Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Enhanced Sonoff TH16 WiFi Smart Switch: Temperature and Humidity Monitor for DIY Smart Home, Alexa Compatible (16A) by Nonito Shin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but could be better

Bought to control something for temperature and time but while the TH16 can do that it can't be programmed to do both at the same time. I had to turn something on at a programmed time and turn it off again at a different time. It will, but also a smart outlet. And also. While it's on, I need it to use the temperature control feature to turn the device on and maintain a constant temperature. So while it can regulate the temperature, it CANNOT do BOTH at the same time, so it's not doing what I need it to do. I need it to turn on at the set time, reach and maintain temperature. , then turns off at the set time. Unfortunately, it seems that you will have to choose one control mode or another. The internal program needs to be updated to allow BOTH to be used at the same time. It's also annoying that toggling between manual and automatic erases any programs you might have entered. Not cool. Close, but no cigar. Another problem is that the spring-loaded weak spring terminals, although rated for 16 (15) amps, don't seem to accept anything larger than 16 gauge wire, which is a bit tight for 16 amps. It is better to use screw connections for this. I broke one of the contact buttons trying to pry it open enough to accept the wire. I don't want the wires to fall out.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic controls
