Q: QuestionDo i need wifi or phone line to be sble to recieve remote warnings of the temp

Asked 6 years ago by Jack.

• A:Answer The thermostat needs Wifi to utilize any communication. The sensors communicate directly with the thermostat and not through WiFi. If a sensor has a low temperature and the thermostat is offline, you will not receive a notification.

Q: QuestionMy heating system has 1 zone only. My Nest-E thermostat is on the first floor over a heater. So if I install these upstairs I can choose 1 of these and it will adjust the Nest-E that controls the single-zone heater. Bedroom = nice Downstairs = Hot.

Asked 7 years ago by Redstar.

• A:Answer Yes. You can choose what sensor the Nest thermostat reads from and it will adjust the temperature accordingly. I have mine set up to read different sensors at different times of the day. Example read the living room sensor during the evening and switch to master bedroom sensor at night while sleeping. I really enjoy the Nest system.

Q: QuestionI feel my thermostat for my central air is in a bad spot, if i buy a nest to replace my current thermostat can i use one of these sensors in my living room to read the temp but still have the whole system run to cool the house?

Asked 7 years ago by Mike.

• A:Answer So I have installed 2 of the 3 so far and I love them. I can manually select the room I want to use to determine how the house is cooled or I can setup a schedule. So at night I have my master bedroom used to control the temperature based on a schedule. But when my son and I will be in the basement for a while I manually choose the basement. It's convenient and easy to install and setup.

Q: QuestionI do not have a Nest thermostat (and my heating system does not have wifi capability) but what I want them for is to monitor 2 different floors and the basement when I'm out of town. Will these work for simply monitoring temperatures remotely?

Asked 1 year ago by Bmak.

• A:Answer Hi, Bmak. Thanks for your interest in our products. No. You can't use a Nest Temperature Sensor without a Nest thermostat. Your temperature sensor reports temperature data directly to a Nest thermostat in the same home.

Q: QuestionCan the NEST temperature sensor be used outside to measure below 32F temperature? If not, is there a Google home compatible product that does?

Asked 2 years ago by BJJLPQS.

Q: QuestionWhen will Nest update the way the time schedule works? It is restricted to somewhat arbitrary fixed time slots that the user can’t change. E.g. my personal “nighttime” starts at 10pm, but the Nest “nighttime” schedule starts at 9pm every day.

Q: QuestionCan this be used as a heat detector? Code requires a smoke detector in home (which I can use Nest Protect for) but then a heat detector in garage. Will this work as such?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer No you cannot bc is not a smoke or heat alarm. Code is for smoke alarms to protect you and your home. In code you are required to have specific Lu hardwire smoke detectors in every bedroom and every hallway, 12ft from each other in long hallways. The reason why it needs to be hardwire is bc that will be connected to your house electricity and in order for you to live there you will always have electricity allowing them to always work. So you would need either an Electriccian or an alarm company to do it for you. But that’s if you are doing fire to code. If not you can just put your smk detector of choice to have protection. Besides the only time you would be require to have fire to code in your house is when your house needs to have inspection from the town which is required when selling or getting construction done in the house. Good luck

Q: QuestionCan this temperature sensor be used as a stand alone and just provide a temperature readout via internet for a remote home?

Asked 4 years ago by JackL.

• A:Answer I don’t think so as the sensors don’t have a way to directly connect to your wifi. The thermostat is like the middle man/would be considered the “access point” that connects to your wifi, and the sensors just connect to the thermostat. Hope that helps
