Non of these "toys" are going to come close to replacing the Harminy Ultimate Hub+Remote. Logitech BLEW it when they decided to discontine the product line of Harmony remotes.
I still use Harmony remotes everywhere, with an old Mac to program them. I really don’t understand what went through Logitech’s mind. Really. They still are the best in my opinion.
since it supports matter, I am optimistic it will not take long until we get it. Really hoping for it as well. The mechanical design looks really nice.
Unrelated, but when will there be an update to the Matter integration for Apple HomeKit? It's quite confusing to learn which devices are updated to support the new SwitchBot Hub which will in turn with with HomeKit :)
I forgot how much SwitchBot's ecosystem had evolved since the introduction of the original Bot, but this looks to me like it could or might be something like the Sofabaton X1S but without the software security issues that has (according to what I read online) and managed by a mobile app with a better UX. (Edit: it seems that unlike with the Sofabaton remote, the hub isn't included and I'd havs to buy a separate SwitchBot Hub 2 as well to get the functionality I want. Interesting, but could also allow for multiple hubs and one remote or vice versa.) Someone else commented about Home Assistant support, which may be interesting if it does as I don't currently have any other SwitchBot products (I plan to get some in the future) and my other IoT products are spread across 3 ecosystems that I then bridge using Home Assistant.
I have one of those high end smart tv from Samsung the remote is all brushed metal aluminum and it has only 4 buttons but it does control xbox and also ps5 its weird
If your Sky TV has Matter, that will basically guarantee it, but I don't know if it does honestly. Won't be able to tell about IR programming until it comes out likely.
Press circle to pause and play and the side buttons to rewind and fast forward. I don’t see why anyone would need a record button as cable is pretty much outdated.
I feel that going with white was a bad design decision for something that is touched often, including maybe by kids even. It’s going to look awful pretty quick I think. But I guess time will tell. I’m happy someone else is in the market making universal remotes though.
Great unfinished product... Advertising FireTV support or any IR appliances, even the damn S10 that is first party... all don't work yet. I was confused when i got my remote today and almost nothing worked, had to go through a faq to find out i'll have to wait a month for a firmware update?! Why release a product when it's unfinished?
Support for Home Assistant and complete Offline working, and you atleast have 10 orders from me for my Joint Family House. zinternet requirement or no Home Assistant support, and I am out already, even if it is a great product.
these days just use my phone... all my lights, my tv, my ac, why would I need a remote. im never without my phone or smart watch or laptop or smart device.
Might come in an update one day, until then you'll at least be able to enjoy some insanely awesome home automation and be able to control all your devices at home too.
THE LAST PART OMG??? 😂❤ IT ALWAYS DRIVING ME INSANE WHEN REMOTE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IM SOLD
Dats wassup 💅🏻
Alright, this is interesting, now at least someone actually made things to make things easier.
It's not as easy as it looks. You also need to buy a hub so your remote can work with your devices
Its like a remote that universal

BASED
Everything always gets replaced eventually.
@@lo_fye True, I just wish thisone time it had not happened. Was really hoping another company would buy it from Logitech... 😭😭
Does this work in HomeAssistant?
The only Reason I would actually buy this is if it worked with home assistant. If not it’s a waste of money for me😂
Check out Cantata Haptique RS90
It does not (yet), it's only Switchbot, Apple TV and Fire TV (yet)
since it supports matter, I am optimistic it will not take long until we get it. Really hoping for it as well. The mechanical design looks really nice.
wenn kein Home Assistant dann ist es nicht zu gebrauchen
If this remote can learn/receive IR code from other remote, it will be useful!
+1
According to the website, it requires a hub that's sold separately.
Logitech had that 15yrs ago.
@kbhasi I already have the hub it does learn ir codes
@@laborspythis is even better
Nice concept
Are you trying to fill the void left by harmony/how much was harmony considered in the design/ operation?
can you use this without the hub ?
Hoping for API like your other great products!
Unrelated, but when will there be an update to the Matter integration for Apple HomeKit? It's quite confusing to learn which devices are updated to support the new SwitchBot Hub which will in turn with with HomeKit :)
Should have had a Play/Pause button on it.
that's why you have the circle center one.
this is supposed to have Matter support, has anyone gotten it working in Apple Home via a Switchub 2.0? can't figure it out

Bigger and better by the day! ❤️
Looks cool
Thanks!
No mic for voice assistants in the remote? Can't really replace the fire TV remote then can it.
I have one of those high end smart tv from Samsung the remote is all brushed metal aluminum and it has only 4 buttons but it does control xbox and also ps5 its weird
We need official Home Assistant Support, I wouldnt even mind if we need to buy the hub aswell to get it working
after going through 6 TCL tv remotes I am ready to try something new. I wonder if it supports it
Huge product model database! Over 80,000+ devices included! You can even learn remotes with Smart Learning :D
how easy is it to configure is the point.. you show only after configuration part, show something before and the struggle behind to configure ;)
Works for my car too
It can also be thrown at people
Just for the record, we do not condone using this remote for any violent action. This is a remote for lovers... of automation.
@@SwitchBotOfficial😂
Will this work with sky TV in the UK?
can't see why wouldn't work with a modern UK television as most of them have an OS on the TV now people plug in a fire sticks to so it should work
If your Sky TV has Matter, that will basically guarantee it, but I don't know if it does honestly. Won't be able to tell about IR programming until it comes out likely.
It's a set top box I've a feeling it's actually Bluetooth and IR as you can "talk" to it by holding a button on the remote
Can’t wait for someone to run Doom on it
I'd rather play Alien Trilogy on it, if I could...
The real question is can it run *Doom* ?
Only Doom II... no wait, just kiddin'.
My phone does that too
One control to loose them all!
Lacking a lot of TV/set top buttons, i.e. pause, play, record, rewind, etc
Press circle to pause and play and the side buttons to rewind and fast forward. I don’t see why anyone would need a record button as cable is pretty much outdated.
okay so we have xiaomi lite as remote now
Apple TV ?
Does this have RF control, or just IR?
Based on this video I would guess IR and Bluetooth.
@@gtrscort1 Correct
Now, What happens if i lose it?
Lose it at home? It is able to sound off an alarm so you can find it :D
Can it work with a PS5?
Hope so, cuz my Sofabaton X1S couldn't. It also couldn't switch inputs on my receiver, so I returned it.
Behind : the pain of seting up the remote
After: sheer bliss in a whole new world. Yes, the Disney Aladdin kind.
Can this mow my lawn?
If it’s a lawnmowing robot that has matter capability then most likely yes it can mow your lawn
I have an app which does the same job. Why even have a remote?
when you ask yourself this question, this product isnt for you
If this is customizable with IR commands, take my money!
Yes, it is!
@@SwitchBotOfficial Haha, not yet!
Isn’t this what phones are for?
I feel that going with white was a bad design decision for something that is touched often, including maybe by kids even. It’s going to look awful pretty quick I think. But I guess time will tell. I’m happy someone else is in the market making universal remotes though.
We're happy too!
I have redmi phone with IR blaster
Our app can do the same thing, but sometimes people prefer a remote, hence... this.
Logitech885 , is that you ? Thanks to f4mi for making a video about it a while ago hahahah
so a smartphone without cellular in the form of a remote.
Click 2006 Adam Sandler😊
Haha, this made me LOL, blast from the past!
Please make a hub 3 that can control RF device, I am sure it will sell like hotcakes pair with this Universal remote.
My RedMi Phone does all of that
Sad that we went from voice controlled smart assistant back to a remote which will do its job. There go i finding my remote again
Mi Remote: Am I joke to you?
Yes.

Got too many remotes? Just get another one!
Lost your remotes? Consolidate them! Start automation with just one button? Use it! ;D
Support for Home Assistant and complete Offline working, and you atleast have 10 orders from me for my Joint Family House.
zinternet requirement or no Home Assistant support, and I am out already, even if it is a great product.
So... it's not like Click by Adam Sandler...I'm out(but still want it though)
Just make sure you don't buy it from Bed, Bath & Beyond. (You should def. get ours though)
Well that's my mi phone
these days just use my phone... all my lights, my tv, my ac, why would I need a remote. im never without my phone or smart watch or laptop or smart device.
Not really universal if it only works with switchbot devices.
It works with Infrared devices too...
I sure hope it doesn't made me speed up my entire life and makes me die a sad and lonely death
Might come in an update one day, until then you'll at least be able to enjoy some insanely awesome home automation and be able to control all your devices at home too.
@@SwitchBotOfficial awesome!
I'll buy it for $15
Has to include all those accessories since its worthless without them
LOL
I can do all of that from my phone 😂😂😂 is free with phone why i give you mony😂😂😂😂 my alexa do same also😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s should be an app on your phone, like who agrees.
We have an app...
😂😂 EVEN IR PHONES HAVE ALL IN ONE REMOTE!😂😂 Terrible.. who will buy this nonsense
Tired to all this gimmick
I am honored you were still able to muster up the strength to leave this comment though ❤️ True love!
I have a MI PHONE
