Key differences between Shelly BLU H&T ZB and SwitchBot Meter Pro
A summary of selected recorded differences between these temperature & humidity sensors. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.
Feature differences among your selected devices
- Screen (display): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — No (This is the display-less model: its only output is a single red LED, and readings are delivered over Bluetooth or Zigbee. The sibling Shelly BLU H&T Display ZB (SBHT-103C) is the e-paper version.); SwitchBot Meter Pro — Yes.
- Apple Home (integrations): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — No (The device documentation lists only Bluetooth 5 LE and Zigbee 802.15.4 with no Matter or HomeKit profile, and the platforms Shelly names for it are Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings.); SwitchBot Meter Pro — Yes.
Specifications to check side by side
- Humidity Alerts (alerts): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — Yes (Shelly documents alerts and notifications when humidity crosses predefined thresholds, used for cases such as stopping mold and mildew in basements and bathrooms.); SwitchBot Meter Pro — SwitchBot Hub required.
- Temperature Alerts (alerts): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — Yes (Shelly documents alerts and notifications when temperature crosses predefined thresholds, used for cases such as preventing frozen pipes in cold weather.); SwitchBot Meter Pro — SwitchBot Hub required.
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — No; SwitchBot Meter Pro — SwitchBot Hub required.
- Zigbee (connectivity): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — Zigbee Hub required (Zigbee end device on 802.15.4, 2405 to 2480 MHz, so it joins an existing Zigbee coordinator rather than hosting a network. Five quick presses of the button start Zigbee pairing.); SwitchBot Meter Pro — No.
