GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 vs SwitchBot Meter Pro

Full Smart Temperature/Humidity Sensors comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official Govee and SwitchBot sites.
2026 verdict
A hygrometer on the wall is more useful when it also tells the time and the weather, and that is why the SwitchBot Meter Pro beats the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 as a room sensor.

Its 3.6 inch LCD adds the time, the date and a weather forecast to temperature and humidity, and it works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, with Wi-Fi and Matter once a SwitchBot Hub is added. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 is the lower priced sensor, carries an 18 month warranty against 1 year, and pushes temperature and humidity alerts over Bluetooth with no hub, where the Meter Pro needs a hub for those alerts. The GoveeLife runs on 2x AAA cells and the Meter Pro on 2x AA, and both keep a history in the app. Choose the SwitchBot Meter Pro for a living room display and a connected home, and the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 for cheap, hub-free logging in many rooms.

What the differences mean

What the screen shows

The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6 inch LCD that adds the time, the date and a weather forecast, so it doubles as a desk clock. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 has a 3.1 inch LCD with temperature, humidity and min and max values, and nothing else.

Voice assistants and Apple Home

The SwitchBot Meter Pro works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, and with Matter through a SwitchBot Hub. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 works only with Home Assistant, so no voice assistant can read it.

Alerts

The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 sends temperature and humidity alerts through its app over Bluetooth without a hub. On the SwitchBot Meter Pro those alerts need a SwitchBot Hub, although its low battery alert does not.

Water resistance

Neither the SwitchBot Meter Pro nor the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 carries a water rating, so a splash-prone bathroom or a greenhouse is outside what either is made for.

What owners say

Owners of both sensors praise a setup that takes minutes and alerts they actually use to catch a room going out of range. GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 owners single out accuracy that matches unit to unit, exportable graphs with dew point and VPD, and buying one for every room, while their surprise is that it is Bluetooth only, so live readings need the phone nearby. SwitchBot Meter Pro owners talk about the big screen, readable from across a room, and pairing it with a SwitchBot outdoor sensor to see inside and outside at once, plus automations that drive a humidifier. Their caveats are that Wi-Fi and remote alerts need a SwitchBot hub, a battery rated for about a year and a premium price for anyone outside the SwitchBot range.
