Customer Ratings & Reviews

These Smart sensors are definitely needed, but are pricey for the price (~$50 each) and can pair up to 32 sensors to one thermostat. They allow the Ecobee thermostat to monitor each rooms occupancy and temperature. Right now I have 2 sensors ok opposite sides of the house on the 2nd floor and one additional sensor in the family room. Depending on the comfort settings, the thermostat can be configured to take into account occupancy and temperature to reach a desired average temperature. Each sensor comes with a small magnetic stand or a wall mount with adhesive or small screw. They're small enough to not be obtrusive, but definitely still noticeable in certain backgrounds. Not sure how long the coin battery will last in each sensor before needing replacement.

The ecobee SmartSensor is a great addition to anyone monitoring the temperatures in their house with their ecobee thermostat and app. However, these little beauties take on a whole new life when paired with ecobee's Haven solution. I am now able to use my ecobee app to monitor temperatures and motion in certain rooms. This is a great idea for security as well as keeping an eye on the family dog while you are away. The setup is easy and they are ready to go out of the box. After using these, I am ready to buy more to replace my temperature only sensors.

This review was written based on its use with the SmartCamera, SmartSensors for doors/windows and the Haven monitoring service. I don’t own an ecobee smart thermostat, but these smart sensors can double as motion sensors for its ecobee’s home monitoring solution. I'm a big fan of when engineers find innovative ways to use devices that are already on the market for a completely different purpose. Bravo to ecobee for that. For the most part, I can only say good things about the sensor; they come in two-packs and are easily added to an ecobee account (they’ll need an ecobee thermostat or an ecobee smart camera to be used as a central base station). When used with the Haven service, the sensors easily pick up motion and report back as activity alert notifications. The sensor itself is compact and runs off its own battery. It can either be mounted on a wall with the wall mount or used with the magnetic base. Again, all great things. I have no complaints with this piece of hardware. So what complaints do I really have? It’s the service required to run this thing as a home monitoring device. In order to get motion alerts from these sensors, you’ll have to pay for the Haven service. Other home monitoring/security solutions provide notifications as a free-to-use; most of the time, you’re really paying for cloud space to store recorded videos. But to pay for notifications is a bit much. I’d say that if you’re already deep into the ecobee ecosystem with the thermostat and SmartSensors, then it’s a natural progression to pay for the Haven service because you already own the hardware.

Pairs really well with thermostat. Sensors useful to adjust temp in different rooms. Depending on time, easy to schedule the HVAC to run where sensor is placed.

This item really helped make a house like ours more evenly comfortable. We have a multi-level house with a single HVAC system. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the price seems little high to me and the fact that you have no choice but to buy a set of 2. You have to play with the settings for your particular home, but in ours it helped a lot. I think you would be happy with this addition. Extremely easy to set up...just like the thermostat itself.

These things are great! Just moved into a new house with two AC units (thus two thermostats) and was having trouble with temperature control between the two thermostats, one controlling the main living area and one controlling 3 bedrooms (temp bleeding over from one zone to the other). These mini remote thermostats solved that problem easily. By placing a remote thermostat in my primary bedroom I could direct the AC unit responsible for the bedrooms to read temperature from the actual bedroom, thus avoiding the temperature bleed happening from the main living area.

Installed the ecobee3 lite smart thermostat recently in my new house this winter. Immediately the most annoying problem was my master bedroom was always too hot while sleeping. I would either wake up every night to lower the thermostat which is on the hallway wall or try to remember to change the temp before bed. Did some research and people recommended these smart sensors. It was really easy to install and pair with the ecobee3. I like that the sensors pick up motion and reads the room temperature. I only need one, but did add the second sensor to basement man cave that is always colder than the rest of the house. Once configured with the correct comfort setting, the thermostat adjust to room that is in use or the average of multiple rooms. Now I can sleep comfortable at night. Problem solved.

I originally purchased an Ecobee 3 Lite that came with one SmartSensor and one Door/Window sensor. I found out after about a week, that my thermostat would work much better with more sensors, and that these would also function as a back up alarm sensor. So now with a total of three SmartSensors and three Door/Window sensors, my thermostat functions much better, heating up my home very well, while at the same time, saving me money while no one is home. In addition to that, I also feel better knowing that my current alarm system is backed up by each and every Ecobee sensor having a built in motion sensor. I forgot to mention that these are a breeze to install. Just go to the app on your phone, tap the + symbol in the top right corner, choose what your adding, and follow the instructions.

Got a new central air unit put in and they updated our thermostat to a nice smart one. Well it wasnt evenly cooling the home so these were recommended.. Easy to setup and easy to place them in different parts of the home. Now the AC unit cools the house evenly. Pros: Small compact design so they dont stand out in a room, Easily connects to wifi and bluetooth with your phone. Can stand them on little included mount or on wall with supplied bracket. Cons: For the price you only get two which makes them almost $40 each so if you want more it may get expensive. Also dont seem like many stores carry lots of stock of these so you may have to get them shipped.

Easy to install and connect with main thermostat. Motion sensors are a nice feature, but still think is an expensive set.

These SmartSensors were super easy to set up and paired instantly with my ecobee thermostat. I placed them in rooms we use most, and now the system adjusts based on where we actually are. Temperature feels more consistent, and I’ve noticed some energy savings too. Sleek design, accurate sensing—definitely worth it if you want to get the most from your ecobee setup!

The principal bedroom was far from the thermostat and was warmer than the setting. Putting a remote in the bedroom told the thermostat to monitor both locations and the room is more comfortable.

Good integration with existing Ecobee Lite thermostat. Nice to be able to see the temperature in other key spots of my apartment, and then set schedules to use specific sensors. For example, "sleep" looks at the bedroom temperature. Easy to set up. My only wish is that you could buy them as one packs instead of being forced to buy 2.

Easy set up, works like it should. Gives you temperature on different rooms. Expensive tech though

Great sensors for occupancy detection and temperature monitoring. I wish they could've found a way to add in their fancy air quality that exists on the thermostat, but I assume that would've been impossible with the battery capacity. Only negative is that these are pretty expensive.

When you add these little guys to your home system , it just makes the ecobee thermo stat that much better , I’ve bought six of these little guys and I can honestly say my ac system knows me better then ever , love the capabilities and reliability that comes with them. My system knows exactly when I enter a room and prepares my space accordingly .

Love these sensors. I recently purchased the Ecobee Smart Thermostat which came with one of thee sensors. Realized our upstairs was around 5-8 degrees warmer than the location where our thermostat is placed. Due to this, I placed one of the sensors upstairs. However, this made our basement way too cold! So I purchased a few more sensors, and now there is a 2-3 degree difference from the basement to the upstairs. Would HIGHLY recommend this product to allow for full control of your thermostat. Bonus, they work as motion sensors in SmartThings, so you dont have to buy any additional motion sensors for automations!

These thermostats are invaluable. I’ve setup my Ecobee to keep the office temp constant throughout the work day. After 5pm it switches to the Living Room where we live, not in the hall where the thermostat is. Setup is a breeze. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

I like how easy it is to install and how it just starts working pretty quick. I have put it in my rooms and it sense things pretty well. The one downside i will say is that i wish i could put in higher location and tilt it down more so i can keep it certain locations where it is ahed for my dog or something to knock it over.. other than that, it’s great. The other thing to keep in mind is make sure to dont get too much cause it coupd lead to a marginal benefit issue
