Connection Terminal: The Hub 2 uses a USB Type C connection terminal, while the Mini Hub uses a Micro USB. 2. Sensors: The Hub 2 has temperature, humidity, and illuminance sensors, which the Mini Hub lacks. 3. Matter Function: The Hub 2 supports the Matter function, which is not available in the Mini Hub. 4. Manual Scene Touch Operation: This feature is present in the Hub 2 but not in the Mini Hub. 5. IR Decoding: Both hubs have this function, but it’s worth noting that the infrared sensor on the Hub 2 is more powerful than the one on the Mini Hub, meaning it can control infrared devices from a longer distance. 6. Design and Display: The Hub 2 has a better-looking device with an LED display. 7. Smart Buttons: The Hub 2 has smart buttons embedded into it, which allows you to shut down Air Conditioners, draw curtains, turn off TVs, and even put your Pan Tilt Cam into security mode with just one press of a button. 8. Matter Support: The Hub 2 found the easiest and most cost-effective way to integrate SwitchBot products with Apple Home by using Matter, which doesn’t require you to replace your existing SwitchBot products. 9. Improved Infrared Control: The Hub 2 has double the infrared transmission range, making it more stable and reliable. ===== Affiliate Links ==== **Sonoff discount**, SMARTHOMEAUS, has now been increased to 15% on ALL products!!
