Product Manuals

Q: What is the difference in using these vs. buying a few thermostats for my home? Do I only need one thermostat for my home and then allow these to control the temperature in each zone?

A: Seems kind of pointless if u cant control each zone seperatly. Sounds like they need to be matched with a automated register to control the amount of hot and/or cool into that zone/room. Otherwise you are heating and cooling parts of ur home you may not want to.

Q: Call me crazy, but wouldn't this sensor just make another area of your home hotter/colder? For instance, a master bedroom on a 2nd floor, naturally warmer because heat rises. If I put a sensor in there, wouldn't it make my first floor a freezer?

A: Sure, but I want comfort in the master bedroom if that's where I'm sleeping. That's what the time zones are for - you can tell it to cater the temperature to your master bedroom during night time hours only, but the main living area during the day.

Q: It says the sensor can be used as the primary, scheduled as primary/secondary, etc. Can it be in a room as a secondary unless the temperature goes above or below presets? For example in a nursery could it be set as the secondary unless it got too cold?

A: At this time the Nest Temperature sensor can only be scheduled to take priority during certain times of the day, but doesn't have the ability to only take over if a certain temperature is met. With that said we'll be happy to send this up as a feature suggestion for you.

Q: Nest is at it again. Why doesn't this device support 2nd or 1st Gen thermostats. This isn't a hardware limitation in those devices is it?

A: When the Nest Thermostat 1st Gen and the Nest Thermostat 2nd Gen products launched, they were designed without Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities and they run older chipsets with less memory and processing power than our newer thermostats. This accessory launch does not mean that first and second generation Nest Learning Thermostats need to be upgraded. They continue to help people save energy and stay comfortable, and they receive regular software updates just like the newer thermostats. They simply do not work with this specific accessory.

Q: Does the Nest app provide you with current temperature for each sensor?

A: Yes, each sensor will monitor temperature in the location it is installed and you can control the rooms individually.

Q: Will the Nest app show the temperature readings of each sensor on the app?

A: Yes in the app one will be able to see the temperature of the thermostat and each attached sensor. Farsight will show the temperature from the sensor (thermostats built in or remote) that is currently set to control the temperature.

Q: How is it powered?

A: They run on one CR2 3V lithium battery (included with it), and it has up to 2-year battery life.

Q: Can you use each sensor with different nest thermostats? For example I have two thermostats can i use two sensors on one thermostat and the other sensor on the other thermostat?

A: Yes

Fixed my hot thermostat issue!
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.

They do the job as expected
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

Love these guys - perfect with Learning Thermostat
These little guys are so cool and go unnoticed if put up in the right spot but they're so smart and hard working. I just got my Nest Learning Thermostat and one of the goals was to better regulate the temperature throughout our 2 story townhome. It's one of those that it's hot in the bedroom, cold in the office, stale in the dining room, etc. I swear I noticed an instant difference within 2 to 3 hours of installing the thermostat and sensors. Not only that it made it all really easy to regulate and adjust in app via Nest, see the temps in Google Home and you can adjust the temp via Assistant (I'm sure you have a Nest Audio Speaker if you're purchasing this). I installed it pretty much right after the last billing cycle with Duke Energy and I'm hoping these tools can help with our energy costs. I suppose time will tell. However even if it stays the same, it's worth it for the control over the different zones. Plus you get a free NEST RENEW subscription which teaches you about going green, you earn leaves, I'm honestly not sure what all it does. I'm still learning the Thermostat abilities in app. And yes while I am the OFFICIAL-unofficial 'Google Guy' I say I Highly recommend the censors and the Learning Thermostat. (If for no other reason it's worth the extra $ for that hot stainless steel finish and gorgeous display!)
