Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor vs SwitchBot Meter Pro

The SwitchBot Meter Pro wins overall. It measures humidity, has a large 3.6-inch display with time, date and weather trend, costs less, carries a higher owner rating, and supports Google Home, Alexa, HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor reads temperature only and has no display.

The SwitchBot Meter Pro is a feature-rich temperature and humidity monitor with a big information display and broad integrations, while the Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor is a Zigbee contact and vibration sensor that also reports temperature but has no humidity sensor and no screen.

Yes. Its 3.6-inch display also shows time, date and a weather trend indicator. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor has no display at all and shows nothing on the device.

The SwitchBot Meter Pro works standalone over Bluetooth for local readings, with a SwitchBot Hub adding Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor always requires a Zigbee hub to function.

Buyers already in the SwitchBot ecosystem, or building an indoor/outdoor weather station, who want a large, glanceable temperature and humidity display with automations and, via a hub, HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Matter.

SmartThings and Home Assistant users whose priority is Zigbee door/window contact and vibration detection with a temperature bonus, not dedicated humidity sensing or an on-device information display.
