3. Installation Guide
The THS01 sensor is designed for easy plug-and-play installation with compatible SONOFF TH Elite/Origin devices. Follow these steps to connect your sensor:
- Ensure your SONOFF TH Elite/Origin device is powered off before connecting the sensor.
- Locate the RJ9 4P4C sensor interface on your TH Elite/Origin device.
- Insert the RJ9 4P4C connector of the THS01 sensor firmly into the sensor interface. The RJ9 4P4C connector supports hot-plugging, but it is recommended to power off the main device for safety during initial connection.
- Once connected, power on your TH Elite/Origin device. The sensor will be automatically detected.
- For extended reach, you can use the SONOFF RL560 sensor extension cable (sold separately).

4. Operating Instructions
Once connected to a SONOFF TH Elite/Origin device, the THS01 sensor enables various smart monitoring and control functionalities through the eWeLink App and the device's LCD display.
4.1 Real-time Monitoring
The TH Elite/Origin device, with the THS01 sensor connected, provides real-time temperature and humidity readings on its integrated LCD screen. These readings are refreshed every 5 seconds. You can also view real-time data and historical trends via the eWeLink App on your smartphone or tablet.

4.2 Local Auto Mode
The TH Elite/Origin supports a "Local Auto Mode" which allows the device to automatically turn on/off connected appliances based on predefined temperature and humidity thresholds. This functionality operates even if your Wi-Fi connection is temporarily unavailable.
- Set specific temperature or humidity ranges for automatic control.
- Define effective time periods for these automation rules.

6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your SONOFF THS01 sensor, please follow these care and maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the sensor body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
- Environment: Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme physical shock, vibrations, or direct water immersion (unless specifically designed for it, which THS01 is not).
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the sensor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Handling: Handle the RJ9 4P4C connector with care to prevent bending or damaging the pins.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SONOFF THS01 sensor, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No temperature/humidity reading on display or App. | Sensor not properly connected; Host device (TH Elite/Origin) not powered on; Sensor malfunction. | Ensure the RJ9 4P4C connector is fully inserted. Verify the TH Elite/Origin device is powered. Try reconnecting the sensor. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Sensor placed in an unsuitable environment (e.g., direct sunlight, near heat source/vent); Sensor dirty. | Relocate the sensor to a more representative area. Clean the sensor gently with a dry cloth. Allow time for readings to stabilize. |
| Sensor not detected after connecting. | Firmware of TH Elite/Origin is outdated; Faulty sensor or port. | Check for firmware updates for your TH Elite/Origin device in the eWeLink App. Try connecting the sensor to a different compatible device if available, or try a different sensor if possible. |
