How to add the Switchbot Hub 2 to Homey Pro:

  1. Go into add a device in Homey Pro
  2. Add a matter device
  3. Instead of adding the device using HP, use the secondary option that allows you to add it using Android
  4. When asked to do so, put the hub in pairing mode by holding down the on and off button for 15 seconds until the device restarts
  5. When the hub is in pairing mode continue to add the hub
  6. When the Android process is complete and the hub has been added, before switching back over to the HP process (and before hitting the last blue button that finishes the adding process in the Android part), open the switchbot app and add the secondary devices in the matter setup tab (you will at this point be allowed to add secondary devices in the tab that wouldn’t allow you to previously)
  7. Go back to the adding screen and finish adding the hub through HP and it will recognize the hub and all of the devices that you added in the secondary devices tab

I’m sorry for the convoluted explanation but this is how I was able to finally get it to work. Let me know if you have any questions.
