IR remote

I have smart lights with an IR remote control. I was able to clone buttons from my smart lights IR remote through a SwitchBot Hub 2. Now I can replay these IR commands from Siri Shortcuts.

It took longer than necessary to do this as I needed to make a SwitchBot account, create a Home, Room, register the Hub, and then finally I could start adding the Device (IR smart lights). But once I jumped through all those hoops it didn’t take too long.

Lots of info

App is good and provides a lot of info. I have a couple of SwitchBot products and they all use the same app. Lots of granular control over notifications and alarms and it is quite fast.

Used to be fine, now it's bloated…

The app keeps getting worse with every update. The UI is cluttered with tiny buttons that are hard to tap, and simple tasks require navigating workflow on top of workflow. Remote customization options are surprisingly limited for a "smart" home product.

Instead of fixing basics, SwitchBot keeps cramming in half-baked AI features nobody asked for. On top of that, you get promotional push notifications you never opted into and in-app ads pushing their other products. I just want to control my devices, not be marketed at.
