SwitchBot Hub 3
SwitchBot Hub 3
SwitchBot Hub 3 is useful when you need SwitchBot devices exposed into Apple Home, but it taught me a very “nature of the beast” lesson. Twice now, it’s taken all the child devices offline until I ran an update—so yes, it can be stable, but it can also surprise you at the worst time.
Pros
- +Brings SwitchBot devices into Apple Home via a dedicated hub
- +Proprietary approach can be straightforward to manage day-to-day
Cons
- -Hub updates can take child devices offline until updated
- -Adds another dependency in the Apple Home back end
What Make Smart Matter says
“They could be proprietary hubs like the Hue Bridge or the SwitchBot Hub 3”
“Proprietary hubs like the Switchbot Hub 3 might have an update waiting and take all of the child devices offline until it's updated”
