If you do not already run a Zigbee hub, the SwitchBot Meter Pro is the easier and better equipped temperature and humidity sensor of these two.

Winner
SwitchBot Meter Pro
$19.99
Buy on Amazon USA
It works over Bluetooth straight from a phone, adds Wi-Fi through a SwitchBot Hub, and its 3.6 inch LCD shows the time, the date and a weather trend next to the readings, with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant support. The Sonoff SNZB-02WD is the lower priced option and a pure Zigbee sensor: it needs a Zigbee hub to work at all, but then it plugs into Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, sends temperature and humidity alerts and carries an IP65 rating for damp spots. Choose the SwitchBot Meter Pro for a readable display in a living space, and the Sonoff SNZB-02WD to add a cheap sensor to an existing Zigbee network.

What the differences mean

Radio and what it needs to work

The Sonoff SNZB-02WD is Zigbee only, so it needs a Zigbee hub before it reports anything. The SwitchBot Meter Pro works over Bluetooth on its own and gains Wi-Fi, remote access and Matter through a SwitchBot Hub.

Display

The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6 inch LCD that also shows the time, the date and a weather trend. The Sonoff SNZB-02WD has a 2.2 inch LCD for temperature and humidity, and Sonoff does not document whether it shows the time.

Platforms

The SwitchBot Meter Pro works with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Sonoff SNZB-02WD works with Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and reaches Apple HomeKit and Matter only through a SONOFF hub.

Alerts

The Sonoff SNZB-02WD sends temperature and humidity alerts through its Zigbee hub. The SwitchBot Meter Pro needs a SwitchBot Hub for remote alerts, though it adds a low battery alert of its own.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors are satisfied with setup, but they are setting up different things. SwitchBot Meter Pro owners single out the large display, readable across a room, and pairing it with a SwitchBot outdoor sensor to show indoor and outdoor conditions on one screen; they also use thresholds to switch on a humidifier. Their caveats are that Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter need a SwitchBot Hub, and that the value depends on living in the SwitchBot ecosystem. Sonoff SNZB-02WD owners praise fast, reliable pairing with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT, placing it outdoors or in damp rooms while still reading it on its screen, and strong battery life, while a few find the reporting interval slow and its CR2477-style battery hard to keep spares of.
