Know a little more about Matter.

Well, almost, but not quite. You'd also need a home gateway from a third-party platform in your hands. Take Apple Home as an example. You'd still need a HomePod or Apple TV to be able to use SwitchBot products this way.

Up to 8 devices can be added. Previously, temperature and humidity sensors occupied 2 device slots, so only 6 devices were able to be added. But now you can adjust temperature and humidity sensors yourself.

I could possible be due to the fact that your Home Gateway (HomePod, Nest Hub, etc.) is not on the same network as your SwitchBot Hub. Due to the security requirements of HomeKit, adding devices using a public network may fail or lose functionality. It is recommended to use a personal network to add devices.

This could be due to your home gateway (HomePod, Nest Hub, etc.) currently being updated. You can confirm its current status on third-party platform apps such as Apple Home/Google Home, and wait for your update to complete before confirming. If this doesn't fix your issue, it is recommended to reset your gateway. We found that when you have multiple HomePod Minis configured at the same time in different places, there may be a situation where a certain devices cannot synchronize its status correctly.

We will continue to increase support for Matter on more and more SwitchBot devices as time goes on. Specific details can be found on our official website and social media.

Unforunately not. This will be applicable to SwitchBot devices only.

In our app, you can use the grouping function to allocate 4 Blind Tilt devices into one group. When this is synchronized to Apple Home, it only occupies one device placement. So theoretically, one Hub 2 can synchronize up to 32 Blind Tilt devices to Apple Home. This should help solve similar issues.
