DS18B20 vs BBMagic METEO


DS18B20

is a digital thermometer that communicates over a 1-Wire bus. It requires only one data/power line and ground line in minimal parasite power configuration.
Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on the same 1-Wire bus.

BBMagic METEO

is a wireless, battery powered ultra low power temperature, humidity and light level sensor. It communicates over Bluetooth Low Energy encrypted radio link. Additionally transmitting data has digital signature for authentication.
Each BBMagic METEO has a 48-bit address, which allows multiple sensors to function with one data receiver.
