Review on 🌑️ Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor: Remote Monitoring, Home Automation & Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer by Darren Boogie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Inexpensive Temperature/Humidity Sensor for SmartThings

Despite unofficial support for SmartThings, you can use it with a custom device handler - search for "bspranger aqara" - As of this review 01/18/2021, I'm currently running v1 .3.1. Although the sensor didn't work well initially, it took a day to consistently measure temperature, humidity, and battery life. The battery was not on the first day, but on the second day after installation. I'll buy another one for upstairs. Recommended if you can work with custom device handlers for SmartThings. *Updated 1/20/2021*: 5 stars, it takes a few hours to permanently check into SmartThings, but once the sensor works, it works fine. I updated the device handler to show humidity first instead of temperature on the main tile, which was my main reason for buying this sensor.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
