Which SONOFF Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor Should You Choose?

Which SONOFF Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor Should You Choose?

Introduction

SONOFF’s latest additions, the SNZB-02WD (Temperature & Humidity) and SNZB-02LD (Waterproof Thermometer), extend the capabilities of their Zigbee sensor lineup with IP65-rated durability and specialized probes. While the SNZB-02WD offers combined temp/humidity monitoring in outdoor or humid environments, the SNZB-02LD brings a waterproof probe for liquid or enclosed-space measurements. In contrast, the earlier SNZB-02D provides a large 2.5″ LCD display for indoor comfort monitoring, and the SNZB-02P focuses on long-life, low-power temperature & humidity sensing. Below, we break down their core features, ideal use cases, and present a side-by-side spec comparison of all four models.
