Key differences between Sonoff SNZB-02B AirGuard TH Lite and Sonoff SNZB-02UL AirGuard E-Ink TH

A summary of selected recorded differences between these temperature & humidity sensors. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices
  • Screen (display): Sonoff SNZB-02B AirGuard TH Lite — No (The sensor has no display of its own: readings, dew point and VPD are shown in the eWeLink app.); Sonoff SNZB-02UL AirGuard E-Ink TH — Yes (2.9 inch flexible dot-matrix E-Ink panel with a nearly 180 degree viewing angle, readable in bright light. Without a gateway it shows temperature and humidity plus the past 6 hours on a button press.).
Specifications to check side by side
  • Battery Life (power): Sonoff SNZB-02B AirGuard TH Lite — 2 years; Sonoff SNZB-02UL AirGuard E-Ink TH — 8+ months.
Information still to confirm
  • 9 of 35 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
  • Check the full table and manufacturer documentation before ruling out a device.

These observations are derived from recorded catalog data and have not all been independently verified. Confirm details with the manufacturer before purchasing.
