SwitchBot Hub Mini Smart Control, Universal IR Remote Hub for Smart Home, IR Remote for TV and Air Conditioner, Connect SwitchBot Devices to WiFi, Works with Alexa, Google Home, Siri, IFTTT

I recently purchased the Switchbot Curtain Rod 2 and installed this is my bedroom. They work fantastically, but it was a little frustrating having to open the app every time i wanted to open/close the curtains. The app is very well designed but it just felt like a faff to keep going into my phone every time. As a result i decided to order the swithbot button which works great. On further research i came across the hub mini which allows your switchbot devices to connect with Alexa/Google Home. Having a ton of alexas in our home i thought i would order and give it a try. The hub mini is a very small and compact device. Installation was super easy, connect to a USB power source (cable but no plug included - however i just plugged the included USB lead into a wall socket with USB power points). Connecting the hub to the app was again very simple - the app walks you through this. Within a couple of minutes i had linked the hub to the relevant switchbot Alexa skill and voila - my curtains were now Alexa controlled! Once connected to your wifi network you can also remotely control devices away from your home environment, such as opening your curtains from work or even abroad! Fantastic for security. What i was not aware of is that the hub mini also has an infrared sender, so you can set this little guy up to control your other smart devices - this includes your TV, Projectors, Sky etc. Programming the device to control my Optoma projector was a piece of cake - the app again walks you through this and inputing the manufacturer and model number of your smart device finds the relevant IR codes. You then walk through a test screen to ensure the buttons are all doing what they are suppost to do. If any of the buttons don't work properly or your device is not known then the app allows you to send your own IR codes directly by pointing your remote at the hub and pressing the relevant button. It auto learns this code and programmes the remote in the switchbot app. Overall if you have switchbot devices then the hub mini is a must! It's good value and has a ton of extra features that i didn't even know it had. I hope that you found my review helpful.

High-quality device from a reputable German company! I had several SwitchBot temperature/humidity sensors for 1.5 years - used them in a couple of greenhouses for a while but this winter I put 3 of them into my beehives to monitor the health of the colonies during cold weather. To collect data 24x7, even when you are far away from the sensors, you will need this nifty mini-hub. It performed very well - no faults and reliable connection to the sensors in the garden at range 25-30 meters. I you want details about how to create custom daily graphs as well as Email alerts with a hub mini - go to GitHub and search for "hivemonitor" then select the repository called "drmuttik/hivemonitor". See an example graph. I very much recommend this capable little device!

Easy to set up and I was able to use thew iPhone app to learn and then turn on/off a IR unit, I am only able to do this using their “Switchbot” app. However, following the instructions on their website [How to use the "Shortcuts" app to control SwitchBot devices?] I was not able to control the device using Siri shorts or IFTTT. I contacted support and have waited 7 days with no response except an automated reply. I received a reply from SwitchBot customer service and have not been able to get the device integrated into Alexa and Siri. This is an excellent device that is perhaps let down by lack of clear documentation. I revise my score to 4.5/5. Here is my summary of the steps you may need to take. For my IR device (electronic candles!) I wanted to turn on/off with Siri Shortcuts (or Alexa). First I learnt the remote control for ON/OFF: In home, at the top left, “+”, select “IR Appliance”, “Others”. Then select the hub listed, “Add”, and start learning from the remote. Point your remote at the hub, push the remote button and release, you can then test/or save with a name (e.g. ON). When the buttons on your remote have been learnt, select the tick at the top right. Set a nickname, e.g. “Candles”. We next create a “Scene” which uses the buttons you have just learnt, this allows us to create a shortcut for Alexa or Siri. Click the “Scene” at the bottom, click +, add condition, as “manual execution”. Add an action – choose one of the buttons, then select “cloud Service”, you can now choose Google/Amazon/IFTT or Siri! And you are done!

Quick and easy to set up and worked perfectly! I can now control my mum’s TV from anywhere in the world just using my iPhone. Highly recommend this if you are a remote carer or have a loved one or kids at home to look after when you’re out. But you will need a wifi camera, so you can see the TV otherwise you won’t know what buttons to press on the app/remote control! ❤️

We have had the Switchbot Hub Mini for a little while now and haven’t had any problems in the time we’ve had it. It integrates well with Alexa meaning we can use Alexa to control other Switchbot devices for example ask the temperature of different rooms in our house or she can control the ir controls (for example turning the tv on/off, usually part of a routine we have set or turning on the tv from another room giving the tv a chance to turn on etc). When we are not home we can check in on the app and see the temperature of different rooms in our house (the hub means you can see these things on the app when you’re not home) giving peace of mind when we are away and our house rabbit is being looked after that the room isn’t too hot/cold). It is easy to set up and add into the Switchbot app and also easy to set up ir controls for different products. Also handy that to power the Switchbot hub is a usb connection meaning it can be plugged into other devices that are always on to power it or into a usb adapter plug (which most people have now days). All in all I would definitely recommend buying one of these if you are thinking about buying any other Switchbot products or even just looking for an ir remote.

部屋の雰囲気に合わせてブラックを購入！男前なかっこいい仕様です

Funciona excelente te con Alexa controlando el York, aún en los ajustes secundarios.

The device was advertised as supporting 8 matter devices (still not a lot), but in fact it only supports 4. Switchbot has since then changed the description to mention the 4 device limit. I've returned the Hub Mini Matter and Switchbot has generously send me a free Hub 2 Matter, which supports 8 matter devices.

Le hub est facilement configurable. Pour les thermomètres, il faut stocker les données dans le Cloud pour pouvoir y accèder depuis l'extérieur. Cela fonctionne très bien. Le plus de ce mini hub est qu'il est capable de dupliquer les télécommandes infra rouge de vos appareils. J'ai fait le test sur un lampadaire qui fonctionne avec une ampoule infrarouge et avec la télévision. Cela fonctionne correctement une fois les touches apprises. Vous pouvez donc contrôler d'autres appareils avec ce hub. Investissement qui vaut le coup !

SwitchBot製品はもちろんですが、リモコン付きの家電なら大体のものは操作できました。 私の場合、リビングの照明のリモコンが壊れていたのですが、このハブミニでまた操作できるようになり大変助かりました！
