SeekerSwitchBot Hub 2
A step towards the future of the smart home, the SwitchBot Hub 2 brings Matter support to the company’s Blind Tilt and Curtain products today, with other devices getting upgrades in the future. Currently, Matter support is available through Google Home and HomeKit, which makes this a better upgrade for users of either of those systems today; in the future, a wider range of systems will be supported. For those that don’t have SwitchBot Matter devices, there’s not so much reason to upgrade, although new buyers can still use the Hub 2’s temperature, humidity and light sensors, and physical controls, while laying the foundations for future Matter upgrades.

Product details
- Smart WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer: The SwitchBot Hub 2 features a built-in industrial Swiss-made chip (accuracy up to ±1.8% RH/±0.36°F) in its cable. Additionally, the panel comes equipped with a light sensor, which enables the screen brightness to adapt to the environment seamlessly. The WiFi functionality allows you to monitor your home's temperature, humidity, and light data, as well as their variations, anytime, anywhere.
- Helps Consolidate All Your Infrared Remotes: With Smart Learning, our smart home hub can help you add tons of home appliance infrared remotes to our app to help make home life simple. You'll then be able to control appliances such as TVs, Air Cons, and more using Voice Commands (e.g. Alexa) or even using our app or your Apple Watch.
- Use with Scenes and Geo-fencing: Temperature, humidity and light detected by SwitchBot Hub 2 (2nd Gen) can be used as automatic scene conditions as the trigger condition to control devices such as air conditioners to help maintain a comfortable environment at home. Use with other SwitchBot products to realize more automation scenarios with the help of our smart home ecosystem.
- 2 Smart Buttons Included: Our device comes with two buttons to allow you to set up household appliances or automation scenes to be controlled when using our app. Just simply tap lightly and enjoy a host of different home automation possibilities, especially suitable for the elderly or children who cannot use smart phones or voice commands.
- Supports Matter: SwitchBot Lock, Curtains and Blind Tilts are supported via Matter when using SwitchBot Hub2 (2nd Gen), which in turn helps make your device supported via HomeKit (support across other devices will come shortly after). Our hub also allows you to use third-party smart assistants such as Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home for an even better smart home experience.
