Switchbot Universal Remote
I tested the SwitchBot Universal Remote as a true “one remote” solution, and it delivered: IR control, Apple TV support, and SwitchBot device control in one place. Once I programmed IR, I could control all five TVs in my house with the remote’s built-in IR blaster. The big win is pairing it with a Matter hub so I can run scenes and even trigger Shortcuts from the buttons.
Pros
- +Built-in IR blaster can control TVs directly after programming
- +Supports Apple TV (beta), plus Fire TV and Chromecast
- +Four programmable buttons for device functions, scenes, or shortcuts
- +Works great with SwitchBot devices and can control Matter devices with a hub
Cons
- -Matter control limited to four devices at the time of recording
- -I experienced one freeze that required a full reset
- -IR setup initially required moving the hub room-to-room
