Thanks! Even though I can totally set it up myself, it’s _great_ to have app walkthroughs like this one to preview and help decide if I even want to buy it or not. So, very helpful video. ❤

Think of it as being able to take the thermostat your house came with, take it off the wall, and move it anywhere you want. Except you do that over WiF. For example my thermostat is downstairs. So if I’m running the heater, the heater will reach desired temperature downstairs while upstairs bedrooms stay cold. Heat is FLOWING to the upstairs bedrooms, but the thermostat downstairs turns the heater off because it’s now hot downstairs. So I got a remote temperature sensor for upstairs. I have the heater look at the downstairs thermostat during the day, then when we go to bed, I have the heater look at the temperature on the sensor upstairs. The heater will stay on until it gets warm upstairs. Not perfect but better. To ultimately control the temperature precisely throughout the house, then you need to get a new system that is “zoned” the way you want it.

Hi there, great video. But I needed some additional information, my Nest thermostat is located in my garage and used for heat only, and it is normally turned off so the heater does not kick on all the time.
I need to know what the temperature inside the garage is and the thermostat does not go low enough. So I needed to know if this device will give me the garage temperature WITHOUT turning on the heater.
If you can let me know if this work, I sure would appreciate it before I buy it.
Thanks again. 👍👍

These sensors are a great idea, but how will they control the airflow going into the room to make it cooler or warmer? That does not seem to make sense. Usually, when you turn the AC or heater on in a house, say at 70 degrees, how will it control the airflow to your room to make it warmer or cooler seems you would need air throttle devices in your air ducts for all rooms. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ~Chad James

Good review/how to guide, but I'm disappointed in the ability of the technology. We have a 2 story house. With sensors in two locations, I should be able to set a margin of tolerance between the levels. Our upstairs gets hot. If the downstairs is cool, just use the fan to cool off the upstairs. It should be able to see both temperatures and adjust the function.

I want this in the UK ? It drives me insane that I cannot find a solution like this for UK NEST customers ?

I tried setting it up.. Buts its telling me I need a compatible Thermostat.. Its not syncing.. Could it be my Thermostat is older model thats why?

I just bought the learning thermostats and sensor. My thermostat is in the hallway. Warmest part of the house. My livbg room be at 62f hallway at 69f. This sensor will accurately tell the temperature of the livibg area we actually need warmer

Can't figure out how to make these work with Google Home App. Nest App doesn't have our therms on it anymore as they were forced to Google Home App. Please advise

Is there a difference between the newer Google Nest Temperature Sensor and the older Nest sensors before Google acquired Nest?

[JaredTuttle]

I believe those slots for opening the back were originally made to use a coin as a tool .

I thought you could have the thermostat read a certain sensor during different parts of the day...
