Finally, a Matter Hub That Just Works with Home Assistant (SwitchBot Hub 3)

In today's video, we’re taking a first look at the brand-new SwitchBot Hub 3 — the latest smart home hub that’s packed with Matter support, a physical control dial, onboard display, and a fresh design that might just earn it a spot on your desk or wall.

I’ll walk you through what’s in the box, how the hub works, its standout features, Matter integration, and how I’m using it with Home Assistant. We’ll also talk about what I don’t like and where SwitchBot could make it even better. Is this the smart hub to rule them all? Let’s find out.
