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

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.

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! ❤️

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!

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.

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

The hub can only support 4 (!!!) devices over matter, not. 8 as claimed. Incredibly overpriced for such a device

I bought the hub mini to connect Switchbot to my google home. It has been great to be able to switch on my heater before I arrive home so I return to a nice warm house. I can also use voice command to turn off the heater when I am already in bed. Great product!

LG Klimamın kumandasını ve LG TV nin kumandasını hemen tanıdı. Artık telefondan her ikisini de kontrol edebiliyorum. Ve otomasyon kurabiliyorum. Klimamın derecesini ayarlayıp istediğim saatlerde açılıp kapanmasını sağlayabiliyorum . Akıllı ürün oldu siwtchbot sayesinde . Çok kompakt bir ürün, küçük ve şık tasarımı var . Odada duruyor ve mesafe problemi hiç olmadı hep düzgün sinyal gönderdi ve sorunsuz çalıştırıyor. Teşekkürler

mogę sklonować dowolny sygnał IR i aktywować go zdalnie z telefonu, 1 urządzeniem włączam i steruję: -Telewizorem -Wzmacniaczem -DVD -Dekoderem TV -SwitchBot Botem (światło)
