QuestionWhat is the difference between BH1253-US and T3007ES? They seem to be the same product, but why do they have different weight? Is outer color of the rim the only difference? Or what kind of smart devices they work with?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer T3007ES is only the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat while BH1253-US includes a Nest Temperature Sensor along with the Nest Learning Thermostat.

QuestionI am currently having a two story house built with a two zone furnace (baffled). It will have two thermostats, one upstairs and one downstairs. I want smart control. Do I have to buy this product and put the sensor upstairs, or buy two Nest thermostats?
Asked 7 years ago by Jason.
- Answer I have two thermostats in my home and the nest thermostat replaces the individual thermostat. If you have two then you replace the two with nest. The sensor can go anywhere that you want to control the temperature. You can program the sensor to be controlled by a specific thermostat. It can't work for two thermostats, so you'll need to get another sensor as well. The sensor tells the thermostat what you want to happen when the temperature reaches a certain level. Thats why you need two. If the temperature downstairs is contolled by a different thermostat then that sensor needs to tell that thermostat what to do to change the temperature for that area.

QuestionHave a cabin which we close up for winter. However, keep one small well insulated room heated. Have 2 thermostats, switch main off and turn small room on. Can this be accomplished with a Nest e and a sensor? Would like to heat main prior to arriving.
Asked 5 years ago by Cabinguy.
- Answer You should be able to do this with the Nest. Using the mobile app I've set the thermostat with my phone to "unoccupied" when we leave and then switch it on 30 minutes before we get back - that's great during very hot or very cold weather.

QuestionWhat is the purpose or benefit of the temperature sensor?
Asked 5 years ago by Jack.
- Answer Is you have a bigger home, sometimes some areas of the house are colder or hotter than the rest, i.e. upstair and downstairs, placing sensor in this area helps the thermostat to function even better, i.e. turning the fan on to circulate the air and have the same temp around the entire house

QuestionHow is this different than T3007ES that is listed for $249?
Asked 6 years ago by Delbar.
- Answer Nothing is different in the thermostat directly. The added feature is the sensor which is nice to have an additional temperature gage in another room. Helps us keep the whole house near the same temperature.
