Shelly H&T Gen3 White | Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Smart Temperature & Humidity Sensor with Remote App Control | Smart Scenes | LCD Display

I am a software developer. I spent a lot of time reviewing different devices, interfaces and their specifications. I wrote software to manage this device, including RPC, Bluetooth and MQTT. I am also very experienced in the dynamics of environmental monitoring for residential and commercial buildings. In my opinion this is an excellent humidity and temperature monitor at a low cost for home automation. The interfaces are well documented, easy to work with and there are numerous open-source implementations and libraries available. If you are a non-developer or a home automation user, this device will monitor humidity and temperature and perform well. I have read comments regarding long times to report changes. Temperature and humidity do not change rapidly in normal residential or commercial environments. If you require fast change detection, you are designing for a problem this device is not intended for. This device reports on wakeup every six minutes. The reason is to save battery life. That is sufficient in normal environments. If you require fast response times, select a different type of device that is plugged into a power source and reports continuously. The device will need to support rapid temperature and humidity changes and those types of instruments are much more expensive. The big issue is accuracy when detecting changes. It does no good to use a cheap device that reports every 5 seconds if the changes are only +-20% accurate. Accuracy requires either time or money.

The e-ink display on this thing is great. If your primary use case is to have a thermometer/hygrometer/clock to look at, then this device is a great pickup. If you also want to have some historical data for a device like this, you will get it here. It can use the app itself, the “Shelly cloud” or easily connect to Home Assistant (though it does require a small manual step of telling it to push its data to HA”. Soon, this is supposedly supposed to get Matter support as well. Finally, I believe this device makes too strong of a compromise to save battery power. The device will push data at a maximum rate of every 5 minutes, but only if the temperature or humidity change by some threshold. If the temp/humidity does not change by enough, then it just will not push updates. The thresholds are 1 deg F and 2% RH. If you are wanting to use this to drive an adhoc thermostat, it is just not great unless your acceptable hysteresis is like 3-5 deg F. This device could easily become a 5+ star device if the update rate was configurable down to 10-30 seconds range. It will also be a great sign if this device does in fact get the Matter upgrade that is being teased/promised at this time. Update: I’m now using this device in a thermostat automation and it works great. I prefer devices with a zigbee or thread radio, but this thing is rock solid and works well with my rechargeable NiMH AA batteries.

Pretty accurate hygrometer with great e-paper (e-ink?) display. Display is large enough to read everything clearly without my glasses and set up was fairly easy. Bought this unit because of the flexibility to take batteries for power or use USB cable to power the unit as we didn’t want to replace or recharge batteries frequently, in addition to good display. Knocked off 1 star because USB cable needs to be removed every time the back cover needs to be removed to sync. Sync/reset button is under the battery cover, and the cover cannot be removed without unplugging USB cable. (Only required during initial setup) Shouldn’t be a problem for those who choose batteries. Specifically bought this unit to hook it up with Home Assistant with Shelly plugin and it did not disappoint. Picked it up fine and reading well over WiFi. The price of this unit is about the same as other WiFi Hygrometers on the market, but can be expensive if we wanted this throughout the house. But for the reliability so far of Shelly products, we’d definitely consider this unit again.

I had great hope for this device. On paper it looked perfect for my use case and I purchased six units. I returned all six after two units failed to operate on battery and a third was intermittent on battery. I did not have time to debug the problem. With that said, registering the device is not clean and simple, and I was able to mess it up, but once configured one unit seemed to work well. Note, to conserve battery power, these devices report temp and humidity once, then power down WiFi and wait for the temp or humidity to change before powering up WiFi and reporting the new values. So if temp or humidity change a lot, then battery life will be shorter. The ePaper display is a great idea if you need to directly see the measured temp and humidity vs checking the app. The app allows you to bias the measured temp and humidity readings, so you can sync the units to one another or another thermostat. This is a useful feature to compensate for normal variations between devices. Again, the device looked good on paper, but the battery issue was killer for me.

Top quality product from a top quality company. It works perfectly, the values are quite precise, battery life is acceptable.

This is part of a range of devices that Shelly sell to control items around the home, as such to get the most out of it you do have to carry out some work yourself. That said, this is a very easy device to set up: insert the batteries, use a mobile phone to connect to the device, set up the wifi and away you go. The display is very clear and easy to read and the device feels good quality. It comes with a simple stand and can also be wall mounted or stuck onto a wall with the supplied pads. You can connect it to other systems and then use the readings to control other devices. Many people seem to connect it to home assistant but it can also connect to other systems with some work. I connect it to a MQTT broker and then use that to connect to Apple home where it displays the temperature and humidity. The device only connects to the Wifi system for a few seconds to update it's values and then goes back to sleep, however as the display is an e-paper display this stays on. The device updates it readings every so often (I think it states every two hours if nothings changes), or whenever they change by a certain amount, thus conserving battery life. Consequently it can be a few tenths of a degree out before it updates. It can also be triggered by a change in humidity which it also displays. I like these devices, they seem to be the best from Shelly and I intend to get several more. Note the Shelly web site states these will be upgraded to matter in the future, and when this happens you should be able to connect to a wider range of systems directly.
