Ecobee SmartSensor vs X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer

The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer wins on price, connectivity and alerting, since it can report on its own through a base station. The Ecobee SmartSensor counters with a longer warranty, longer battery life and broader platform support through its paired thermostat.

The Ecobee SmartSensor only works paired to an Ecobee thermostat and adds occupancy detection but no humidity sensing. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer measures temperature and humidity and reports through its own base station.

No, it measures temperature and occupancy only. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer measures both temperature and humidity.

No, it communicates with Ecobee thermostats over a proprietary radio and has no independent connectivity of its own.

Existing Ecobee thermostat owners who want room-by-room comfort balancing and occupancy detection.

Buyers who want a standalone temperature and humidity sensor with its own alerts.
