Giving the Sonoff Light Switch a Style Make-over, and adding a Temperature Sensor

The search for the perfect Smart Light switch has led me to the Sonoff T1.  There are a lot of things to like about the T1, but the one big knock against it is the style.  Let me show you what I’ve done to make the T1 more Wife-Approvable. And as a bonus, I’ll show you how to add a temperature and humidity sensor so you can easily get temperature readings from all over your house.

The Sonoff T1 is a great smart switch. I really like the 3-button version.  It gets called 3-gang a lot but I don’t think that’s the proper term.  At least according to the wise wizards of electricalness that taught me, a “gang” refers to the width of one switch or receptacle.  So technically, this T1 is a single gang switch, but it has 3 buttons and 3 relays. If I worked for Sonoff I’d probably call it the T3, but since I don’t work for Sonoff, I can call it whatever I want.  I hereby declare it the TriZzwitch!
