You forgot to include the affiliate link to the painting. It's the only thing in this video I don't already own, and it's the thing that I need the most! xxx
Sending a signed copy your way 😂 x

Watch out! He's always looking for new avatars to add to his videos. You don't know where one created from you painting might end up. It's far more interesting than the exploding head one he has now. 😄
Love the sense of humour you have in your videos Stu, its fun but not irritating, it definitely makes you stand out from the crowd .. keep up the good work.
The SwitchBot Hub2 is by FAR greater then the Hub Mini on every level! I can control Alexa based devices off the temperature/humidity levels of this Hub and control SO many other things. AND even send me notifications of said temp/humidity levels that was NOT available before. YES the IR blaster range is MUCH better that the HUB mini and can also be "programmed" to control other IR devices and works WELL indeed! This Hub 2 opens up SO many options I can't even list here and use daily.
Point your camera at it to see all the IR blasting from it. It's probably bouncing infrared off the walls and ceiling.
I like the cable temp. I always hide away my temp devices to avoid getting hit by sunlight ie wrong temp.
By the way, I had a temp sensor from them where the display stopped working. I contacted them and they sent me a new one without hesitation. Big plus in my book!
Thats a good point- hadn't considered things like sunlight hitting them (my house is quite gloomy, so don't really have this issue)!
Great video Stu. I think you just talked me into getting the hub!
I also contributed to the thumbs up in support of the painting ^^
I like your story telling style. Calmly.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Nice review! I’m just waiting for payday tomorrow to order one of these.
I hadn’t thought about using the IR to replace a fan remote. Now I can pop the original bot off my floor fan and use it somewhere else. Thanks, Stu!
No worries Toni! Glad i could be of some inspiration!
I have but with a different IR sender, I could not get the "on" function to work but everything else did. Hopefully the version on Switchbot works better. Got to be worth a go eh.
That picture is amazing! Great idea, Stu!
I have 2 Hub2 and 1 Hub mini at different areas of my house. I use the buttons for curtains, but I also have the remote buttons. The outside temperature/humidity sensor was the best addition. You can switch the diplay on the Hub2 to be its own temps, or you can choose the outside sensor temps no matter how many you have. Wish: switching display would be easier.
The broadlink RM4 pro does the IR blaster stuff and has the same cable.
Handy video. Thank you!
Nice review, keep up the good work 👍🏾
Appreciate it!
Great video!
Can you explain how did you setup those candles remote?
Damn you Stu! Always making me spend money!
Great review.
Great review do you know if this has the Sky Q set-top box in the database?
Nice review.....and what a piece of art - lol.
If you guys cant convince my wife, I might auction it... or donate it to the tate gallery.... 😂
Interesting video Stu, love the painting, where can I get one? Now the hub, mine cost £20, it has a button which only controls switchbot products (I already have one of these and it cost £10.50) I can never find anything to do with it though as it can pretty much only control the finger or curtains. I currently have visual temperature and humidity sensors made by switchbot which cost £13. So total of £44 ish. No good reason to upgrade. But I can see that if you are about to enter the switchbot universe it may well be a consideration. Well I would suggest don't bother, wait for the sales or until people with lots of money are selling off their old hubs for tiny amounts of money and get those. When did they put the standard hub price up from £20 to £35? One might think they did this just so that their new hub didn't look quite so expensive??? hmmmmm
Well great video Stu, keep up the good work. I have liked it, I hope you get to 1K likes. 😜
Stu, love the videos. Just looking for a new desk chair and saw the Hinomi review but note you seem to be using the Titan? I am 6ft 1 and 15 stone which would you recommend for 8hrs plus daily use?? Thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Using both! SL is in the relax room, HN is in the editing suite 👍
What's the range like?Any chance it could control something through a door? I'd love to have it control the air conditioner in my bedroom, but also the soundbar on my TV in the next room over. Seems like a lot to get two of them just for that purpose.
Hey Stu, I have some questions about Homekit/Siri integration for IR:
- How does it integrate IR devices into HomeKit? Each one is separate with multiple contols? Each command is a separate item? ...
- Can you make homekit "buttons" that link together multiple commands? Eg for a TV: turn on + go to input + set volume
- Can you access all of that with Siri?
- Does the Hub 2 itself connect to HomeKit over matter, or something else?
My goal is to control my airco with Siri "turn on/off Airco, rise/lower temperature, change to fan mode, change to cooler mode, ..."
Kind regards,
Andrei
Hi, I have the same questions, did you figure out if you Can Do that with this hub 2 ?
@Stu , can you give me the link for the candles please 🙏 Great review 😎
That picture is killing me. I did my part to help you get to 1K likes. Good luck my friend. 👍
I love your videos! I have the Echo Show 15 and the Echo Show 10 (1 gen) I also have a lot of smart bulbs that I added with Tuya app on my phone. HOWEVER, my smart bulbs and adapters are constantly disconnecting.AND, unfortunately Alexa doesn't always recognize may of my devices. WHEWWW! I'm wondering if this SmartBot2 or the Amazon4 would be a way for me to improve my smart devices without having to buy another more expensive device to make my smart home devices work more effectively with my Alexa Echo Show 15???? PLEASE HELP. Thanks!😇
I have an old Switchbot Hub Plus Cloud. Whenever it loses power, it has to be manually reconnected. to wifi. Is the Hub 2 the same way?
I tried using IFTTT to set scenes with Phillips hue and it's slow
Stu, I tried to hit the the thumbs up multiple times for you get you more likes towards your goal, Unfortunately this was unsuccessful. Hope you get there Sir!
Clothes matches study. I look forward to having a study when all the kids love out.
Just curious, are they truly IR, or are the 433MHZ? We have a lot of holiday lights with those little remotes and (I think) they use 433.
Great point you brought up! I was thinking YES I will also be able to control my Nexus lights with this hub. But seeing your comment reminded me that Nexus uses 433 RF control :( I cant find anything on Switchbot website saying it supports that. Only Infrared.
I am curious about what brand those candles are lol
I think I am Number 1000. You're welcome 😛 hope she enjoys the majesty of the painting.
I did my part. I cant wait til she gets to see this for the rest of her life
Nearly there 👀👀👀
Didn't I see this yesterday with The baldy dude😂
Ill have to swap out my old Switch bot hub now
You did. And now you get the weekend full of us again 😂
Also… yes switch it out 100%! This one is miles ahead in features! (Doesn’t come with the painting of me seen in this episode unfortunately though)
@Stu’s Reviews I will so...
And wheres my ❤😢
Have 2 💚💚
@@StusReviewsUK ha....whens the next unboxing
Liking to help the picture stay in the living room!
💚😂
😂😂😂😂 what a gallery
It’s now on my wall in pride of place 😂👌
A tee shirt? Has to be considered :-)
The fact that you are locked into a particular supplies infrastructure or ecosystem is what is preventing me from taking the plunge with smart homes this needs to be eradicated so that you can pick the best parts from each supply and have them work together. I thought that is what protocols like zigbee and matter were supposed to do, but this is looking unlikely
Cmon guys get this 1K likes
Great review, this is a great looking product but sorry I disagree with you on this one. This is to expensive for a hub, yes I know you get more than a hub but it fundamentally is a hub at the end of the day
It depends largely on what you want personally I guess. If all you need is to add a couple of SB tech to your smart home then yeah, the mini is a cheaper way to go for sure - BUT, if you’re like me and have SB kit in almost every room then it’s a no brainier!
@@StusReviewsUK yeah I completely get that but I still think it's a tad to expensive, when it goes on sale I for sure will seriously consider it myself to replace the hub mini
Oh no Kiera, what have you done?! 😅
Also where can I get a biblical epic Stu portrait from? Asking for a friend... 🍆
You've extremely long
Arms
I’m 6ft8.
It can do stuff that other stuff can do with a tenth the compatibility at 4x the price.
If they want to succeed they need to cut their prices because their stuff just doesn't cut it when you can get better zigbee based almost identical devices and can do out a whole flats windows in the cost of one with switchbot. They aren't worth it.
???? My SwitchBot Blind Tilts cost a fraction of anything else I am aware of to automate my more than 30 blinds in my house. I recently acquired one and four, Switchbot Blind Tilts. The Hub 2 was less than half the 80 pounds mention here. Please share if you have a less costly solution than this.
FM, F'ing magic that is how IR works. Sorry but for your wife's benefit I hope you don't get 1000 likes but I likes it anyway.
