These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Consider your setup
Confirm which features appear in Apple Home and whether extra hardware or a subscription is needed for your intended use.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Confirm the exact device type and the features exposed in your chosen platform. Protocol support does not establish feature parity across apps.
Inspect the specificationsYour priorities, side by side
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.

A custom comfort range, one of six presets or edited by hand, pushes a phone notification when the reading leaves the band.
Zigbee 3.0 (IEEE 802.15.4) end device. SONOFF lists the ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, Bridge-M, NSPanel Pro and iHost as its own gateways, plus the Aeotec SmartThings Hub V3 and the Zigbee Echo models. Time, date and weather on the screen need a gateway or Home Assistant.
The screen displays the date once the device is connected to a gateway or Home Assistant.
2.9 inch flexible dot-matrix E-Ink panel with a nearly 180 degree viewing angle, readable in bright light. Without a gateway it shows temperature and humidity plus the past 6 hours on a button press.
The screen measures 2.9 inches.

The screen displays the current time once the device is connected to a gateway or Home Assistant.
A single button on the back handles the 6-hour history recall, the temperature unit switch and pairing.
Once paired to a SONOFF Zigbee gateway or Home Assistant, the screen shows a weather icon and weather information alongside the reading.
Smart scenes trigger above or below a temperature or humidity threshold, or when the device goes offline, with a false alarm delay. The sensor is a trigger only, never an action.
Six hours of temperature and humidity history on the screen without a gateway, and up to six months of temperature, humidity, dew point and VPD curves in the app or Home Assistant, with CSV export.
Bluetooth-only hygrometer read by the Govee app on the phone, with nothing published to the cloud for Alexa to read
SONOFF lists Alexa temperature and humidity queries, and an Echo with a built-in Zigbee hub (Echo Plus 2nd, Echo 4th, Echo Show 2nd) as a compatible gateway.
The device is Zigbee, not HomeKit. SONOFF republishes it into the Apple Home app through its own Matter bridges (Bridge-M, ZBBridge-U, iHost, eWeLink CUBE).
SONOFF lists a Google Home temperature and humidity voice query, reached through the eWeLink cloud-to-cloud link.
Zigbee2MQTT works out of the box, while ZHA needs the script SONOFF publishes in its help center for the advanced functions such as the remote sensor display and the weather data.
Not a Matter device itself: SONOFF bridges it into Matter through the Bridge-M, ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE.
SONOFF lists the Aeotec SmartThings Hub V3 as a compatible Zigbee gateway, with a SmartThings temperature and humidity query.
The sensor measures relative humidity.
Sonoff SNZB-02UL AirGuard E-Ink TH manufacturer product page →Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Accuracy of plus or minus 2% RH, refreshed every 5 seconds, with dew point and VPD calculated from the temperature and humidity readings.
The sensor measures air temperature.
Sonoff SNZB-02UL AirGuard E-Ink TH manufacturer product page →Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Swiss Sensirion sensor, accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 C (plus or minus 0.4 F), refreshed every 5 seconds. Screen and app resolve to 0.1 C.
