Data Storage
The SwitchBot Meter and Meter Pro CO2 Monitor store the most recent 36 days (Meter Plus, Outdoor Meter and Meter Pro can store 68 days) of temperature and humidity data on the device itself. Since data is transferred via Bluetooth, if the data hasn’t been read for a while, it might take a moment to display the complete graph when you access the history in the app. We appreciate your patience in this case.
Note: As long as the SwitchBot App isn’t uninstalled, temperature and humidity data will be stored indefinitely as cache. You can also export this recorded data anytime.
If you use the Meter with one of our hubs, up to two years of temperature and humidity data can be stored in the cloud. You can also export saved data as needed.
When paired with a hub, data transfers happen over Wi-Fi, allowing for faster data reading.
Data Synchronization
There are two ways to synchronize the data from the SwitchBot Meter.
If using the Meter alone:
As long as you are within Bluetooth range, simply tap the Meter in the SwitchBot App, and the data will automatically download from the device.
When paired with a hub:
Tapping the Meter in the SwitchBot App will sync data from the SwitchBot server. To sync data, the following conditions must be met:
- The hub is added to the same account as the Meter.
- The hub is connected to the internet.
- The Meter is within the hub’s Bluetooth range.
Data Deletion
When connected to a hub:
To delete all saved data from the app and the server, go to the SwitchBot App → Meter → Delete Data.
When using the Meter alone:
Tapping the "Delete Data" button will remove the data from the Meter and clear the cache on your phone.
By pressing the button on the Meter for 15 seconds, the device will be reset, and its data will be deleted. However, the cached data on your phone will remain.
Note: Before performing any of the actions above, we recommend tapping the "Export Data" button at the bottom of the Meter’s data screen to back up your data.

If I understand correctly, all I need is a Hub along with meter and data will be synced continuously but my meter is updating data after every ~30 min. 30 min is along time and by the time the temperature is accessible through api, it is too low or high. I am trying to maintain a certain temperature in the room and control cooling fan accordingly but it is useless so far as it gets too cold or too high by the time new temperature reading is available.
