Motion and more: Philips Hue 570977 Hue Motion Sensor
The Philips Hue Motion Sensor is our go-to accessory for controlling our lights automatically, and it also just so happens to have a temperature sensor. This sensor works with HomeKit automation, and it can report the status via Siri. Zigbee connectivity to the Philips Hue Bridge makes this sensor rock solid when it comes to reliability.

Cost-effective: Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor, REQUIRES AQARA HUB
Aqara's smart sensor reports temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure — all in a package you can put just about anywhere. Even though the sensor has a low price, keep in mind that you will need to have an Aqara Hub to add it to HomeKit.

If you are in the market for a sensor for your kitchen or bathroom, then Fibaro's Flood Sensor may be your best bet. Place this wireless sensor anywhere, and you will have access to temperature monitoring, and you get an alarm that can notify you of water leaks.

The great outdoors: Eve Weather - Apple HomeKit Smart Home, Connected Outdoor Weather Station for Tracking Temperature
The Eve Weather is similar to our favorite temperature sensor, the Eve Room, but this one is for the outdoors. This sensor displays temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, and you can view a weather trend in the Eve app. It's also wireless with a replaceable battery and utilizes Bluetooth and Thread connectivity.
Stay comfy with the best HomeKit temperature sensors
The best HomeKit temperature sensors leverage the power of Apple's smart home ecosystem to do more than just tell you the current temperature in a room. These sensors can work with other devices, enabling genuinely magical automation potential. For example, you can turn on a ceiling fan when the temperature gets too hot or fire up a space heater when it gets chilly.
In the market for a sensor with a built-in display that doesn't require a hub? Then take a look at the Eve Room with Thread. This sensor monitors temperature and measures VOC levels, air quality, and humidity. If you need a sensor for the outdoors, then the Eve Weather is a great alternative — especially with support for Thread connectivity.
If you already have some Hue gear in your home, then the Philips Hue Motion Sensor may be the one for you. This sensor works with the Hue Bridge, which offers the rock-solid performance and reliability that the system is famous for — and since it detects motion, it opens up a world of automation possibilities.
