What's the difference between the Sensi Smart Thermostat and the Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat?

The Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat is a touchscreen Wi-Fi enabled thermostat. It requires a “C”/common wire to power on and comes in white or black. It has a few model specific features that has to do with lighting (Back Glow, Sleep Screen), but otherwise has the same features and functions as the Sensi Smart Thermostat.

The Sensi Smart Thermostat is Wi-Fi enabled as well, but does not require a “C”/common wire if you’re installing to a heating and cooling system.
