Note:
1. In firmware version 2.0-1.2, SwitchBot Blind Tilt can now be set to either fully closed (down) or fully closed (up), instead of only fully closed (down). Once fully closed (up) is set, Apple Home will work in fully closed (up) mode.
2. The number of sub-devices that can be synced to Apple Home App via Hub 2 is 8 in total, including Hub 2's own temperature and humidity and 6 other devices. With firmware version 2.0-1.2, the Hub 2 temperature and humidity can be synced/deleted to the Apple Home App as a sub-device, if you don't need them, you can delete the temperature and humidity data and sync any eight other sub-devices instead.
3. With firmware version 2.0-1.2, the icon for SwitchBot Bot in Apple Home app has been changed from light to fan or outlet. You may need to delete the previously synced Bot from your Apple Home App and then re-sync it to change the icon.
4. The firmware version 2.0-1.2 now enables SwitchBot Remote button to control devices added in Apple Home. You need to register a SwitchBot scene to SwitchBot Remote using the SwitchBot App first and then set up Apple Automation. At this time, it is not possible to delete the scene that has been previously registered to the Remote. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the simultaneous triggering of SwitchBot scenes when using the Remote to control devices in Apple Home.
5. The firmware version 2.0-1.2 now enables on & off buttons of SwitchBot Hub 2 to control devices added in Apple Home. You also need to register a SwitchBot scene to on & off buttons using the SwitchBot App first and then set up Apple Automation. You can delete SwitchBot scenes that have already been registered to the on & off buttons in SwitchBot App later.
6. In Apple Home App, the robot vacuum cleaner appears as a switch, on = clean, off = recharge.
7. At present, infrared remotes registered using the "Others" method in the Apple Home app can only be used to turn remotes on and off.
8. When you sync a Universal Remote Control via Hub 2, it occupies the slots of two sub-devices. This means that if you sync one Universal Remote, you can sync up to six additional sub-devices to the Apple Home App. The reason for this is that the Universal Remote has four buttons, each capable of controlling other HomeKit devices from the Home App. In this setup, every two buttons are counted as one sub-device, so the four buttons together count as two sub-devices.
9. Currently, CO2 readings are not supported on the Apple Home App.

Great to know there will be Matter support for Remote via Hub2.
I'm wondering how long the development will take? Will it be ready by the end of 2023?
can I adjust the temp of the AC from the home app?
When will there be matter support for the Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer ?
