Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor vs X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer

For climate monitoring, the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer, which measures humidity, sends humidity and low battery alerts, and costs less. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor is the better device when the job is a door, a window or a vibration alert, which the X-Sense cannot do.

What they sense. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor detects open and close, vibration and tilt and reads temperature only, while the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer measures temperature and humidity with no contact sensing at all.

No. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor measures temperature alongside its door and window contact, vibration and tilt sensing, and it has no humidity sensor. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer is the one of these two that reads humidity.

No. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer is a temperature and humidity probe with no contact or vibration sensing. For door and window detection, the Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor is the right tool.

Yes. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer has no Wi-Fi of its own and communicates over a proprietary 868 MHz radio, so an X-Sense SBS50 base station is required to receive the readings.

The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor. It covers Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer supports only Alexa and a community Home Assistant integration.
