It works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and reaches Wi-Fi and Matter once a SwitchBot Hub is added.

What the differences mean

Smart home reach

The SwitchBot Meter Plus works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and with Matter through a SwitchBot Hub. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 works with Home Assistant over Bluetooth and nothing else, so it cannot answer a voice question or trigger an Apple Home automation.

Alerts without a hub

The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 pushes temperature and humidity alerts through its app over Bluetooth on its own. On the SwitchBot Meter Plus those alerts need a SwitchBot Hub, which is also what gives it Wi-Fi and remote access.

Damp and outdoor spots

Neither the SwitchBot Meter Plus nor the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 carries a water rating, so both are meant for dry indoor rooms rather than a splash-prone bathroom or a greenhouse.

Size

The SwitchBot Meter Plus is 79 x 64.5 x 21.6 mm and 64 g, the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 96 x 72 x 33 mm and 108 g. Both screens are about 3 inches, so the Govee is simply the chunkier block on a shelf.

What owners say

Owners of both sensors lead with accuracy, describing several units side by side reading almost exactly the same, and both groups praise a screen that is easy to read and a setup that takes minutes. GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 owners single out the data logging, with graphs, dew point and exportable history they have used in disputes with landlords, and push alerts on thresholds, while their main surprise is that it is Bluetooth only, so live readings need the phone nearby. SwitchBot Meter Plus owners talk about voice queries and remote monitoring once a SwitchBot hub is added, and a minority report the app offset drifting over months, early quality-control issues and a battery rated for about a year.

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.
