Shelly Plus H&T Review: Pros & Cons 

Thanks for your interesting videos . I ordered one and integrate it with Home Assistant via MQTT since the integration still not ready . so far everything is fine , it updates every change of 0.5 C. The battery life so far good and this is my big concern . If the device with new firmware will support BLE mesh , that would be a big plus for Shelly.

I don't have a similar sensor yet but hopefully soon! Thanks for the great video.

Thanks for the great video about the Shelly Plus H&T. I am looking for a way to measure and show humidity and temperature easily in my house and after seing your video I think the Shelly Plus H&T is the thing I been looking for. I have a Shelly Uni before and I think they will complement each other good.

Thanks for the informational video. I could use Shelly device to control my fan, HVAC and blinds.

Keep up the great job feeding us with info of smart devices!

Thank you for your video. It will be great to have this powerful device in my home

Yes I have a cactus lamp converted to a thermometer with an esp8266

Yes I have two Govee sensors and a few of the small sensors you showed in the video. Thanks

Wifi network extender through this device? That’s a nice addition!

Great video, KP! thank you so much for it!

Other reviews said it can't be powered over the cable. I'm glad it's possible so I think I'll buy one.

Yes! I have a esp32 based DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor outside

Awesome as usual! :D Thanks for this review!

I have 2 aotec multi sensors (temp,humidity,illuminance,ultraviolet,motion) which I use with Hubitat for various automations. However they do not have a display. It would be nice to put one of these where my wife could check the temperature and humidity.

Thanks for another great video, no tem/ hum sensors yet looking to do some soon.

Yes! I have ecobee temperature sensors, and I'm very curious about how to use HA to integrate Shelly H&T to augment the Ecobee sensor array.

Haha, I love how you ask a question to make it less awkward. I do not, and I am actually looking into redoing my whole smart house. Another great video

yes, i use the xiaomi sensors connected to my home assistant VM via Bluetooth, but i want something with a bit more range.

Thanks for the nice video! Would be nice to also see temperature from other H&T on the display. For example the outside temperature together with the "local" temperature. Do you think it's possible to program it to work with ESPHome (firmware) instead?

I have several temperature and humidity sensors. Thanks for a good video.

Nice video as always. Yes, Aqara temperature sensor.

I have in almost every room, so another one will be highly needed :)

I've just moved to our new home with my family, and we are starting to build our smart home with home assistant. This sensor would be a nice fit in the living room :)

Yep got a lot of xiaomi, Sonoff, tuya and home built esphome BME280 sensors. That one looks very nice though!

Thanks for the great video about the Shelly Plus H&T. Specially I like the display.

Yes, I have some Ecowitt temperature sensors scattered throughout my home. Don't have a Shelly, so would be a nice addition :)

It is impossible to get the Shelly Plus H&T connected to my Home Assistant system. I've used MQTT now and it is shown the connection in HA, but none og the sensors are visible. The "normal" Shelly H&T worked like a charm.

Good job! Thanks for the video! It would be cool to add teardowns to your reviews for the geeks out there!

yes, I have couple of Xiaomi sensors connected to my home assistant VM via Bluetooth, but I'm looking for one with a big screen.

Yes! I use the built in temperature sensors in my Aqara motion sensors and for sensors. I can also pull temperature readings off my Broadlink universal remotes.

Yes, I have several temperature humidity sensors in my home. Some are stand-alone and some are included in other sensors.

Thanks for your honest review! The sensor look a little bulky - but epaper is great!

Isn't this already possible with mesh network type such as ZigBee? Only end device do not work also as gateways but all the other one are. I'm really debating if WiFi type iot devices are reliable as dedicated mesh one. The goal should be really to have the domotic network running flawlessly whether a internet router is installed or not in a house, or been not impacted by a router replacement /restore config. What are your thoughts?

I have seven temperature/humidity sensors. They are DHT11s and DHT22s connected to esp devices, located in my office, bedroom, bathroom, garage, attic, patio, and filament dry box.

I like the big e-ink display.

Yes I have Sonoff Zigbee Temp and Hum sensors in my home

Thanks for your videos. I’ve found them very helpful. I currently have a couple of Xiaomi Mijia bluetooth thermometers. I also have some air quality sensors that I designed to include AQI, CO2, temp, humidity, and pressure (via BME280 sensors).

I have several temperature and humidity sensors based on the BME280 module and wemos D1 mini. They work flawlessly with HA. I also use a thermometers that are built into the Xiaomi AirPurifier air filters and one Xiaomi Mijia Bluetooth Thermometer 2 which is smaller than the Shelly thermometer and less energy intensive. I'd love to test the thermometer from Shelly so I can compare them.

Thanks for the review ! Except of the temperature sensor included in my motion sensors, I have not specific smart temperature and humidity sensor. But who knows in the future 😉

I have none only the simple once that I cannot integrate into Home Assistant would be cool to have one with Home assistant. love your content good job

I don't have any but currently I'm in a process of renovation of my apartment so I will have a lot of smart devices. Definatelly, H&T gen 2 looks interesting. I almost bought gen1 but I'm glad that I waited. I'm looking to integrate it with a humidifier. I will have wooden floor and the heating under it so I'm looking for something to keep humidity at a constatnt level. Idea is to install the humidifier with a shelly 1 that would allow me to automate so the humidifier would power on when humidity falls under certain level.

I am using some Aqara PHT.

I have several different non-display temperatures and humidity sensors around the house and am planning to replace 4 of them with screen units. The new Shelly looks like a good candidate given its Alexa and home assistant compatibility. Keep up the good work with the videos.

I have multiple ZigBee Smart Temperature Humidity Sensors in the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The videos are very informative. 👍

Yes I have

Hi, I currently have 4 Xiaomi BLE sensor, including one in the fridge (got to make sure the temperature is right) plus some DIY temperature sensors using ESP Home and dallas temperature sensors, two of which I use in my fish tanks (got to keep an eye on those temperatures). Next project will include some BME280 sensors that I recently purchased.

I wanted to see it in action. I do not have one yet. I want to be able to have my GA tell me the inside temp/humidity, and also to use it as a trigger device for other automation.

Ah damn I missed the giveaway. I am looking at these sensors as I have none. Thanks for the laughs 🤣

Yes

Hi, I have coupe of Xiaomi Temperature and Humidity sensors.

Thank you for this good review. I always enjoy your videos about Home Assistant and home automation in general. For now, I have several first-generation Shelly H&T sensors and this new version looks really good. I like the optional USB-C connector for power so that you don't have to buy a separate base for it. I hope I win one. :D

Would fit perfectly in my new upcoming smart living room :)

Yes, Ecobee, and Xiaomi. This one looks interesting!

Hi, following your videos for quite a while now… always informative and entertaining :) Got a few of Temp and Hum sensors. Build myself using BME280 modules, AHT10, DHT22 with 3D printed enclosures. Looking forward for something that looks really good. Keep up with the good work! Best.

Hi Kirill, 1st: this is great news, as I've been waiting for such an Item! 2nd: keep up the good work! Really appreciate your videos... Best regards from a Shelly enthusiast...

Hi Kiril. Thanks again for another great video! I have some sonoffs working via deconz in HA

That Shelly H&T would be great to replace my xiaomi sensor in the living room - the screen size would be a big plus there

Like the funny video. I have 2 Hue motion / temp sensors, which were bought before I was aware of HA. I have 1 sonoff temp sensors. I do like the shelly and its large display.

Yes, I have Xiaomi sensors and DHT22 sensors. I have an old shelly H&T sensor with the odd size battery that is not lasting for long

I don't have a temperature and humidity sensor.

I bought it and found it a bit useless for my use case. It only updates temperature every 5 minutes or every 0.5 degrees C even when powered which makes no sense. Considering my old Xiaomi sensor offers realtime temperature change I found this really poor.

yes, xiaomi one but eager to change them

I'm using some homemade esp32 sensors 😄

I will have exactly 1 once I get the one you send me. Thanks in advanced.

Nope, do not have any of that kind of sensors in my home ....YET but who knows 😉 again cool tutorial 👍

The only smart Temperature sensor is on my thermostat, which is an ecobee

Super add-on to a smart home. I’m using a few Aquara H&T sensors without display. The Shelly H&T sensor is a perfect expansion to extend the WiFi coverage and can be monitored and automated by Home Assistant 💪🏻

Was looking at these and thinking about getting one, was sad to see it not included in Shelly's labor day sale, but hopefully I can win one for free!

Yes, I have a bunch of Aqara H&T&Pressure zigbee sensors. Amazing for Shelly H&T work on 4 AA battery with wifi for a year. For the Aqara sensors I am changing the batteries now after 2 years so very good I think.. To be honest I would not buy a wifi H&T sensor but if I win one for free that would be acceptable LOL

Hi, thank you for your very good content. I have a DIY sensor. Now I hope to win the Shelly sensor.

I also have a home assistant setup and currently trying to figure out how to wire a shelly to a bathroom light and fan, but someone sliced the neutral wire by the switch, so that makes it harder... I'll definitely figure a way to make it work if I win this sensor - then I can turn the fan on based on humidity levels! And no, I don't currently have any smart humidity sensors in my HA setup. Стахотни видеота! Продължавай в същия дух :) Бях си купил едно шели(Plus 1PM) преди да науча че нашенците от Алтерко ги произвеждат :D Сега вече ще взимам още..

No I don’t have any T&H sensor and would very much like to win the one you are giving away also because I am starting with Home Assistant right now :-)

yes I have many

Yes, aqara and sonoff zigbee sensors! Thanks

I had a esp running on esphome until the cat chewed through the wires.

Ciao. L'ho acquistato (io non li ricevo gratis per recensirli, ma) per vedere quali fossero le funzionalità e l'interfaccia con gli altri device Shelly. Sono rimasto deluso perché non ho trovato nulla di particolare che lo differenzi dagli altri H&T, tranne il display e le batterie (che costano meno delle CR123A)..., confermo plastica scadente, anche se ho usato un plettro di chitarra e non un cacciavite o coltello. Ho rilevato anche differenze tra le temperature rilevate da questo ed il precedente H&T, messi uno di fianco all'altro. Boh!, davvero deluso.

No H&T sensors yet. Shelly would be very welcome ;-)

Xiaomi LYWSD02 and HHCCJCY01, SwitchBot T&H, RM4 mini by Broadlink, i don't have a Shelly one, yet :)

Great video, No Temperature & Humidity divice in my house :( but i have a chance now :)

Sonoff TH16

No not yet.

Worst Shelly device I have ever bought. Virtually impossible to connect to my LAN. The cloud simply will not recognise this device. No issues with any of my other Shelly devices

No Shelley devices, this may be the first one.

no

Lousy software so the part is junk. Not even as a gift

@KPeyanski #no I dont have one

Mostly Xiaomi products still.. BLE/Zigbee

Yes

no

Yes
