What the differences mean

Screen

The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 has a 3.1" LCD, so you read temperature and humidity standing in the room. The Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor has no display at all; you open an app or a dashboard to see anything.

How it connects

The Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor speaks Zigbee and needs a hub or a Zigbee coordinator to work. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 uses Bluetooth straight to your phone, which is simpler to start but means you must be in range to read it live, with logged history synced when you reconnect.

Smart home support

Through an Aqara hub, the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor reaches Google Home, Alexa, Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter, and it also works with Home Assistant. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 supports Home Assistant only, over Govee BLE, and none of the voice platforms.

Sensors

The Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor also measures atmospheric pressure, which the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 does not. Most people never miss it, but weather-minded automations can use it.

Size and power

The Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a 36 x 36 x 9 mm, 13 g puck on a CR2032 rated for 2 years. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 is 96 x 72 x 33 mm and 108 g on 2x AAA batteries, a body made to be looked at rather than hidden.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors agree on the essentials: readings that match dedicated thermometers, quick setup and enough value to buy several and scatter them around the house. Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor owners single out the tiny size that slips into fridges, freezers and covered outdoor spots, and the way it sits quietly inside HomeKit, Home Assistant or a Zigbee dongle setup. Their complaints are a fragile battery cover and a minority of units with much shorter battery life than rated. GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 owners talk about the readable LCD with min and max values, the app graphs with dew point and VPD, the exportable history and push alerts, plus a battery that lasts about a year. They warn that it is Bluetooth only, that live reading needs you in range, that remote monitoring needs a Govee hub and that it runs on non-rechargeable AAA cells.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
