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

Great if you have adopted the Switchbot Eco System
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.

Capable little device!
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 24×7, 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!

Great product with some issues
Was initially very impressed with the product and how easy it was to set up and use remote devices with. After a while I noticed that it would often go offline randomly and I would be unable to control my devices, sometimes happening a few times a day. The only thing that would fix it was turning it on and off at the wall when I needed to turn a device on (defeating the purpose of being able to control my devices from my phone). I contacted the company and they were helpful and sent a replacement. I am still having this issue with the new one but less frequently. Maybe once a week. The idea and execution of the product is amazing! I love it! This is the only issue and it can be very annoying when you’re just trying to turn a TV on from your phone, you find the device is ‘offline’ and you have to go and turn it off and back on at the wall. I hope this issue is fixed as I don’t think it’s a hardware issue as I’ve had two now. Great costumer service though.

Eğer, konvansiyonel cihazlarınızı uzaktan yönetmek, akıllı cihaz olarak kullanabilmek istiyorsanız, “SwitchBot Hub Mini”, gerçekten mükemmel bir çözüm. Ben, benzer birçok ürün kullandım ve hâlâ kullanıyorum, bu kadar kolay kurulum yapılıp kullanılabilen bir remote hub görmedim. Umarım çalışma süresi ve dayanıklılığı da uzun olur.
Bu nedenle 5* verdim. Ayni markanın, yâni SwitchBot’un indoor/outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer’ını aldım. O da mükemmel çalışıyor, ölçümleri de çok doğru.
Tasarlayıp yapanlara da, ve esas olarak bu ürünleri bize tanıtıp, hızla ulaştıran Amazon’a da çok teşekkürler.

Does not have matter support.
Update:
Originally gave it one star but that was my fault for not doing the research. I ended up buying the Matter version because I wanted to use it with the switchbot universal remote in the living room and moved this to my bedroom. It ended up working with some switchbot devices I had n my bedroom and even used it to control my SMSL CD player. I integrated with Home Assistant which functioned no less than the hub with matter support other than the ability to add the universal remote to home assistant. basically, I want all my smart devices to pair with home assistant and ended up achieving it.
