Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR vs SwitchBot Hub 2 comparison

Updated July 2026

Data from Amazon and official Moes and SwitchBot sites.

2026 verdict

Stepping up from a bargain sensor puck changes what an IR blaster can do: the SwitchBot Hub 2 wins this comparison on rating, protocols, integrations and sensors, adding a Matter bridge, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings support, and a light sensor on top of the temperature and humidity readings the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR already offers. The Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR holds on to one advantage, a lower price, while still handling the same core job of learning IR remotes and triggering automations from its own temperature reading. Both are WiFi-only infrared blasters with equally solid universal remote and smart-learning support, so the decision comes down to budget and ecosystem: buyers who just want an affordable, temperature-aware IR remote for one room can save money with the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR, while anyone who wants HomeKit compatibility, SmartThings, Bluetooth or a light sensor alongside the climate data should spend more on the SwitchBot Hub 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR or the SwitchBot Hub 2?

The SwitchBot Hub 2 is the stronger overall pick, with a broader integration list, an extra sensor and typically the better owner rating. The Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR only wins on price, so it remains the choice if budget is the deciding factor.

What is the biggest difference between the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR and the SwitchBot Hub 2?

Sensors and platform support. The SwitchBot Hub 2 adds a light sensor to the temperature and humidity readings both devices share, plus a Matter bridge that brings it into Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings, neither of which the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR supports.

Does the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR work with Apple HomeKit?

No. It is limited to Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The SwitchBot Hub 2 covers those same three plus Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings through its Matter bridge, giving it the wider reach.

Do both devices monitor temperature and humidity?

Yes. Both the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR and the SwitchBot Hub 2 have a built-in temperature and humidity sensor that can drive automations, such as starting an AC once a room warms up. The SwitchBot Hub 2 goes a step further with a light sensor as well, which the Moes device does not include.

Budget-focused buyers who want a straightforward, temperature-aware IR remote for a single room and are happy limiting themselves to Alexa, Google Home or Home Assistant.
