GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 vs X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer

They solve different problems. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer wins on price, warranty, reach and integrations, but only if you have its SBS50 base station. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 is the better standalone pick because it has its own screen and needs no base station, at the cost of Bluetooth-only range.

The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer is a screenless probe that needs an X-Sense base station, and the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 is a self-contained unit with a 3.1 inch display that pairs to a phone over Bluetooth. One trades a screen for long-range reach through a hub, the other trades reach for a readout you can see.

No. It has no Wi-Fi of its own and reports over a proprietary 868 MHz radio, so an X-Sense SBS50 base station is required to receive the readings and pass them to the app. On its own the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer cannot report anything.

No. Its body carries only a red and blue indicator light, so temperature, humidity, dew point and VPD are all read in the X-Sense Home Security app. If you want a number on the device, the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 has a 3.1 inch LCD.

It is Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Thread, and works with the Govee app and Home Assistant over Govee BLE. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and shows current and min/max temperature and humidity on its LCD.

Buy the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer for an existing X-Sense base station, a distant room or Alexa queries. Buy the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 for a standalone Bluetooth sensor with a screen for immediate, on-the-spot readings.
