Customers are impressed with the Nest Temperature Sensor's temperature control, ease of use, and simple setup. Many find the sensors to be accurate and of a convenient size, with solid battery life. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high and have experienced issues with compatibility and connectivity. Additionally, a few customers have noted limitations in range and scheduling options.
I installed a Nest Learning Thermostat earlier this year in our new-to-us house. It had been functioning properly up until it started heating up in Florida. The thermostat is on the wall next to the garage, and there is unfortunately very little insulation on this wall. I decided to try the temperature sensor and mount it to the wall across from the thermostat in a more central part of the house. Setup was easy and took a total of about 5 minutes. After the temperature on the sensor stabilized, my A/C has been running less, and the temperature throughout the house is more stable. There is about a two-to-four-degree difference between the sensor itself and the Nest Thermostat. I can set a sensor schedule so that the system runs based on the sensor temperature during the day, and at night based on the Nest thermostat itself, and this works along with the temperature schedule I have set on the Nest Learning thermostat itself. Hopefully this little guy - along with having my A/C system serviced regularly (change your filters monthly and have an HVAC tech check your system annually!!) should help with my outrageous energy costs during the summer.

So I have google nest thermostat and then I got these to put around the house They will be very helpful if your house doesn’t heat or cold evenly In my case, the living room a kitchen heats much faster than the bedrooms in winter and my google nest thermostat is in the living room so when I set up the temp to 70 in winter the living room gets to 70f but the bedroom still at 65f which feels much colder However after I installed these, now when I turn on the heater or cold air, I can pick which temperature sensor I want the AC unit to look at So now I pick my office to be the main temp sensor and the heater or cold air will not turn off until that office temp sensor gets to the desired temperature I also can pick other temp sensors around the house, and you can just pick the google nest temperature sensor itself I think this a good product Also, you can monitor the temperature in the house even if the AC unit is not turned off

I rate this product as excellent, 5 stars, due to the face that this is the essential item to completing your Nest thermostat, and Smart Home. When we first purchased our Nest thermostat, we had trouble keeping the house a consistent temperature. If I had the heat set at 70, the upstairs would get to 70 and shut off based on the temp the Nest thermostat was reading at the thermostat. With some adjustments to our vents in the home by closing some off and opening others more, we now have it under control, but mostly thanks to the Nest Temp Sensor. Having the ability to determine which sensor is the primary sensor in the Nest application, makes this an absolute necessary purchase at its price point. We now are able to keep the basement and upstairs zero to one degree apart from one another. For anyone with a split level, two level, or multi-level home, this should be at the top of your shopping list when considering the Nest thermostat.
