Supported hardware
unawair needs a smart-home hub and a thermometer (or a single smart remote that does both). It currently talks to SwitchBot and Nature Remo APIs. If you already own gear from either, you’re set. Otherwise the lists below show recommended devices and example bundles.

Example bundles
Section titled “Example bundles”Central HVAC
Section titled “Central HVAC”One AC unit covers the whole house (Mitsui Home’s Smart Breeze One and similar). The AC body lives in a dedicated HVAC room or ceiling space, so the hub goes in there for IR line-of-sight. Spread 2–3 meters across the living rooms so the input temperature is the average of where people actually are. See the whole-house auto-control use case for the full walkthrough.
- SwitchBot Hub Mini (in the HVAC room, for IR)
- SwitchBot Meter × 2–3 (in the living room, bedroom, etc.)
Single room
Section titled “Single room”You only want one room (bedroom, study) on automation. A SwitchBot Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2 alone handles both temperature sensing and IR control.
- SwitchBot Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2
Per-room control
Section titled “Per-room control”Living room, bedroom, and study each on their own comfort range. IR signals don’t pass through walls, so put one hub-with-thermometer in each room (Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2 — mixing vendors is fine).
- One SwitchBot Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2 per room
Redundant setup (never stops)
Section titled “Redundant setup (never stops)”Register the same AC with both SwitchBot and Nature Remo. If either vendor’s service hiccups, the other carries on. With Hub 2 or Hub 3 on the SwitchBot side, the built-in thermometer means no extra meter is needed.
- SwitchBot Hub 2 / Hub 3
- Nature Remo mini 2
