One extra reading makes the difference: the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor wins this temperature and humidity sensor matchup because it also measures atmospheric pressure, which the SwitchBot Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer does not. The SwitchBot Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer is the cheaper of the two and brings IP65 weather resistance, so it can sit outside where the Aqara cannot. Almost everything else is level: a 2-year battery rating, a 1-year warranty, no screen, temperature and humidity alerts, automations and history. Their radios differ, Zigbee through a hub for the Aqara and Bluetooth with a SwitchBot Hub for the SwitchBot, and the Aqara reaches SmartThings and Matter only through an Aqara hub. Pick the Aqara for an indoor Zigbee setup that wants pressure data; pick the SwitchBot for outdoor use or a tighter budget.
