ThirdReality temperature and humidity sensor with LCD display

Quick verdict

A solid Zigbee temperature and humidity sensor with a small LCD so you can check readings at a glance, running on AAA batteries instead of coin cells. Accurate enough for HVAC automations, no cloud, no subscription. Just know it is no longer the cheap option - at current prices the SONOFF SNZB-02D undercuts it - so pick it for the batteries and the glanceable display, not the sticker.

Standout: Zigbee temp and humidity sensor with a small LCD, running on easy-to-stock AAA batteries instead of coin cells.

Buying reality check

Price notes: About $25 for the single-pack with LCD (verified 2026-08-28). Not a budget pick at current prices - the SONOFF SNZB-02D with a larger display lists for less. Buy this one for its AAA batteries.

Verified price reads: lowest seen $24.99, latest $24.99 on Sep 6, 2026.
