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 purchased the SwitchBot Hub 2 to replace my SwitchBot Hub Mini and yes, although it is more than twice the price, you have to bear in mind this is a hub, a IR remote, a thermometer/hygrometer, and includes SwichBot 'Button' on the Hub and it also supports the new 'Matter' standard. To be honest I got this so that I could monitor/control my 2 greenhouses in terms of temperature and humidity. My previous sensors and app were great when they actually worked, which wasn't often I am sad to say, but they worked via Bluetooth, which meant I couldn't monitor when I was outside the Bluetooth range i.e out and about - as you couldn't add them to you Wi-Fi. SwitchBot sensors are far superior too, not to mention that they cost a fraction of what I was paying for the other unreliable system. I have only touched on the one aspect of the Hub 2, it can do a LOT more though. All in all, I wish I had waited and I would have gone 100% for the SwitchBot system, so if you are just starting to build a 'system', I would fully recommend SwtichBot as THE system to invest in as they are adding items all the time too. 5 stars all day long from me... a great product !

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.

The SwitchBot Hub 2 works great. It connects my SwitchBot products to my Apple Home ecosystem via Matter. I have given it 4 stars as I would like to see the current limited on the number of exposed Matter devices increase. I know this has been increased on the Hub 3 but I would like to see this extended to the Hub 2 via a firmware update if possible. This is the only smart home hub that I have actually out on display as it shows the room temperature and has virtual on screen button that you can customise. I have the Hue Bridge, Aqara M2, IKEA Digeria and Smartthings Hub V3 and none of these are out on display as they aren't aesthetically pleasing and don't look like part of the home.

This central hub is easy to use, very configurable and provides useful shortcuts to other switchbot devices. Its a nice size for desktop use and provides matter integration also, which makes it good value for money.

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.

Gaat perfect

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.

Non vorrei esagerare con i paragoni scomodando Steve Jobs, ma ricordate la presentazione dell'iPhone? Ecco, l'accento era sulla poliedricità del device e sul fatto che in un singolo oggetto si riunissero, senza perdita di peculiarità, le capacità di 3 devices. Ecco, Switchbot ha fatto di meglio...loro dicono 4 in 1, io direi invece 6 in 1 e vi spiego perchè. L'hub2 è...un hub...un broadlink...un termometro...una coppia di action button e...un entry point nel nuovo protocollo matter...ed infine un oggetto di design ben studiato! Lavoro in ambito tecnologico da 15 anni ed ormai non mi sorprende più nulla riguardo le possibilità, infinite, che l'informatica e la tecnologia stanno dando e daranno al genere umano, ma ogni volta resto stupito dall'ingegno di questo brand che, seppur giovane, sà sorprendere per idee, realizzazioni e rapporto qualità/prezzo. Questo hub è il miglior prodotto ad oggi acquistato per il mio sistema domotico. Come sempre, passo ai dettagli: [ CONFEZIONE ] : 5/5 Sempre eccellente per quantità e qualità, tutto il necessario (ed anche più di quanto serva) in una scatola che inizialmente dubiti possa anche contenere il solo device. Oltre all'hub troviamo un piccolo ma ben scritto manuale di istruzioni, l'adattatore di corrente 5 v 2 a (prima importante differenza con il normale hub mini), il cavo usb che integra il sensore di temeperatura ed umidità, 2 adesivi 3m (per sensore e hub) la after sales card. Eccellente davvero. [ ESTETICA E QUALITA’ COSTRUTTIVA ] : 5/5 Non a caso nella intro l'ho definito oggetto di design. È piccolo, modernissimo, minimale, con un display decisamente accattivante: odio che sui devices bianchi, quando spenti, si veda il nero del display oscurato...e switchbot ha risolto anche questo, sfondo bianco, retroilluminazione bianca e risultato decisamente formidabile come potete vedere nelle foto che allego. Oltre alle dimensioni ed all'estetica sottolineo anche una qualità costruttiva impareggiabile...dal corpo principale, allo stand, finanche il cavo su cui è alloggiato il sensore è studiato affinchè il tutto, una volta in possesso dell'utente trasferisca allo stesso una sensazione di qualità superiore. Chapeau! [ FUNZIONAMENTO ] : 5/5 Installazione banale, in 1 minuto è tutto pronto e funzionante. Praticamente plug and play. Come dicevo nell'intro, il device viene venduto come 4 in 1: 1: hub. Ho sostituito la mia vecchia nuvoletta di prima generazione con questo. Che dire: in questo già si vede il passo avanti del brand da "giocoso" a consapevole di poter diventare colosso del mercato. La sorpresa piu grande? Sia per l'associazione dei numerosi bot che dei vari telecomandi precedentemente abbinati all'hub 1 non ho dovuto fare alcun rilavorato! Sono bastati un paio di click per trasferire tutto sul nuovo senza alcuna perdita di informazione. Grande feature! 2: Sensore di Temperatura ed umidità. Esattamente come quelli già in mio possesso, precisissimo e - grazie all'app - anche da remoto posso avere sia la temperatura istantanea che il trend del periodo di mio piacimento. 3 : broadlink: ho provato per tutti i tipi di telecomando che ho a casa. Non perde un colpo! 4 : Action buttons. Che figata! Ho posizionato il device accanto al divano del salone. In 2 semplicissimi passaggi ho configurato i 2 bottoni ed ora, senza pronunciare alcuna frase per alexa e senza usare il cel, con un semplice click apro e chiudo le tende di casa mia azionando lo switchbot curtain ad esse abbinato. Pazzesco :D Davvero Superlativo! [ PREZZO ] : 5/5 Di cosa vogliamo parlare? Degli 80 euro che, a chi non fa analisi di mercato obiettive potrebbero sembrare una cifra altina, oppure di tutte le features che incorpora questo concentrato di tecnologia? Mediamente un ottimo hub/broadlink costa 35 euro. Un termometro di questa precisione circa 25. Un telecomando con una coppia di bottoni almeno 20 ed a questo dovrete aggiungere un power adaptor da almeno 15. Arrivete a circa 100 euro. Con 80 euro, invece, risparmiate soldi, spazio e godrete alla vista di quel display e soprattutto nell'utilizzare un solo device per fare tutto. Brava Switchbot!
