How to Control Any Device in Apple Homekit & Google Home with IR remote of SwitchBot Hub & Matter

SwitchBot Hub 2 and On/Off features of IR remotes, finally all exposed in Apple Homekit… this includes not only SwitchBot bot devices to turn on/off directly from your Apple HomeKit but also, any device that has a remote controlled by IR, now can be controlled from Apple HomeKit via Matter as well as Alexa or google home. That’s means much better coverage for home automation for non-smart devices :):)
Requirement:
You need Switchbot home hub 2, Matter enabled hub like Apple TV or HomePod.

1. Once you have switchbot hub setup done, ensure matter is enabled in the settings
2. Make sure you add your own device under IR appliances section in Switchbot App
3. If you want you can use learn feature to teach your own device's remote (this is what I mostly use)
4. Follow steps in the video
5. And finally you can have your device as a matter device in apple HomeKit and also in google home if Switchbot account linked to your google home.
