Its 3 inch LCD shows temperature and humidity without an app, it carries an IP65 rating, and it lists Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, with Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter added by a SwitchBot Hub. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer is the better reviewed of the two and the long-range specialist: it has no screen and cannot work without a YoLink hub, but it sends its own alerts and reaches spots a Bluetooth sensor cannot. Choose the SwitchBot Meter Plus for living spaces you want to read at a glance, and the YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer for freezers, crawlspaces and outbuildings.

What the differences mean

Screen

The SwitchBot Meter Plus has a 3 inch LCD. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer has no display, so the readings live only in the app, which is fine inside a freezer and less so on a nursery shelf.

Does it work without a hub

The SwitchBot Meter Plus works over Bluetooth on its own and needs a SwitchBot Hub only for Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer has no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio of its own and does nothing without a YoLink hub.

Apple Home and Matter

The SwitchBot Meter Plus lists Apple Home directly and reaches Matter through a SwitchBot Hub. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer reaches Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter through the YoLink Local Hub specifically, and its Google Home support is not documented.

Weather rating and battery

The SwitchBot Meter Plus is rated IP65 and runs about a year on two AAA cells. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer has no weather rating and takes an AA battery whose life is not documented, so place it somewhere sheltered.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors say setup is quick and that the readings are dependable, and both groups mention accuracy drifting away from a reference over time in a minority of units. SwitchBot Meter Plus owners single out the large screen and buy several to cover every room, a nursery or a reptile enclosure, while those with a SwitchBot Hub value the history charts and asking a voice assistant for the temperature. YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer owners talk about range above all, a signal that holds through floors and from detached buildings, and they place it in freezers, fridges, greenhouses and beehives, relying on app, email and text alerts with no subscription. Their shared caveat is the hub: YoLink owners point out it is mandatory, SwitchBot owners that Wi-Fi and remote alerts need one.

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.
