Hub 3 (3rd Gen), Smart Home Hub with 2.4" IPS Screen & Knob Control, WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer, IR Remote (Matter/Bluetooth 200m), Alexa/Google/Apple Home Compatible

My good experiences with other SwitchBot devices over the years encouraged me to try the SwitchBot Hub 3 for some extra functionality with a SwitchBot Lock Ultra Touch Combo that I purchased recently. What is really nice about this unit is that it does so many different things. I like having temperature displays and remote monitoring of temperature, but I also like the direct access programmable buttons on the unit… As it did in my case, if you have a use for one feature on the Hub 3, you will likely also find something else it can do for you, making it a great value at a reasonable price. The unit is well made and feels sturdy while also being compact and lightweight. I am finding more and more SwitchBot device solutions as they expand their already very broad ecosystem, and it is nice to consolidate devices into a single app. The Home Screen on the Hub 3 is customizable to display time, temp & humidity with the built in sensors or external sensors, the status of other SwitchBot devices, locks, etc. There are 4 programmable soft keys on the Hub 3, a rotary dial, and some fixed function keys for navigation. The screen can be dimmed or turned off and can be motion sensitive, if desired, to turn back on upon approach, which the operation and sensitivity of is programmable. The connection range from SwitchBot devices to the hub is impressive, as well as WiFi connectivity to the router. The Hub 3 will control infrared devices as well, for example, giving the ability to adjust stereo volume or channels from another room from within the app on a customizable screen. The range of the infrared emitter is excellent. This is an awesome feature that works really well. I am super happy with this setup, especially the programmable soft keys. I have a multi room garage where the lights are all plugged into outlets via extension cords that aren’t wall switch controlled. I have gotten around this in the past by using the SwitchBot app, which is excellent, to turn the lights on/off from the app. Now, I have several other better solutions. The Hub 3 mounts to the wall, on a table, or anywhere I like. The 4 soft keys available to control devices or directly enter into menus in the Hub 3 are incredibly handy. I programmed several soft buttons on the unit to operate all of the garage lights in tandem, so now I have a physical “switch” mounted on the wall at the entry door with no building wiring required. In addition, utilizing Scenes and Automations in the app to control the SwitchBot Switch (a plug in device that has a physical switch, an app controlled switch, and even monitors energy usage) I can have the garage lights turn on automatically when I activate the lock keypad or open the door. I have them programmed to turn off late at night if I forget. I need to stress the level of customization that is easily available in the app between the Hub 3, lock, lock keypad, Switches… and all of the SwitchBot devices. If you can follow the menus you will find many options, most with descriptions of what the option does and how it works. The app has many methods of customization and integration with home control systems from Apple, Google, Amazon, Matter, etc. The layout of the SwitchBot app is easy to work with and it is stable… this is important because so many good devices come with poorly designed and glitchy apps. If I find any issues I will report back, but at this point I am very satisfied with the solutions the product offered.

I just got my hands on the SwitchBot Hub 3 and I have to say, the setup process was a huge relief compared to what I expected. Setting it up was incredibly quick and easy; I connected it to my network in no time and it just started working immediately. Since I already have dozens of SwitchBot devices in my home, I didn't feel the need to worry about using Matter for everything, but having a central hub that handles the rest was exactly what I needed. I'm really looking forward to how this new setup will streamline my daily routine. I'm upgrading from the Hub Mini, and honestly, the new remote functionality on the Hub 3 is super exciting to use. I know from reading other users' experiences that some smart home hubs can feel clunky or require too much configuration, but I'm optimistic that this one will be different. While I've seen some reviews mentioning that physical buttons on hubs can sometimes be confusing or impractical, I'm hoping the integration with Home Assistant will make the experience much smoother for me. I'm particularly interested in seeing if the built-in sensors for temperature and humidity work well without needing extra devices. Overall, I'm feeling very positive about this upgrade. The ease of connecting it to my existing ecosystem is a major plus, and the ability to control everything from one device is something I've been waiting for. I'm going to put it through its paces over the next few weeks to see if it lives up to the hype, especially regarding the remote features and how well it integrates with my current setup. For anyone looking for a simple, reliable hub to manage their SwitchBot collection, this seems like a solid choice.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the SwitchBot Hub 3 has really impressed me. From the moment I set it up, everything just worked. The app is super smooth and easy to use. I had the hub up and running in no time, and adding devices was a breeze. What I really like is that it has built-in temperature, humidity, and light sensors, which is great for automations. For example, I’ve got it set up to adjust lights depending on the brightness in the room, and it’s been super reliable. I’ve already added quite a few devices (you can connect up to 30, which is awesome), and I’ve had zero issues. Another big plus: it works with Matter, so I was able to connect everything to Apple Home without any complicated steps. Being able to control things through Siri has made life a lot easier. Overall, I’m really happy with it. Everything feels solid and well thought-out. No connection problems, no glitches, just a smooth smart home experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to build out your setup. I was using the Hub 2 previously and I was able to transfer all my devices to Hub 3 in no time.

Products are good, but their firmware updating is a nightmare. Now my device is useless because I cannot roll back to the old version, yet the new version is not installable. They need to hire better engineer.

Definitely an upgrade from the Hub Mini, which I have used for about 4 years now. While incorporating all the old IR Blaster and BLE connection functions, you get the temp monitoring, as well as knob and button controls for quick changes to Switchbot gear without having to access the app. Also, the BLE connections seems to be stronger and more reliable than the old hub, which is nice as well. The Matter standard is nice, though I don't have many devices that rely on that yet. All in all, a worthy upgrade to the old app with significant new features--it's actually worth the money if you have added more Switchbot devices or moved to a larger home.

I thought I was buying a device I would be able to centrally control my other smart home devices. What I currently have is a functionless brick that tells me the temperature. That needs me to go buy a complete different product from a completely different brand to use the matter compatibility with other devices in my home. This ONLY works for switchbot devices it does NOT offer built in compatibility with any other brand. Unlike other smart home hubs in the same price bracket. They make a point to try and sell you something on every page in there app. They try to get you to opt in for ad's on things they want to sell. The IR / Remote learn feature is either, finicky, takes several attempts to register, or straight up doesn't work. The hubs stand came with something lose inside clattering around. The remote didn't even come with a plug to charge it just a Type-A to Type-C cable. The output on the hub is Type-C so you can't even charge the remote off the hub. The device IS matter compatible. The device CAN'T communicate with other matter devices on it's own. The devices looks and feels nice. The UI seemed fairly intuitive. The setup process wasn't terrible. If I'd known I'd still need to buy a hub for home assistant. To ALLOW the matter compatibility. I would have absolutely spent my money on that. Rather than this now useless brick that does nothing currently.

The SwitchBot Hub 3 has quickly become the backbone of my smart home setup. Setup was straightforward, took less than 10 minutes, and pairing with my other SwitchBot devices was effortless. The IR blaster works flawlessly, letting me control my old TV and AC with voice commands through Alexa and Google Home. What really stands out is reliability. Commands are instant, schedules trigger on time, and the app interface is intuitive. The compact design blends in nicely, and the hub’s range is strong enough to cover my whole living area without issue. It’s rare to find a device that bridges modern smart devices with older appliances so smoothly. If you’re looking to centralize your home automation without frustration, this hub is an easy 5 stars

I've had it for a day now and it seems to work quite well. It maybe sort of overkill for what I want but the price is actually rather low given it's capabilities I'm ok with that. I'm using it to control a pretty full boat home theater system. The good parts are the ability to add devices and learn codes works well and the support for Bluetooth as well as IR. The troublesome part was getting it integrated with my phone. It was quite fussy and insisted on a couple of settings I would rather not use. In particular the 5GHz setting seemed to be a problem. The library of devices already known to the remote is fairly thin so I will be spending time teaching it my TV, BD player and preamp. But I really don't mind that. Given that the remote I was using is no longer programmable at all thanks to the fact that the company that made is strictly enforcing no end user programming.
