No. This product needs to be linked to a nest brand thermostat and connected to the same wifi and the nest thermostat.

Works only in conjunction with Nest thermostat, connected to same wifi network.

No, the Nest Temperature Sensor needs to be within range of a hub device such as the Nest Thermostat. A example of where this could work would be if you have a Nest Thermostat at home and you had your van outfront, in your driveway or in your garage and had a Nest Temperature Sensor inside it and within range of the hub you could see. However, the range isn't that far, I believe it's 30m or so.

The remote sensors are limited by the Wi-Fi range that they are operating on. Wi-Fi extenders may help.
