Give your smart thermostat a PhD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Ecobee smart thermostat and these senors take it to the next level! Not only is my thermostat able to better know how to heat and chill my home, because of these senors it now knows where the hot or cold spots are, what rooms are being used, when I'm home, and help me use less energy! They've paid for themselves in a month!

SmartSensor from a Home Security Point of View
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review was written based on its use with the SmartCamera, SmartSensors for doors/windows and the Haven monitoring service. I don’t own an ecobee smart thermostat, but these smart sensors can double as motion sensors for its ecobee’s home monitoring solution. I'm a big fan of when engineers find innovative ways to use devices that are already on the market for a completely different purpose. Bravo to ecobee for that. For the most part, I can only say good things about the sensor; they come in two-packs and are easily added to an ecobee account (they’ll need an ecobee thermostat or an ecobee smart camera to be used as a central base station). When used with the Haven service, the sensors easily pick up motion and report back as activity alert notifications. The sensor itself is compact and runs off its own battery. It can either be mounted on a wall with the wall mount or used with the magnetic base. Again, all great things. I have no complaints with this piece of hardware. So what complaints do I really have? It’s the service required to run this thing as a home monitoring device. In order to get motion alerts from these sensors, you’ll have to pay for the Haven service. Other home monitoring/security solutions provide notifications as a free-to-use; most of the time, you’re really paying for cloud space to store recorded videos. But to pay for notifications is a bit much. I’d say that if you’re already deep into the ecobee ecosystem with the thermostat and SmartSensors, then it’s a natural progression to pay for the Haven service because you already own the hardware.

Save money, be comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition for Ecobee 4 thermostat users. Place these small remote sensors where you spend the most time. They detect when you're in range and optimize comfort for that area. My local utility offers an Eco+ plan that offers lower rates to participants who decide to economize during peak use periods. It's a great, automatic way to save money every month.

Worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have helped me to control the temperature in my house. I constantly struggled with different rooms having drastically different temperatures. I can now set my thermostat to only pay attention to my bedroom sensor at night, ignoring the other rooms, and letting me sleep comfortably.

Q: QuestionWhat does a smart sensor do?
Asked by Donnie.
- A:Answer The Ecobee Smart sensor allows temperature measurement in a location other than the main unit which must be attached to the wires that attach to the HVAC unit. Many times the main thermostat is in a hallway but the temperature in the hallway is different from your living room or bedroom. Put a remote smart sensor in either or both of these rooms to monitor those temperatures and feedback to Ecobee to control the HVAC. Note: remote smart sensor must be within about 30 to 40 feet of the Ecobe unit in order to communicate with it. The remote smart sensor does not have any wires so can be placed anywhere within this distance.

Q: QuestionWill the ecobee work with more than two sensors?
Asked by Van007.
- A:Answer Absolutely! Your ecobee smart thermostat can support up to 32 sensors including both our older ecobee Room Sensor and newer ecobee SmartSensor.
Answered by ecobee
Q: QuestionDoes the temperature sensed by the remote sensor override the temperature sensor in the wall unit? In winter I have hot spots in my house. Would like sensor to detect them and reduce the winter energy bill. Coolest air is located at thermostat.
Asked by Matt.
- A:Answer Yes! There are three comfort settings. Home, away, sleep. You set the hours for each. You can choose for which comfort setting each sensor will be the primary thermostat. For example, I have one in ech room, so the ones in the bedrooms have the sleep comfort setting selected, and the other sensors/wall unit don’t. Meaning that during my sleep hours those sensors will be the ones to control the thermostat. Therefore, if I have the temp set at 75 those sensors will be at 75 even though my wall unit reads 73, 78. The smart thermostat listens to the sensors I chose. It’s confusing at first. I had to research how they worked and how to set them up but once I understood and set them and saw they worked I got more sensors for other rooms in my home. In the pic you can see I have sensors in 3 extra rooms. Those are the ones that have cold or hot spots. I placed the temp at 78, so you can see. I usually keep it at 76 during chilly nights. My sleep comfort is ON for bedroom/den and because those had a temp of 76 the heater turned on because I want those rooms at 78 and they’re the ones ruling right now. So the heater turned on even though the wall unit(ecobee) was already 78 but since my sleep comfort is going to rule the smart thermostat will get overridden. I hope I explained myself correctly!

Q: QuestionI installed an ecobee 4 w/Alexa. It came w/one sensor that works well for our bdrm. I'm going to buy more due to hot spots. The house we just bought has a brand new low-end single zone HVAC. What's the best control I can expect with a single zone system?
Asked by CarolC.
- A:Answer With the ecobee and more sensors, your house can be more "Balanced", but don't expect each room to be perfect. You can set it up to use any individual or group of sensors and will take some time to find the proper setting. Whatever you do, the area where the actual thermostat is located may be hotter or colder depending on the settings. Be patient and it'll work out. For instance, we have a thermostat IN a bedroom upstairs. That's where the builder put it. If that room's door is closed, the rest of the upstairs is hot, or cold depending on the season. We placed the sensors in each of the bedrooms and read what their temps were before tweaking. The bedroom where the thermostat is located can be ignored and the rest of the rooms sensored. In the summer, that room is COLD and the other rooms really warm or hot, so now we add that sensor into the mix and the ecobee finds a temp that averages all the sensors. So that room is cooler than the others, and the other rooms are comfortable, which is better than the 78 degrees. It took time to find the balance, but it's great now. No more sweaty or shivering nights.

Q: QuestionHow accurate is the temperature on these new smart sensors, and what makes these better than the previous generation sensors?
Asked by SCB.
- A:Answer Seems to be accurate within one degree. So for they've been accurate and extremely useful. Only negative is the batteries are hard to source.

Q: QuestionIs it possible to find a misplaced sensor? (I’m thinking of something like the “tile”, when those get lost, they can be found by a chime sounds.)
