A Zigbee coordinator against an IR and Bluetooth hub with its own climate sensors: the SwitchBot Hub 2 wins on owner rating, integrations and sensors, bringing Apple HomeKit support, a Matter bridge, an infrared blaster for TVs and air conditioners, and built-in temperature, humidity and light sensors. The Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro is the cheaper smart home hub with the longer 2-year warranty, and it does something the SwitchBot cannot: coordinate a Zigbee network of up to 128 subdevices, including some third-party gear. The SwitchBot lists 8 subdevices and no third-party device support, since it is built around SwitchBot's own Bluetooth products. Both run on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and work with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Zigbee sensor networks point to the Sonoff; IR remotes, SwitchBot gadgets and Apple Home point to the SwitchBot.
