Switchbot Meter Pro with CO2 Monitoring Review
The Switchbot Meter Pro with CO2 Monitoring is a versatile device that reads temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels in your room. It displays this data along with the date, time, and weather on its large LCD screen. Additionally, you can:
- Configure it to show data from another Switchbot meter
- Expose temperature and humidity to Apple Home
- Access up to two years of historic data in the Switchbot app
The question is, at £60, is it worth it?
Design and Display
The Meter Pro has a sleek, minimalist design that blends well with modern interiors. Its 3.5-inch LCD screen provides clear, easy-to-read data. The display can be customized to show the information you find most useful.
Performance and Accuracy
The device performs well in tracking temperature and humidity changes. However, its CO2 monitoring feature isn’t as accurate or responsive as dedicated CO2 sensors. For instance, it didn’t register a noticeable spike when I smoked a cigarette nearby.
Integration with Home Automation Systems
The Meter Pro integrates well with Apple Home, allowing you to automate tasks based on temperature and humidity thresholds. However, its integration with other home automation systems like Google Home or Alexa isn’t as seamless.
Pricing and Availability
Retailing at £60, the Switchbot Meter Pro is available on Amazon (Meter Pro with CO2 Monitoring) and directly from Switchbot (Switchbot Store), where you can save 10% using the code ’10UPC1YC74OTNK’.
Verdict
The Switchbot Meter Pro is a well-designed device with useful features, but its CO2 monitoring leaves something to be desired. If accurate CO2 tracking isn’t crucial for you, the Meter Pro offers good value for money.
