SwitchBot Universal Remote (Hub Required)

I'm very happy with my hub, it makes thermometers send temperature data in my home, so I can get historical info. With one thermometer it was a good experience, but I have 4 devices in my house and this is really cool.

So far so good it's a bit tricky setting up but once you get the hang of it it works well! If there is no code for the remote you can learn just about every button from the remote but I will say this this item blows away that crappy atomi device that thing is such garbage I would never recommend it but this device yes I would!

Have a media room with speaker reciever, projector, laptop, Alexa Fire stick, etc. Finally found a remote that allows me to only have to use 1 remote. Was very easy to link to Alexa and I like the set-up. Overall very happy with the purchase, and excited to only have 1 remote for my media room.

I used the Logitech universal remote for years, which no longer has any tech support and had pretty much given up that there wasn’t a universal remote that could do multi-step functions without needing an engineering degree to program. Until I found Switchbot! This thing not only looks good but feels good! I use this only for my home entertainment system, so I can’t attest to the other smart home features but to be able to program multi step functions like turning your tv on, turn it to a specific input, turning your sound system on and your stream box with one push of a button this thing RULES! There’s a bit of a learning curve initially programming it but I’m a simpleton when it comes to electronics and even I was able to figure things out. There’s not a huge brand pool yet that will automatically recognize your specific brand of appliance (which I’m assuming will change as the pool grows) so you might have to manually program each remote button with specific brands of TV’s and Blu Ray but the hub had absolutely no problems recognizing each button. The only thing i wish this cool little remote could do is mimic certain features you get on say, an appleTV remote, like long press functions and voice commands, but those are just small things. If you’re looking for a powerful universal remote to replace your beloved Logitech universal remote that's easy to program, skip the Sofabaton and go with Switchbot!

The remote serves as a fantastic all-in-one device. I am absolutely loving it so far! As of July 8, 2024, the only things I would ask for are the ability to add more scenes and the ability to order scenes and devices as I wish, rather than having all my devices listed first, then all my scenes.

I brought this product for its IR capabilities. It was very easy to set up and add remote controls to it and then create scenes that could be triggered by my Alexa voice assistant to trigger any buttons I had mapped. Also expands my smart home ideas if I decide to use other SwitchBot products. Overall could not recommend this product more

I attached a switchbot to a remote control for my LiftMaster gate - a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the real thing. Put the remote with the bot stuck to it in a front window sill in range of the gate, and placed the hub right next to it. Works perfectly. Hooked into Alexa so I can open the gate from anywhere for deliveries and guests. No interest in trying out the RF capabilities - happy with just being able to open my gate through Alexa.
