The Sonoff US T1 and the Sonoff Touch have a lot of
similarities in aesthetics and design but there are a couple of notable differences in its functionalities,
physical layout and the price.
The Sonoff US T1 is both RF and Wifi enabled while the
Sonoff Touch only has a Wifi functionality.To use the RF functionality, a
Sonoff 433Mhz programmable remote is required that can provide an additional
comfort and dual control through both your phone and the remote. However, both switches can be controlled through LAN during
an event where the internet is unstable by just switching to LAN mode.
The Sonoff US T1 design is vertically aligned while the US
Touch has a horizontal placement. If you can see in the figure, the T1 model's Sonoff and the wifi logo display are both
upright when the US T1 switch is placed vertically. As for the US Touch, the upright position of the Sonoff and the wifi logo is upright when
it is placed in the wall horizontally. As for which one is better is just a matter of personal preference since both can be installed
with the current utility box commonly available in the Philippines.
You're probably not decided yet on which one to buy, right? This 3rd factor
might help you. The price disparity between the Sonoff T1 and the Sonoff Touch
is significant. The retail price of the Sonoff Touch is cheaper buy 40
percent compared to the Sonoff T1. However, our latest research observation
indicated that Sonoff is increasing its Sonoff Touch price and we also don't know
until when will this huge price difference remain the same.
So which one do we recommend to purchase? Although the Sonoff T1 has the RF
remote control functionality, which is very applicable in the Philippines
because of its unstable internet services, switching to LAN mode would
still allow you to control your light switches through your phone. Having the
433 Mhz remote is a plus but it also entails an additional cost, a minus in
your budget. By purchasing the Sonoff Touch, you can almost buy 2
devices for the price of a single Sonoff T1 switch.
