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.

I purchased these sensors as an ad to some sensors. I already have. They were great. I highly recommend them to complement your ecobee thermostat.

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.

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!

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.

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've got one of those house with a huge temperature variance between the up and downstairs levels. Bought these sensor to set in different rooms. Depending who is home and what room there in these seem like they are working out very well to keep occupied spaces comfortable. Very happy so far!
Not much with the set up and I think they'll pay for themselves over time.

I purchased this item to place in my home office which is over my garage. It use to be the hardest room to heat or cool because the register in the house does nothing for this room. Since I'm usually in my office 8-9 hrs a day, I need it to be comfortable enough to work. Before... I had to place a space heater or fan in my room to get through the day. Since I placed the sensor in the room, it knows when I'm occupying my office. So this room is always comfortable whilst in use. I've saved energy by placing one in the rooms that are barely occupied to save money. It's a great idea! But the setup can be tiresome for this little guy! FYI... This little thing has to be "paired" with your thermostat and it's NOT easy. The instructions are simple, but you'd think you're losing your mind because it should be a breeze to pair with the thermostat like anything else you pair on a regular basis! I had to phone Ecobee for assistance. The agent said it needed an UPDATE to pair?! Why doesn't it say on the box to contact Ecobee in advance for this?! Or better yet, push an automatic update like everything else does? Also, you can not find out the status/temperature of the room when you ask your smart device. I use Google. "Hey Google... What's the temperature in the office?" The response is.."My apologies I can't assist with that yet". And there's no way to tell the hub about the new device, because it's "paired" with the thermostat and not actually "connected" to the network per say. It doesn't give you a reading for the room although it seems truly capable. The only way to get the reading for the room is to open the app. For something so advanced, that is so behind the times.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Small, easy to set up and unobtrusive. Work well with the Ecobee thermostats to set an appropiate temperature in different places in the house based on comfort setting / schedule.
