Have had these installed of a couple of weeks. I like being able to monitor the temp in rooms the thermostat is not in and how the Ecobee evens out the temp between the two rooms. Also use one to monitor occupancy for the unit in our play room so it’s. It running all the time. Pairs well with ecobee 3 lite to make it almost as good as the highly priced ecobee thermostat

Ecobee temp and movement sensor addition

Easy to setup and use. Can be used from showing movement in a room to telling the temperature in it. The come with a base stand or a wall mount. By QR code or manual input you can assign the sensor to you Ecobee. From there it will show temp, if movement was detected, and can be used to let the ecobee more accurately heat and cool your house. Small and easy to place to anywhere. No problems with range even being a floor apart. Informative addition to an Ecobee.

I grabbed these to augment my Ecobee thermostat setup. The extra sensors tell the system what different rooms are at and it can better average out a temperature across a floor / house. I saw people crying about poor battery life for these sensors in online reviews but I haven't had to change a single one yet in ~15 months.

This device is a must-have. I use them to set my bathroom temperature in the morning. I take the one in my bedroom and move it to the bathroom and set the team to 75. It gets to the team I want in the place I need it to be. Its replaces having to have a heater in an area that is not always warm. Its amazing.

These little devices take the ecobee thermostate from good to great! We put one in every major room and that allows us to select what rooms we want the thermostat to consider the temperature when making decisions about running equipment.
Did I mention that each comfort setting can select which sensors to use? This means you can have "night time" only consider bedrooms, daytime the main areas of the house (or home office), etc.
Every house I've lived (for many years) has been made more comfortable with these devices coupled with an ecobee thermostat.
Note that there is no replacement available for the stands/wall mounts from ecobee.
Sadly the biggest downside is the battery. Ecobee uses relatively hard-to get batteries for their remote sensors. Buy a bulk of them from an online retailer when needed. Otherwise I have zero complaints about these little things.

Took me a little bit to figure out the correct place for these but I really like that I can keep track of spots of my house where the AC bents need adjusting or replacing. It has helped keep the house in a more consistent and comfortable temperature so I love these.

My AC was running extensively and thinking that there were some temperature differences throughout the house, I bought these sensors. They are fantastic and have helped the AC to not run as much, as well as maintain a more consistent and comfortable temperature. Setup was easy with my ecobee thermostat. I plan to get a few more!

I have several of these in two houses. One house is mostly A/C year round and the other is in the North where only the heat is controlled by ecobee. In both circumstances these sensors really seem to make the ecobee thermostat create a more comfortable environment throughout the entire house. While these can’t do anything to correct improper vents (too little or to much), they are pretty amazing in evening out the A/C or heat as much as possible simply by controlling the thermostat (it uses an average of all sensors to attempt to get the ideal temperature). These are essential in utilizing the automatic away and follow me features of the ecobee thermostat. As an added bonus, ecobee natively supports HomeKit. With the HomeKit integration, these sensors allow for automations sense they are also occupancy sensors.

These units are smaller than I expected, which is good. Each is about the area of a matchbook. The best devices are those that do their jobs without being noticed.
It took longer to open the box than to pair the units to my Ecobee app. Pull a battery tab, scan the QR code, choose some settings, and done.
I purchased these to more evenly heat/cool my 2,800 sqft house. The upstairs bedrooms tend to differ about 5-6 degrees from the main floor.

Sensors were super easy to place. Nice that you have the option to either wall mount or place it on the magnetic holder. Syncing it to the Ecobee thermostat was a simple step. We have them in our bedroom and living room. We use the bedroom sensor to set the temperature priority at night, which is a great feature. Overall, we are happy with the Ecobee system and look forward to the energy savings.

Additional sensors make the ecobee work better

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.

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.

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.
