Sonoff TH10/TH16: Temperature And Humidity Monitoring WiFi Smart Switch
Introduction
The Sonoff TH10/TH16 is a smart switch designed for makers and smart home enthusiasts. It allows for remote monitoring and automated control of appliances based on temperature and humidity levels.
Sonoff offers a universal switch solution for smart homes, enabling remote and automatic control of various appliances. Enhancing this capability with the Sonoff SC (Smart Controller) can further optimize smart home functionality. Learn more about the Sonoff SC HERE.
Overview
The Sonoff TH10/TH16 is a wireless temperature and humidity monitoring switch. It enables users to remotely monitor and set temperature and humidity ranges to control connected appliances via the iOS/Android eWeLink app. The device is available in two specifications: 10A and 16A maximum current supply.
It supports presetting temperature or humidity ranges. When environmental conditions fall within these specified ranges, the switch automatically turns connected devices on or off.
The Sonoff TH10/TH16 supports three types of temperature and humidity sensors:
- AM2301
- DS18B20
- DHT11
Note: Sensors are not included with the Sonoff TH10/TH16 and must be ordered separately.
Using the eWeLink app, users can create conditional statements (Smart Scenes) to trigger other smart devices. For example, the Sonoff TH10 or TH16, combined with an AM2301, DS18B20, or DHT11 sensor, can collect temperature/humidity data to act as a condition for controlling other devices like Sonoff, Sonoff RF, Sonoff SV, or S20 smart sockets.
This device is ideal for controlling electric fans, air conditioners, humidifiers, smart fish tanks, watering systems, and more.
Image Description: A visual representation shows the Sonoff TH10/TH16 WiFi Wireless Switch with its features listed: Temperature and Humidity Monitoring, Preset Temperature/Humidity range, up to 8 timing schedules per device, and the ability to share data to ITEAD smart home devices (smart scene). It also displays a smartphone interface showing temperature and humidity readings (14°C, 25°F, 55%) and control options (Auto, Manual).
Sensors
Sonoff offers two types of sensors: AM2301 and DS18B20 (which measures temperature only). The interface for Sonoff TH10/TH16 is customized for easy plug-and-play connection. It is recommended to plug in the sensor before powering up the device and avoid plugging or unplugging it while the device is powered on.
AM2301 Sensor:
Image Description: A close-up of the AM2301 sensor, described as a high-accuracy temperature and humidity sensor. Dimensions are provided in millimeters (e.g., 26.7mm, 13.8mm, 4.1mm). The sensor type is resistive for temperature and capacitive for humidity. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C and humidity range of 0-99.9%RH, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C for temperature and ±3%RH for humidity (at 25°C). It requires a 3.3-5.2V DC power supply (5V recommended) and weighs 14g.
DS18B20 Sensor:
Image Description: A waterproof DS18B20 temperature sensor, featuring a stainless steel probe. It operates with a 3.0-5.5V power supply and measures temperature in the range of -55°C to +125°C.
Note: The AM2301 sensor is not waterproof, while the DS18B20 sensor is waterproof.
