Meross Smart Wi-Fi Hub MSH450 vs SwitchBot Hub 3

The SwitchBot Hub 3 wins overall by supporting more protocols, integrations and sensors, plus a screen and dial for on-device control. The Meross Smart Wi-Fi Hub MSH450 counters with a lower price, a higher owner rating and an Ethernet port.

The SwitchBot Hub 3 is a feature-packed control panel with IR, several onboard sensors, a screen and Matter bridging to five platforms, while the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Hub MSH450 is a simple Matter bridge for Meross's own Wi-Fi devices with a built-in siren.

The Meross Smart Wi-Fi Hub MSH450 has an Ethernet port for a stable wired connection, which owners recommend using. The SwitchBot Hub 3 is 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so it depends on a solid wireless network to stay connected.

Buy the SwitchBot Hub 3 if you want physical, off-the-phone controls, a strong IR blaster, built-in temperature, humidity, light and presence sensors, and Matter bridging to Apple Home, Google, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. It supports up to 30 devices.

Choose the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Hub MSH450 if you run Meross valves and sensors and want an affordable, wired-capable Matter hub with a loud 110dB siren. It only works with Meross devices, so it is best for an all-Meross sensor system.
