“This does what it says on the box. It is easy connect to WiFi or a zigbee hub, which means it can speak, or be controlled by Alexa, Google home, apple. Connecting via eweelink means that you don't have subscribe to home assistant and code what you want to do. You can set up scenes easily on eweelink and with switches I am controlling a 2 zone underfloor heating where I can see what the temperature is without having to press any screens. Depending what you want to do, this is a sensible and cheaper way of controlling things like heating.”
“Adequate but underwhelming. You'll need to accept a +/- 5% relative humidity reading which can't be calibrated on the device and if you're data logging via home assistant, the humidity steps only record a change of 1% and temperature moves in steps of 0.2C.”
Ahoy Jonathan!

“Great device for monitoring room temperature and humidity through Home assistant. Easy to add device through the Zigbee integration in HA.
Great price from Pimeroni.”
“Great little piece of kit, as with all Sonoff Zigbee, easy to install and control from Ewee Link App. Working on how well this will be to be the trigger for a relay to control underfloor heating. Looking at the data and history that can be easily seen on the App, the answer is yes. A cheaper way of controlling the heating. Oh and is easily worked with Alexa.”
“Very happy with these devices they look nice and work well so far. However after setting them up in Home Assistant I was alerted that a firmware update was available. The update failed several times so I tried removing them and setting up again. The firmware prompt then seemed to appear almost immediately so I promptly proceeded with the update. This worked fine each time. It seems that the data logging doesn't work without the firmware update.”
