WiFi Weather Stations with Outdoor Sensor Wireless UK, Temperature Humidity Monitor with Date and Weather Forecast, Matter Hub Makes Station Work with Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Home

The SwitchBot Weather Station with Outdoor Sensor consists of 3 items. The latest hub mini, the large screen Meter Pro and an external sensor. I've been using SwitchBot products for several years and this kit is a useful addition. It’s all pretty straightforward to set up. Latest Hub Mini The latest hub is similar to the previous version with the addition of being matter enabled. Note that this version doesn’t have a screen. I believe you need an Apple Home Hub to make the most of this extra matter functionality which I don’t own. Meter Pro This has a large screen version of the previous model with the additional capabilities of showing the current time and date and the temperature and humidity of itself and also an additional device e.g. an external sensor. This is certainly an improvement over the older model. I would have preferred it if the current time and date were larger though. Outdoor Sensor I have 2 of them, one of which I have been using outside to monitor the outside temperature and humidity. It corresponds accurately to the weather forecast except when the meter has the Sun on it which is to be expected. The other one I'm using to monitor the temperature of an underfloor heating pipe which works as expected. I like the fact that it uses 2 x AAA batteries rather than the less common button batteries. It was easy to setup and the graphs present the readings in a useful way. Alexa can report the temperature but not the humidity of my outdoor meters (she just returns the humidity of one of my indoor meters) - I believe this is a bug they are working on. Both are displayed and recorded in the app which is fine for my purposes. I’m happy to recommend the kit.

I’ve only had the SwitchBot Weather Station for a few days, but it’s already made a big difference in our home. The outdoor sensor is brilliant, especially for my wife, who loves being able to check the weather at a glance before heading out. No more guessing if it’s warm enough for a light jacket or if she needs to bundle up—it’s all right there, clear and accurate. It’s also helped me improve the comfort of our home. Within the first day, I realised the living room was drier than I thought, and being able to see the exact humidity levels made it easy to fix. Small changes, like adjusting the heating or opening a window, have made the house feel noticeably better. For my home office, it’s been a game-changer. The display is easy to read, and the app alerts mean I can keep track of the temperature and humidity without constantly checking. It’s great to know when to make small adjustments before the room becomes uncomfortable or distracting. Overall, this weather station has been simple to set up, easy to use, and very reliable. It fits seamlessly into daily life and has proven its value in just a few days. Highly recommended.

The setup between the hub (wifi), app, meter and sensor is very straight forward. Initially the frustrating bit was firmware updates. It would get stuck at 10% when updating the hub. After a bit of research, I made sure that wifi/vpn was not connected on my phone and used cellular (4G). After a reboot of the hub, and another attempt, the firmware installed fine .... also to the meter and sensor. Then the real fight .... adding to Amazon Alexa. Added the hub just fine after installing the SwitchBot skill, and Alexa recognised all 3 devices (hub, meter and sensor). However when attempting to create a routine, none of the devices were showing in the "smart home" section. After several re-links/disabling the skill, and removing the devices and re-adding, still no joy!! I was about to pack it all up and return it. Before I did, I headed back to the SwitchBot app, and dug into settings, and had to add the meter and sensor as "secondary devices"! IIRC, this was achieved by selecting the hub in the main "home" screen of the app, hitting the cog(settings) at the top right > Matter Setup > Secondary Devices .... lo and behold, the meter and sensor were showing as "Available", so I added them. Then in Alexa, the devices now showed up in smart home when creating a routine! This was hard work!! Another thing to note, regardless of what temp sensor you have (SwitchBot/Echo or another), the routines has a bug where very granular conditions need to exist for it to work on temperature triggers, as shown by google searches. Amazon needs to fix this as it is pretty much impossible to create working routines based on temp sensors! Finally, now all setup, the meter displays the indoor/outdoor sensor nicely, and the app is good for monitoring my garden room. It will NOT be going back now :-)

Works really well with indoor and outdoor temperature shown on the unit inside. Small and unobtrusive. Outdoor unit comes with its little shelter and fits anywhere. Also shows humidity.

Clean clear display. Hooked up to my existing hub & outdoor meter easily enough.

Brilliant bit of kit. The 5 star reviews cover it, but I would only add the highest recommendation for the equipment. Well worth the money and literally does everything it says on the box. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed

Really impressed with this little weather station. Set-up was straightforward and everything connected to Wi-Fi and the app first time with no fuss. The readings for temperature and humidity seem very accurate, both indoors and outdoors, and update quickly. I like being able to check the conditions from my phone when I’m away from home, and the graphs in the app make it easy to see how things change through the day. The display is clear to read at a glance and the outdoor sensor feels sturdy enough for the British weather. Overall, great value for money and I’d happily recommend it.

Its not a weather station. It does give accurate temperature and humidity readings. It was easy to set up but I do keep loosing the connection with the sensor at the far end of the bungalow, (most wifi or bluetooth devices struggle because of poor signal due to the high iron content in the bricks). The sensor has a rubber seal on the battery compartment to prevent moisture getting in. It seams reasonable quality for the price. I have given it three stars because as a weather station it is useless only measuring temperature and humidity and can't give a forecast. As a smart thermometer I would give it 5 stars.

Nous avons choisi ce kit de démarrage car il contient l'essentiel pour connaître la température intérieure et extérieure de son domicile à distance via une connexion wifi, et cela pour un prix raisonnable. La connexion entre les différents capteurs et afficheurs est en Bluetooth à faible consommation d'énergie "BLE". Le paramétrage est très simple et il est possible d'accéder aux données depuis plusieurs téléphones ou tablettes. Le hub est rattaché à tous les périphériques via le Bluetooth. Seul le hub est connecté au wifi et permet de sauvegarder les données dans le cloud et de donner accès en temps réel à distance. Nous sommes pleinement satisfaits de l'écho système switchbot.

I have had this kit for a bit more than a month now and everything is working as it should. Setup was easy using the app and I love the temperature widgets you can have on your phone making it quick to see the temperature whenever you like at a glance. The routine/automation capabilities will be great to notify me if the temperatures go outside of my programmed range. Being this kit has the hub included means I will be good for any other sensors or devices I want to get from Switchbot in the future.

Ho già avuto stazioni meteo in passato ed i problemi principali sono sempre stati l'invadenza estetica dell'oggetto, spesso poco adatta agli inserimenti nell'arredo esistente ed il cavo di alimentazione, che costringe ad installazioni improbabili. In questo caso entrambi gli aspetti risolti in maniera egregia: la stazione meteo principale e' decisamente poco ingombrante, dalle linee sobrie e pulite da potersi adattare ad ogni tipo di arredo. La si puo' persino appendere a muro, volendo, con la relativa predisposizione.. o tenere appoggiata su una superficie, sia in verticale, che inclinata, col supporto a scomparsa presente nella parte posteriore. Tenuta per qualche settimana in fianco ad un'altra stazione meteo esistente da tempo, ha sempre rilevato dati perfettamente allineati, il che mi fa sentire tranquillo sulla validità dei dati esposti. Gli accessori del kit poi (un sensore da esterni ed un hub) si sono rivelati persino ben oltre le aspettative: il sensore da esterni e' decisamente piccolo (ho messo l'Euro nella foto per valutarne le dimensioni effettive !), facilmente occultabile quasi ovunque, da appendere o da fissare a parete con gli accessori inclusi (laccetto e biadesivo), mentre l'hub stupisce piacevolmente con una funzione che non risulta indicata da nessuna parte, se non nel manuale e nella confezione (nell'inserzione ho ricontrollato, ma non c'e' al momento alcuna indicazione in tal senso !): e' anche un comodo ripetitore di comandi IR (infrarossi), con capacità di apprendere i comandi di condizionatori, televisori o altre utenze comandate da telecomando IR. TOP !!! Con la funzionalità Bluetooth, il processo di attivazione/abbinamento e' un gioco da ragazzi e sarete operativi in men che non si dica ! Non entro nel merito di tutti gli automatismi che e' possibile creare con sistemi centrali di domotica o combinazioni di app, perché me ne perderei sicuramente piu' di qualcuno, ma qui il limite e' solamente nelle idee che vi possono venire. Concludo confermando che l'azienda e' molto attenta alle indicazioni degli utenti e la richiesta di modifica del formato della data segnalata in una recensione di qualche mese fa e' già stata inserita ed ora e' possibile settare la data secondo il formato europeo ! ;-) Non per niente, malgrado il prodotto sia relativamente nuovo, appena abbinato riceverete la richiesta di aggiornare il firmware, operazione altrettanto semplice come l'attivazione. Ottimo acquisto ed anche ottima idea per i regali (mi spiace che sia appena trascorso il periodo natalizio, ma ci sono molte altre occasioni !).

SwitchBot did it again! The new Meter Pro with Matter hub mini is awesome. It syncs very well with Apple HomeKit (of course, it works with non-Matter services too). The nice big screen is a plus. I love how it has an outdoor sensor as well, so you can see inside temperature and humidity levels as well as the outside temperature and humidity. The outdoor sensor can be placed anywhere. There is also an included strap that allows it to be hung on a hook. The Meter Pro has a built-in adjustable stand as well. I have not had any connectivity issues since installing either. I highly recommend SwitchBot products. I was not paid and did not receive this product for this review. I bought this on my own to go with my SwitchBot ecosystem. I previously had the regular hub mini, so this was also an upgrade.
