Key differences between Shelly BLU H&T ZB and YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer

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

Bluetooth (connectivity): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — Yes (Bluetooth 5 (LE) on 2402 to 2480 MHz with under 8 dBm of RF power, the radio a Shelly Bluetooth gateway reads the sensor through.); YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — No.
Other (connectivity): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — No; YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — Yes (LoRa, up to 1/4 mile range (YoLink hub required)).

Specifications to check side by side

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.); YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — No.
Alexa (integrations): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — Shelly gateway required (Reached through the Shelly Smart Control account, which the product page lists alongside Google Home, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings, and which needs a gateway on the network for this sensor: the Shelly BLU Gateway, or any Shelly Plus, Pro, Gen3 or Gen4 device other than a sensor.); YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — 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.); YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — YoLink Local Hub required (The YoLink Local Hub bridges YoLink devices to Matter, which is how they reach the Apple Home app. The older cloud-only YoLink hubs have no Apple Home path.).
Matter (integrations): Shelly BLU H&T ZB — No (The device documentation lists only Bluetooth 5 (LE) and Zigbee 802.15.4 as its radios, with no Matter profile. The FAQ on the product page presents Matter as a Gen3 and Gen4 feature, and this is a BLU battery sensor.); YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer — YoLink Local Hub required.
