The reason to own one is not to read the temperature -- your phone will tell you that.
Full details →Who the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a Thread border router already in the house -- most recent Apple, Amazon and Google hub devices are one.
Avoid it if: Anyone without a Thread border router. Thread is a mesh with no route to your phone otherwise.
Who the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor T1 is for
Buy it if: Anyone already running a Zigbee hub who wants humidity or temperature to drive automations.
Avoid it if: Anyone without a hub, and anyone who only wants to see a number rather than act on it.
