Great addition to help control the temperature in the rooms that are occupied.

These are really useful with the Ecobee system, especially if your house has rooms that run hot or cold. You can tell your thermostat to average all responses from your sensors, or you can tell it to prioritize the temp in different rooms at different times (e.g., bedrooms at night). These sensors, having motion detectors as well, can also be integrated with Ecobee security (an extra subscription cost). They install super easily, either on little stands or stuck to walls, and pair automatically with the Ecobee smart thermostat.

Overall the Ecobee thermostats and sensors work very well and worth the money. However they lack adequate instructions requiring multiple calls/chats to answer questions and resolve. The sensors came with wall mounts. I put up the wall mount the sensor just falls off. I have three wall mounts and all had the same issue. Frustrating.

The sensors really help monitor individual room temps and adjust thermostat based on the average of participating sensors at any given time. I love them!

Ecobee initially added HomeKit arming and disarming support, then abruptly removed it without any notice. I didn’t realize this change for two days, which meant my home wasn’t arming at night or when I left the house. For a so-called security product, that lack of communication is pure negligence.
I also discovered another major flaw. if my thermostat loses its internet connection, even while still connected to my router, the security system will not trigger an alarm. Alarm functionality is locked behind their subscription paywall. That makes the system unreliable and focused more on driving subscriptions than protecting customers.
What’s worse is the inconsistency. Even without internet, the door chime still works locally on the thermostat, yet the alarm itself won’t sound. That shows the feature is intentionally disabled unless you’re paying "or connected to the internet".
This creates a dangerous situation. My home could still have power, but if someone cut the internet line, they could open a door while I was asleep and the alarm would remain silent inside the house.
Between the unannounced HomeKit removal and the critical internet dependency, I’ve decided to abandon the entire Ecobee product line. Avoid this system, it cannot be trusted.

These work very well to remove hot/cold spots in the house. we have three sensors on each ecobee thermostat.
The only reason I did not give them 5 stars, is because cat knocked one off the shelf on to a wood floor, and it stopped working. For a device that is intended to be sitting on a shelf... one would think it would survive a four foot fall on to the floor. stupid cat.

I will always standby the decision to invest in a smart thermostat. These sensors are an invaluable tool. Placing these in rooms away from your thermostat help get a better temperature reading of your house. If you have spots that get too hot, or too cold, this will help balance your homes temperature.
