home control systems from Apple, Google, Amazon, Matter, etc. The layout of the SwitchBot app is easy to work with and it is stable… this is important because so many good devices come with poorly designed and glitchy apps. If I find any issues I will report back, but at this point I am very satisfied with the solutions the product offered.

Definitely an upgrade from the Hub Mini, which I have used for about 4 years now. While incorporating all the old IR Blaster and BLE connection functions, you get the temp monitoring, as well as knob and button controls for quick changes to Switchbot gear without having to access the app. Also, the BLE connections seems to be stronger and more reliable than the old hub, which is nice as well. The Matter standard is nice, though I don't have many devices that rely on that yet. All in all, a worthy upgrade to the old app with significant new features--it's actually worth the money if you have added more Switchbot devices or moved to a larger home.

I've had it for a day now and it seems to work quite well. It maybe sort of overkill for what I want but the price is actually rather low given it's capabilities I'm ok with that. I'm using it to control a pretty full boat home theater system. The good parts are the ability to add devices and learn codes works well and the support for Bluetooth as well as IR. The troublesome part was getting it integrated with my phone. It was quite fussy and insisted on a couple of settings I would rather not use. In particular the 5GHz setting seemed to be a problem. The library of devices already known to the remote is fairly thin so I will be spending time teaching it my TV, BD player and preamp. But I really don't mind that. Given that the remote I was using is no longer programmable at all thanks to the fact that the company that made is strictly enforcing no end user programming.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the SwitchBot Hub 3 has really impressed me. From the moment I set it up, everything just worked. The app is super smooth and easy to use. I had the hub up and running in no time, and adding devices was a breeze. What I really like is that it has built-in temperature, humidity, and light sensors, which is great for automations. For example, I’ve got it set up to adjust lights depending on the brightness in the room, and it’s been super reliable. I’ve already added quite a few devices (you can connect up to 30, which is awesome), and I’ve had zero issues. Another big plus: it works with Matter, so I was able to connect everything to Apple Home without any complicated steps. Being able to control things through Siri has made life a lot easier. Overall, I’m really happy with it. Everything feels solid and well thought-out. No connection problems, no glitches, just a smooth smart home experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to build out your setup. I was using the Hub 2 previously and I was able to transfer all my devices to Hub 3 in no time.

The hub integrates IR and BLE items into other hubs (e.g. HA or Smartthings). It does NOT, however, display other SwitchBot BLE nodes on its screen...which is disappointing.

I have a fair amount of experience with home automation. As an automation engineer I generally find home devices quite easy to navigate. This device is the worst. Seemingly straightforward things like selecting a clock as the default screen or retaining last controlled device may not even be an option. The instructions are the worst in memory, frequently stating to “make sure” for a specific requirement without even vague explanation or a simple link as to what is to be checked. It is required to use multiple systems/companies apps, but general work flow is not explained or illustrated. Just pairing per instructions took several attempts and then worked without any obvious change to process. Programmed remote buttons for tv will work for a time and then need relearned again. This device does NOT live up to the hype. Look for it in a landfill near me soon.

I just wanted a simple way to connect to apple home. This is crazy over kill

I primarily use Apple Home with an Apple TV as my hub, and the SwitchBot Hub 3 has truly taken my smart home setup to the next level. Thanks to this hub, I was able to connect my portable air conditioner to Apple Home. Before, I had to manually open the app every time I wanted to control it. Now, I can trigger it with simple shortcuts directly from the Apple Home app, which is way more convenient — especially in the summer when I want to cool down the house before getting home. One of the best features of the Hub 3 is its built-in sensors for temperature, humidity, and ambient light. These let me create custom automations, like automatically turning on the AC when it gets too hot. That’s especially important for me since I have a small dog at home, and I want to make sure he’s comfortable and safe during hot days while I’m away. I also have scenes set up to turn on lights when I arrive in the evening, making the home feel more welcoming. The Matter support makes integration with Apple Home incredibly easy and seamless — no complicated setup required. On top of that, I was able to connect several “non-smart” devices that use infrared remotes, like fans, lights, my soundbar, and more. Now I can control all of them with Siri or automate them based on time or conditions in the home. One thing I especially love about this new model is the ability to use physical buttons for triggering simple and efficient shortcuts. It’s incredibly satisfying to be able to quickly control devices or scenes with a tap, without always relying on voice commands or navigating apps. Overall, the Hub 3 has become a central piece of my smart home. It’s easy to install, works reliably, and adds smart functionality to so many older devices. I recommend it without hesitation and I’m more than satisfied with my purchase.

Le SwitchBot Hub 3 est un excellent hub. Possédant la première version du hub SwitchBot, cette nouvelle version apporte de nombreuses nouveautés. Ce modèle va désormais bien au-delà d’un simple hub : - Il permet toujours de connecter l’ensemble de vos appareils SwitchBot, facilitant le contrôle à distance et la création de scénarios. - Le Hub 3 intègre un capteur de température, d’humidité et de luminosité. - L’infrarouge a été amélioré avec une portée étendue, ce qui vous permet de contrôler une large gamme d’appareils "non connectés" classiques (TV, climatiseurs, projecteurs, etc.) via l’application SwitchBot ou les assistants vocaux. Solution idéale pour rendre vos anciens appareils intelligents. - Le Bluetooth a également été ajouté, permettant notamment le contrôle de votre Google Chromecast. - Le Hub 3 est équipé d’un écran LED clair qui affiche des informations essentielles (température, humidité, état des serrures SwitchBot) et dispose de boutons tactiles personnalisables ainsi qu’une molette de contrôle. Cela permet un contrôle direct des appareils et des scénarios, sans toujours passer par le smartphone. C'est très pratique :) - Son design noir minimaliste lui permet de s’intégrer discrètement dans n’importe quel intérieur, que ce soit posé sur un meuble ou fixé au mur. - Enfin, le Hub 3 agit comme un pont Matter, permettant de connecter vos appareils SwitchBot à des écosystèmes comme HomeKit, Google Home et Home Assistant (que je vais bientôt tester :) ). Cela ouvre la porte à une intégration plus fluide et à un contrôle unifié, même avec des produits d’autres marques compatibles Matter. Si vous avez des produits SwitchBot, je vous recommande ce nouveau Hub 3, qui est simple à configurer, complet et efficace :)

Inizialmente scettico sull'utilità di avere un'altro hub per i miei devices SwitchBot (ho già un Hub 2 e un Hub Mini Matter) ma curioso di provarlo: ringrazio la mia curiosità !!! Anche gli altri hub hanno caratteristiche di tutto rispetto, ma questo SwitchBot Hub 3 offre finalmente delle funzionalità che lo rendono meno "una scatola tecnica" senza appeal... Uno schermo non invasivo ed in grado di fornire informazioni dettagliate (e personalizzabili !) molto versatile e piacevole da vedere/leggere, alcuni tasti funzione di base per operazioni comuni e soprattutto, ben visibile ed in primo piano, un comando tipo "moviola" per gestire device multimediali. Incorpora un comodissimo trasmettitore IR (infrarossi) per poter replicare qualsiasi telecomando abbiate in zona (o disperso in giro per casa): dalla TV al condizionatore, ma anche per un ventilatore, un amplificatore, etc (purche' ad infrarossi, ovviamente, non a radiofrequenza !). Oltre gli aspetti estetici, che avrete già notato, ci sono i sono i soliti aspetti qualitativi e di packaging a cui Switchbot ha abituato i propri clienti: confezione precisa, ordinata e ben studiata, ed un contenuto di altra qualità, che include persino la dima per fare i fori sul muro nel caso preferiate una installazione a parete. Ho optato per l'installazione piu' classica, a scrivania, con il supporto fornito, per avere sottomano la situazione dei device collegati. Collegandolo infatti ad altri prodotti Switchbot che già siano presenti in casa, e' possibile comandarli comodamente dall'Hub, mediante i tasti, o mediante delle routine smart che potete creare con pochi semplici passi, utilizzando l'app. Di recente sto iniziando a prendere confidenza con lo standard Matter, e l'Hub 3 e' già perfettamente in grando di gestire i device compatibili: e' un buon punto sicuro da cui iniziare (soprattutto perche' arriva a gestirne ben 30 !). I tasti personalizzabili sono poi una piacevole comodità: non solo e' possibile attribuire ad ognuno il controllo immediato di un particolare device, ma addirittura sullo schermo appare, in corrispondenza del tasto impostato, l'icona corretta del device scelto per quel tasto ! Incredibile ! Non e' facile riuscire ad approfondire tutte le funzioni e le personalizzazioni che permette, tutte configurabili facilmente nel dettaglio tramite l'app SwitchBot: e' una continua piacevole scoperta ed una continua meraviglia. C'e' anche, e non ne avevo trovato traccia nella documentazione in prima battuta, un sensore di presenza e di prossimità (lo schermo si riattiva e la tastiera si illumina quando avvicinate la mano) ! Pertanto, la mia curiosità iniziale trova una importante conferma, che credo mi farà riposizionare gli Hub già presenti, per fare in modo che questo diventi, a pieno titolo, l'Hub principale di casa. Se siete in dubbio quindi, non esitate, ma state attenti ! E' un prodotto che da' assuefazione e stimola continuamente nuove idee di configurazione della vostra casa domotica !

El SwitchBot Hub 3 es un concentrador muy completo para los productos de SwitchBot, pero además destaca porque permite añadir y controlar mandos a distancia por infrarrojos. En mi caso, he podido incluir sin problemas el Apple TV y la televisión. Gracias a esto puedo controlar el volumen de la tele, apagarla o encenderla, poner pausa en el Apple TV, reproducir contenido, etc., todo desde un único dispositivo y también mediante automatizaciones. Otro punto muy interesante es que incorpora sensores de iluminación, temperatura y humedad. Estos valores se muestran directamente en la pantalla del hub, lo cual resulta muy práctico para consultar de un vistazo el estado ambiental de la habitación sin necesidad de abrir ninguna app. En conjunto, es un dispositivo muy útil que centraliza tanto los productos SwitchBot como otros dispositivos del hogar, aportando comodidad, información y control en un solo equipo. Muy recomendable para cualquier hogar domótico.

Looks very sleek and has a wall-mounting option via screws or 3M adhesive. Alternatively, a nice stand for it to sit on a surface. Works very well, and is intuitive. It responds instantly and does what you press - whether that's shortcuts or menu options. The display is clearly readable from across the room. A twist of the dial can alter brightness of lights, or even open my curtains! It's great!
