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!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it averages the temp. Use your vent flaps to control. Your air flow. In the app you can see what each sensor is reading
