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 specificationsConsider your setup
Compare the stated test conditions. Catalog battery figures alone do not predict runtime in your home.
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 humidity range is set in the app and triggers the same push notification and base station alarm as the temperature range
The app prompts a low battery warning and the indicator light flashes once every 60 seconds
Real-time low battery alerts in the YoLink app
A temperature range is set in the app; crossing it sends a push notification and sounds the base station, which can be muted so only the notification arrives
App, email and text/SMS alerts
Proprietary 868.0-868.6 MHz radio link to the X-Sense SBS50 base station, which is the unit that carries the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection (802.11b/g/n, not compatible with 5 GHz networks) | Range up to 500 m (1,640 ft) between the sensor and the base station in an open environment
LoRa, up to 1/4 mile range (YoLink hub required)
The sensor carries only a red/blue indicator light; every reading is shown in the X-Sense Home Security app
The app keeps 24/7 graphs with maximum, minimum and average readings plus dew point and VPD, and exports up to 180 days per CSV file, with daily, weekly or monthly scheduled exports
The official product page lists Alexa Compatible, with voice queries for the temperature and humidity readings
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.
The X-Sense Home Security custom integration for Home Assistant (HACS) names STH0B among the thermometer/hygrometer models it maps, and reads it from the X-Sense cloud account
The CSA certified-products database lists no X-Sense entry for this model, and the SBS50 base station it reports through is not Matter certified either
