It works standalone over Bluetooth with its own LCD screen, and adding a SwitchBot Hub unlocks Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Matter, far beyond what the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer offers even with its own base station. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer answers with a higher owner rating, a longer warranty and more complete alerting, including a low-battery notification the base SwitchBot Meter needs a Hub for. Buyers who want the widest smart home reach and a readable on-device screen should choose the SwitchBot Meter; buyers who want stronger alerting out of the box and a longer warranty should pick the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: the SwitchBot Meter or the X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer?

The SwitchBot Meter wins on price, connectivity, screen and integrations, especially once paired with a SwitchBot Hub. The X-Sense STH0B Smart Thermometer Hygrometer counters with a higher owner rating, a longer warranty and stronger alerting.

What is the biggest difference between these two sensors?

Not for basic Bluetooth readings on the LCD screen. A SwitchBot Hub is needed to unlock Wi-Fi, Matter and temperature or humidity alerts.

No, only a status light. Every reading lives in the X-Sense app, unlike the SwitchBot Meter's built-in LCD.
