Quick verdict

The SNZB-02P is the screenless sibling of the SNZB-02D already on this site: a Zigbee 3.0 temperature and humidity sensor with a rated accuracy of 0.2 C and 2 percent RH, a CR2477 cell SONOFF says lasts up to four years, and a price that makes one per room reasonable. On Zigbee2MQTT it is a supported device with OTA updates and calibration offsets, and it is fully local. The ZHA story is less clean: a Home Assistant issue describes it reporting once at pairing and then going silent, closed as not planned, with some owners fixed by a device firmware update and others moving to Zigbee2MQTT. I would buy it for a Zigbee2MQTT setup without hesitation and for ZHA with that caveat in mind. I haven't run this one; the notes come from the spec sheet, the Home Assistant integration docs and what other owners report.

Standout: Swiss-made sensing element rated at plus or minus 0.2 C and 2 percent RH, in a sensor that costs about as much as a coin cell and a coffee.

Local control facts

  • Home Assistant: zha integration, Local Polling (home-assistant.io, checked Sep 10, 2026)
  • Zigbee2MQTT: supported device, listed as SONOFF SNZB-02P (Temperature and humidity sensor) (zigbee2mqtt.io, checked Sep 10, 2026)

Why it stands out

  • Zigbee 3.0 with a claimed four-year life on one CR2477 cell
  • rated accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 C and 2 percent RH, better than most sensors at this price
  • supported by Zigbee2MQTT with temperature, humidity and battery exposed, calibration offsets and OTA updates
  • small (45 by 45 by 18 mm) with a magnetic or adhesive mount

Reasons to hesitate

  • a Home Assistant issue for ZHA describes the SNZB-02P reporting once at pairing and then going quiet; it was closed as not planned, and some owners say a device firmware update fixed it, others moved to Zigbee2MQTT
  • no display; the SNZB-02D is the model with an LCD
  • SONOFF's 5-second refresh claim is the eWeLink figure; on ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT the report interval is whatever the reporting configuration asks for
  • CR2477 cells are harder to find locally than CR2032

Best for

  • Zigbee2MQTT users who want a cheap, accurate climate sensor in every room
  • humidity-driven automations such as bathroom fans and dehumidifiers
  • closets, crawlspaces and fridges where a display is pointless

Avoid if

  • you run ZHA and do not want to chase a firmware update or reporting configuration if it goes quiet
  • you have no Zigbee coordinator
  • you want a readout on the device (get the SNZB-02D)

Privacy and local-control notes

A plain Zigbee 3.0 end device. Paired to ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT it never touches SONOFF's eWeLink cloud, and the readings stay in your own Home Assistant history.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: Zigbee2MQTT (supported device page, OTA available) or ZHA (official, Local Polling) through your own Zigbee coordinator; a ZHA issue reports the sensor stopping updates after the first reading.

Buying reality check

Price notes: Budget band; SONOFF's own page did not show me a price on 2026-09-06 and the sibling SNZB-02D with a display sold for about $16 on Amazon in August 2026, so expect this screenless model at or below that. Uses a CR2477 cell, less common in shops than the CR2032.

Each now has compatibility notes with dated sources. I have run none of them, and each page says so.
