Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor vs X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer

The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor is really a door and window contact sensor with a temperature reading bundled in, and that narrow sensing loses it this comparison against the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer, which wins on price, owner rating, sensor count and alerting. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer measures both temperature and humidity, while the Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor tracks temperature only, alongside its main job of detecting open, close and vibration events. The Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor answers with broader smart home reach, connecting to Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant over Zigbee. Buyers who actually want a door or window contact sensor with a bonus temperature reading should choose the Aeotec Multipurpose Sensor; buyers who want a dedicated temperature and humidity sensor should pick the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer instead.
