So the time is here! We're upgrading our Matter experience once again! Not only do we have over ten new SwitchBot products added to support Matter through SwitchBot Hub 2, but we have also optimized the number of devices that can be added and provided some tips for using them for an even better Matter experience.

    It’s not thread-based matter to the vacuum directly, but matter over wifi using their Hub 2 as a bridge, but I just tested and it works! The vacuum shows up as a binary OnOff plug, toggling it on starts a cleaning session, and off cancels the session and returns the unit to base.

    I should note, I had to update my Hub 2 firmware to V2.0-1.2, which also adds the ability to swap out the temperature and humidity sensors to other devices for being a matter bridge, which is nice.

        For me, it didn’t prompt the upgrade when I went to the firmware page, but it did prompt for it when I went into the matter settings page.

        I think Switchbot does slow rollouts, but if it’s not available for you yet you can just send them a message in the feedback page of the app and they’ll probably be able push the upgrade to you (I’ve done this a couple of times for previous matter releases).
