Pairs easy with Eco Bee, nice to know different Temps in house. Helps the thermostat set better schedules. A bit pricy for only to sensors.

Just like all the other Ecobee sensors, they pair easily and just work. They give an accurate temperature of the room you have them in and will improve the "follow me" feature by identifying where people are in your house.
That said, they are crazy expensive for what you get and practically never go on sale which is sad.

I was happy to find these in stock at my local Best Buy. My HVAC technician had just installed an ecobee which came with one Smart Sensor. Adding just these two made the ecobee much more responsive. I have since added a total of 4 more sensors (7 total plus the thermostat).
With three stories on a one-zone system, these sensors have really helped us keep a relatively even temperature throughout the house. We no longer feel that one floor is way too cool and another way too hot.
The thermostat seems to average the readings to get as close to an average temp at the set point we choose. The extras we added so that each major room has one allows us to “tell” the thermostat that the house has occupants (which it could not always tell with just the thermostat plus the original sensor. That seems important.

It's nice that they were easy to set up, I like these compared to google nest sensors that this one is smarter. That means they have motion sensors to include or exclude that room from turning on the AC.

If you have an ecobee with the older style sensors. Get these! They are an upgrade for sure! They are faster to recognize people in the room and are more accurate in regards to temperature.
My old sensors wouldn’t recognize a person walking in front of them, often leaving a room “unoccupied “ even though we were in it. I replaced batteries and did the other tricks online, but nothing helped. I was often having to adjust temperatures to compensate for their inability to recognize people.
The new ones are perfect! I don’t even touch the temperature anymore since it knows where people are and adjusts automatically, like it’s supposed to do.

These sensors work perfect with our ecobee smart thermostat. They were easy to connect and now we can tell what temp our basement & upstairs bedrooms are.

I purchased these as an addition to my current Ecobee to allow more control over my temperature settings.
I now have one in a back bedroom and one in the living room. Depending upon the time of day I can have the thermostat use he sensor with the most accurate sensor to regulate a specific area. Example: At night we like it colder but the hall thermostat registers much warmer. I have the thermostat refer to a sensor in another bedroom with similar temperatures to ours to maintain the temperature we desire. Then during waking hours I have it “average” the temperatures between the hall and living room.
We do not have a modern energy efficient home BUT by using these methods our energy usage/audit, according to our local energy company, is in the top 23% of energy efficient homes.

Bought to help regulate temp in other rooms vs hallway. Worked immediately to meet temp in chosen room. Wish it had the ability to only make 1 active vs the follow me where it keeps changing based on which room you are in.

The sensors work really well and they’re a breeze to set up. I highly recommend adding these sensors if you’re invested in the Ecobee ecosystem bc it will provide more accurate temperature theoughout your home.

We bought a new home the beginning of January and it came with a Ecobee smart thermostat. We noticed some rooms were colder or hotter than the others, so we purchased these to help control the temp.
They work well, no issues. Setup was super easy.

These sensors are excellent. The only negative would be price, but they are wonderful. Super easy to install not tools needed. They sync super easy and fast. The setup is effortless. To know the exact temperature wherever you place one and not relying on the thermostat is terrific.
Works as thermometer and motion sensor in home kit

Work well enough, lets you see more accurate temps in different spots and works as a motion sensor for apple homekit. You see each sensor as a temp accessory and as a motion sensor. Not sure if this integrates into any scenes etc, but it is good to know that it does that.

These were easy to sync with my Ecobee smart thermostat. The information they supply for each room has made it easier to maintain a balanced temperature across the entire house. You can monitor them on the thermostat, in app and surprisingly even on Apple Watch.

Great addition to your ecobee if you have rooms that do not heat/cool evenly. These allow you to choose which sensors are responsible for the overall temp used by the ecobee for each comfort setting. For the ‘sleep’ comfort setting I am now able to tell it to use the temperature in our master bedroom and nursery only which tend to be warmer than the living room where the main unit is located. It takes an average of the 2 rooms to decide what the current temp in those rooms are. Allows us to be comfortable all day no matter what room we are in.

Extremely easy to set up, works as advertised, and smaller than I thought they would be (which is a great plus!) They look extremely well, yet blend in seamlessly. Greatly extends the "smartness" of your thermostat. Excellent product!
