What the differences mean

Screen

The SwitchBot Meter Plus has a 3 inch LCD you can read across a room. The X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer has none, so every reading comes from the app.

Remote alerts

The X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer sends temperature, humidity and low-battery alerts through its base station. The SwitchBot Meter Plus talks Bluetooth on its own and needs a SwitchBot Hub for Wi-Fi and remote temperature and humidity alerts, so budget for one if you want to be warned away from home.

Smart home platforms

The SwitchBot Meter Plus lists Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, with Matter through the hub, and runs automations. The X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer works with Alexa and Home Assistant only and has no automations.

Warranty

The X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer carries a 5-year warranty, the SwitchBot Meter Plus a 1-year one.

Weather resistance

Neither the SwitchBot Meter Plus nor the X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer carries a weather resistance rating, so a bathroom, a porch or a greenhouse is outside what either is made for.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors praise accuracy checked against other thermometers and a setup that takes minutes. SwitchBot Meter Plus owners add the big, clear screen and tend to buy several, placing them in nurseries, reptile enclosures and damp rooms, and those who added a SwitchBot Hub value the history charts and asking Alexa or Google for the temperature; their complaints are an offset that drifts after months and the odd faulty unit. X-Sense Smart WiFi Indoor Thermometer owners use theirs to watch cabins, barns and relatives' homes, praising a base station that reaches through several walls and shares its app with X-Sense alarms; they mention an app that is occasionally buggy and humidity shown in coarser steps than temperature.

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.
