All SwitchBot hubs are able to connect with your SwitchBot products, allowing remote control through the SwitchBot app. A infrared sensor is able to replicate the signal of the remote of e.g. your airconditioning or television, allowing to control these remotely in the SwitchBot app. Google Home is supported on all hubs, Apple HomeKit and other platforms are supported through Matter on the matter enabled hub mini and hub 2. Currently you can only expose up to 8 devices to Matter, but it’s possible to add e.g. two SwitchBot Curtains as one device.
The addition of the SwitchBot Hub Mini Matter Enabled is another choice to make when you need a hub for your SwitchBot products. In general, if you need Matter support for integration with e.g. Apple HomeKit or just want to be fully equipped for the next years, you can choose between this new Matter enabled hub mini and the hub 2. The latter adds a temperature, humidity and light sensor and programmable buttons which can be used in your automations. Given the price difference of only 10 dollars/euro, these are compelling reasons to choose the Hub 2 if you might want to use any of these features. Otherwise, the Matter enabled hub mini might be the right hub for you. If you’re a Google Home user or just want control your SwitchBot devices with the SwitchBot app, the original SwitchBot Hub Mini is a cheap option to remote control your devices.
