SwitchBot Hub Mini IR Blaster Smart Remote

App: 1. Dark mode will be good. 2. Ability to have different button shapes and texts for customised remotes 3. For pre-programmed remotes. Allow us to change the text in the existing remote and ability to add more than 1 customised button if we need to. 4. For the temperature and humidity, allow us to set the data saving period. E.g 1 reading per hour. Tracking for safety and alerts can remain. Allow us to set how long to save the data to prevent long waiting times to download all the data. Eg save data for 3 days or 7 days, 14 days etc.

Shortly after receiving my SwitchBot Hub Mini, I had it controlling my Air Purifier, TV, Roomba, Roland Piano and two flameless candles. Setup was easy. After scenes were created, I added the SwitchBot skill to Alexa and had voice control working as well. I love the simplicity of the SwitchBot Hub Mini design. I doesn't require direct line-of-sight to each device, although it of course needs to be in the same room. I bought a second unit for my bedroom and set it up as well. The only glitch so far has been to get the candles working with Google Home. The Google home app does not acknowledge "Other" devices. Could SwitchBot add a device called "Candle" perhaps?

As far as smart hubs go, it does everything it needs to. It's also small, lightweight, and quick to recover from power failure (or reboot). The range is fairly decent. I use it to connect my temperature sensors and my Keurig via Bot, and my only complaint is that maybe 1 in 10 or 20 times, the Bot will not respond. Now, I don't know if it's the Bot's fault or the Hub, but it doesn't matter if I use a smart speaker or the Switchbot Remote; either way, the Bot never activates. Now, around half the time when I use Alexa, it tells me that it's not responding, but it works anyhow; that seems to be a delay issue. All this to say: it's not quite reliable enough to use on something important, at least not yet. But for my coffee machine? I can overlook that for the convenience.
