What the differences mean
Weather resistance
The Eve Weather carries an IPX4 rating, so it can live on a balcony or in a garden. The SwitchBot Meter Pro has no IP rating and is meant for a wall or a tabletop stand indoors, with outdoor readings coming from a separate SwitchBot sensor.
Connection
The Eve Weather uses Thread and needs a Thread border router already on your network. The SwitchBot Meter Pro connects over Bluetooth, and adds Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter through a SwitchBot Hub.
Screen
Both have a monochrome display with a weather trend. The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6" LCD that also shows time and date, while the Eve Weather has an always-on display that owners find hard to read in bright light.
Atmospheric pressure
Only the Eve Weather measures atmospheric pressure, alongside temperature and humidity. The SwitchBot Meter Pro reads temperature and humidity only.
Battery
The Eve Weather runs on a CR2450 coin cell, with no rated life documented in the catalog. The SwitchBot Meter Pro takes 2x AA and is rated for about a year, and it lists low-battery alerts.
Which one to buy if
- the sensor will sit outdoors on a balcony or in a garden
The Eve Weather is IPX4 rated, and the SwitchBot Meter Pro is not built for weather.
- you want a big, glanceable display with time and date on a desk or shelf
The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6" LCD showing time, date and a weather trend.
- your home runs on Apple Home with a Thread border router
The Eve Weather joins over Thread and Matter directly, without an extra hub.
- you use Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings alongside Apple Home
The SwitchBot Meter Pro supports all of them once a SwitchBot Hub is added.

What owners say
Owners of both sensors like how quickly readings reach their automations and describe setup as painless in each maker's own app. Eve Weather owners single out the build quality, the pressure reading and the way local, subscription-free data feeds HomeKit automations for HVAC and dehumidifiers. Their complaints are a display that is hard to read in bright or angled light, readings that skew high when mounted in direct sun and battery life that varies a lot between units. SwitchBot Meter Pro owners praise the larger display with time, date and a weather trend, and the pairing with SwitchBot outdoor sensors that turns it into a small indoor and outdoor weather station. They note that Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter need a separate SwitchBot Hub and that battery life is about a year.
