After reading the above, many of you may still think
“Yeah ok great, but my remote control is still the best option“.
So, how can we fix this?
The answer is simple: operation through Bluetooth!
By directly connecting your smart remote control to your smartphone via Bluetooth, instead of relying on unstable servers and routers, you can minimize the route that the infrared signal passes through when operating.
With
Hub 2, the process of processing signals and transmitting infrared codes through the cloud is moved to your SwitchBot Hub 2 itself. When you first start up Hub 2, after learning the remote control of the corresponding infrared appliance, you can select
Offline Control from the settings screen. This will store the infrared codes that were originally saved in the cloud on your Hub 2. And as a result, it is now possible to call up infrared codes without going through the router or server. Your smartphone can directly connect to Hub 2 via Bluetooth, allowing it to emit infrared signals to control your appliances.
As a result, even without an internet connection, you can control your infrared appliances. Moreover, since the steps required to connect are minimized, the response speed is faster than before too.
