SwitchBot Matter Thermometer Hygrometer 4 Pack with Matter Hub, WiFi&Bluetooth IP65 Indoor Outdoor Thermometer Wireless, Humidity Sensor with Smart Alerts, Works with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home

I have tried a few Bluetooth weather devices, and this Switchbot is the cheapest and best. Physically, its advantages over similar devices are that it uses standard batteries (2xAAA, supplied) rather than a semi-random button battery, and that it is visibly waterproof - it is a smooth white plastic box and the battery compartment lid has a seal round it. Also, the nylon hanging loop is as new after 18 months outside and is better than a hole in the back meant to go over a hook or a nail. I was surprised, for such a cheap device, to find that it supports firmware updates, as there was a notification in the app on the first Bluetooth LE connection. It updated in a couple of minutes from v0.4 to v0.5 - an odd version number for a released product - and, as is almost always the case now, there was nothing stating what the update fixed or improved. But the facility is important. In fact, there were four firmware updates in the first three months and it is now at v0.9. The app is also updated every few weeks, and there is the option to try out beta versions. The Bluetooth signal is evidently good, and not entirely line of sight - I can transfer data into the app from a room about 60 feet away with the device slightly hidden round a corner of the house. Caching is well implemented and only new readings are transferred unless you explicitly clear the cache from within the app; this greatly speeds up everything as the device quickly accumulates thousands of readings. When I got a new phone it took 20 minutes to transfer all the readings. Its accuracy is better than that of my old Bresser weather station, which cost several times as much but badly underestimated temperatures. Apparently it uses the same chipset as my now defunct LIORQUE weather station (also reviewed) and the values it returns are generally almost identical. Another Switchbot advantage, although it gets oddly low ratings in Google Play, is the app. It looks good unlike many similar apps, is simple to set up and use, and data export is easy - select a date range and readings are exported to a comma separated values file in a defined time step. Exporting a reading every minute gives a huge 1.7MB/month file, but exporting a reading every half hour amounts to 50KB/month. I can produce graphs very easily from the exported file - the large graph follows an import into Excel 2024 with no further changes (!) and the other two graphs show what Switchbot can display using its own facilities. ChatGPT can run riot with the exported files. The battery level remained at 100% for a long time and is 67% after 15 months so, if the app is reporting the level accurately, the batteries will probably last for about the two years advertised. The Switchbot is an excellent data gatherer. If it could record barometric pressure as well as temperature and humidity, it would replace everything weather-related here. I use a second (ancient) Android phone to provide a semi-permanent display. A minor issue is that the instructions state that the temperature sensor is good to -20C, but the device is recommended only to be used at 5C or greater. It has been down to -6C, with whole days below 5C, and I have noted two missed readings in four months, which were both when the temperature was well above 0C. Most impressive was that I discovered a bug when exporting. I raised a ticket in the app; there was a comment back about three days later that it was being "escalated to senior technical staff", then after six days there was a fix available in Google Play! That speed of response is otherwise unheard of in my experience, where technical comments are often not even acknowledged. Having had two other weather stations fail during the bad weather (huge temperature and humidity fluctuations) in January 2026, I am going to extend my Switchbot "estate" as the good build quality mentioned in the second paragraph matters ... a lot. It was the only survivor. £15 (£11 with a coupon) is an absolute steal for something which would have cost many times that a few years ago for the same functionality and would certainly have been less robust.

What I was looking for was a wireless temperature data logger to capture the temperature in my house in the Hall and also the corresponding temperature outside with a reasonably high sample rate 24x7. This was so that I could see the rate of heat loss from the house when the space heating is off and also the effectiveness of the space heating when on. I bought 2 of these sensors and placed one indoors adjacent to the Hall thermostat and another outside on the roof fascia board. They come with batteries fitted that are said the last for up to 2 yr and are waterproof for use internally or externally. The devices use bluetooth to transmit data from the sensor to a Switchbot phone app. The phone app is easy to download from Google Play or Apple Store and shows instantaneous temperature and relative humidity, and dew point as well as continuous time history plots of temperature versus time with a sample rate of about 15 minutes. The sensors come with clear instructions and are every easy to pair with the app via bluetooth and initially the use may find that the temperature and humidity readings appear high but the device has a self calibration mode on start-up and soon moderates to an accurate reading. In my case, the temperature took less than half an hour to coincide with the reading on my Hall thermostat. From there on the readings have been very reliable and the temperature time histories show the rise when the space heating comes on according to the time clock and Hall thermostat controls and the rate of decline when it goes off. The app also gives max and min temperature over the selected time period of day/week/month/year and the average. Recordings continue until you choose to reset the sensor in the app effectively to start afresh. You can also download the data for your own records. Correspondingly, the sensor/app records and displays relative humidity as a time series etc all exactly as for temperature. In summary, this is an excellent wireless sensor that does exactly what I was looking for. Anyone who wishes to data capture temperature and/or relative humidity 24x7 and view the time histories of these parameters graphically on a phone or tablet with the data transmitted from the sensor to the phone/tablet wirelessly over bluetooth should look at this device. They are good value for money.

For me, this is a 5* product. I’ll get into why after I explain the 4*. One of the indoor / outdoor sensors in my pack of three unfortunately failed its firmware update out of the box and became bricked. Thankfully, support have been amazing and sending me a replacement. The process was little hassle. That being said, I feel out of principle I cannot give a 5* right now. The product itself is brilliant. Compact (actually smaller than I was expecting), which makes it unobtrusive and good to put in tighter spots or even inside things (a terrarium for example). Connectivity is excellent. No hub or even an app are needed for this, you can hook it straight into home assistant over bluetooth. However, the switchbot app is great and has a lot of useful functionality. One of my favourite things about this is that you can just use it or take it with you anywhere and check temp and humidity on your phone. I’m a bit of a data nerd so i’ve taken it to all sorts of different places in the short time i’ve had it. Accuracy is hard to gauge without a benchmark I know is 100%, which i don’t have. But I believe they are very accurate, and did my research before hand to make sure they would be. Having a number of these sensors, they seem to agree strongly with one another. Which is reassuring. The one thing I will mention, is that their time to adapt to a drastic change in temperature +-20 celsius is quite long. Perhaps 20 mins or maybe a bit more. This is no issue, as the accuracy is stellar. But for some others this may be a concern. Overall, i’d highly recommend these.

Allt verkar smidigt och fungerar som det ska!

Używam czujników od dwóch lat i mogę jasno stwierdzić, że to świetne gadżety, działają bezproblemowo i do tej pory nie wymieniłem baterii ani razu. Leżą na zewnątrz i wewnątrz lodówki, zapewniając mi stały, wyraźny obraz temperatury i poziomu wilgotności. Pomiar jest precyzyjny i niezawodny. Polecam te produkty.

Returned. Bluetooth range not working for greenhouse location.

De thermometers zijn mooi afgewerkt en niet groot. Het batterijdeksel is afgewerkt met een rubber dichting. Werkt op 1 AAA batterij (meegeleverd). De app is handig en een mooi overzicht van meerdere weken. Verbinding is via bluetooth rechtstreeks in de app of via een Relais (apart aan te kopen) via wifi. Ik kocht een 3 pack zonder display en ben er heel tevreden over.
