SwitchBot’s new Hub 2 debuts at CES 2023. With its Matter support, SwitchBot ecosystem products are supposed to work with Matter through Hub 2, with the first to come being SwitchBot Curtain.
SwitchBot First Matter Hub with Thermo-hygrometer
SwitchBot Hub 2 is a Wi-Fi-based Matter hub that can make SwitchBot Bluetooth products Matter compatible. After connecting to Hub 2, these Bluetooth devices can be controlled on Apple Home or other platforms via Matter. Users can also check the temperature and humidity on Apple Home based on Hub 2’s thermo-hygrometer function.
SwitchBot Curtain Will Be Matter Compatible in February with Hub 2
SwitchBot Curtain will be the first to support Matter in late February when Hub 2 is officially launched. SwitchBot Curtain can be controlled on Apple Home App over Matter during the CES demo. It will officially support Matter via OTA when the final certification is done in late February. Other SwitchBot products will be able to support Matter in sequence throughout this year.
