I purchased these two additional sensors for my upstairs bedrooms and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised how good they work. They are easy to set up under the Ecobee app. I would recommend these if you have a large home. They work well.

It's nice to be able to find the temperature in our bedroom or the office, and it senses motion so I could (if I wanted to) see when my wife is at her desk. I thought I could use it to adjust the temperature, but if so, I don't know how to do it.

These things are great - along with an ecobee home base I can easily tune my temperature control settings based on the temps in various places around the house - can ignore each at any time too. I have 4 + the main thermostat.

The ecobee thermostat is a smart choice for those looking to enhance their home's energy efficiency. With its sleek design and intuitive touchscreen interface, it's both an aesthetic and practical addition to any home. Its ability to learn and adapt to your schedule, as well as integrate with most smart home systems, allows for effortless automation and control. The remote sensors are a standout feature, ensuring comfort in the rooms that matter most. Moreover, its compatibility with voice assistants adds a layer of convenience. While the installation process may be challenging for some, the long-term benefits and energy savings can justify the initial effort. Ecobee also offers robust customer support to help with any hurdles in setting up. Overall, it's a solid investment for those looking to modernize their temperature control and cut down on energy usage.

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.

So far we have only used one sensor as we're waiting for construction to complete on another level to our home. The EcoBee thermostat acts as the first sensor and lets you know the temp where it's located but we have a 3 story house and the temp varies on each level, so we needed a way to know what the current temp was on the other levels to regulate the temp evenly. This is a mountain home where the difference in temp between floors can easily be 10-15 degrees. Works great so far.

Great companion for the smart thermostat. Small form but accurate readings, and the motion sensor makes Nest temperature sensor look outdated.

Product does exactly what it should. Helps keep the other rooms in my house cool. Before worhout these the ecobee would only adjust for the temp downstairs. Now it takes in consideration what the temp is upstairs in the different rooms to keep entire house cool when occupied.

These have helped me to control the temperature in my house. I constantly struggled with different rooms having drastically different temperatures. I can now set my thermostat to only pay attention to my bedroom sensor at night, ignoring the other rooms, and letting me sleep comfortably.

Essential to get full potential out of ecobee

I believe these are mandatory to get the full potential out of your ecobee system in a home with more than 1 or 2 bedrooms/multiple stories. The home/away features don't work that well, but the main benefit is being able to average the temperature between multiple rooms for a more even heating/cooling experience. It will make you more comfortable.

The temperature in my home is more comfortable as the thermostat is a distance from the room that we spend the most time in. This has helped even the temperature in the entire home.

It's too darn cold in the bedroom. Turn the heat up! Love these sensors--allows me to monitor every room in my home! Just wish I could monitor the humidity with these things.

Great idea for specific room temps

These are great when trying to cool or warm a particular room versus the entire house. I have one in our living room and one in our bedroom. 1st floor thermostat is in the dinning room and the 2nd floor is in the hallway. Our living room is generally a cooler room. So in the winter months the heat would run a little longer to bring the temperature up in that specific room if the sensor saw someone in it. Plan on getting two more. One for my wife’s office and one for my son’s bedroom. They are both in those rooms for majority of the time during the week.

Not sure it’s making a noticeable difference

It’s possible this is normalizing my temps but honestly I haven’t really noticed much difference. I do have a room with big windows and a lot of sun in the afternoon. I put one of these in that room in early May. The room has seemed very tolerable this summer so far. Typically this room has seemed significantly warmer in summer in past years. Because of the timing of when I got these sensors I am guessing that’s why I didn’t notice a huge difference. Meaning the temps were still moderate when we got these. I am going with the assumption these are helping and leaving it at that! And I haven’t seen a huge electric bill either - at least not yet.

Huge disappointment vs. Ecobee Base

One out of 2 is not bad...
Yes only one works now after a year of using both. The other for some reason eats thru batteries as if they were pancakes in an all you can eat diner. Horrible customer service at Ecobee they have no idea and sorry you warranty did not cover this.
The other working unit- delivers but be sure to manage program otherwise the section with the unit gets more A/C or less than you care.. but it does deliver on motion sensor and temperate the rooms prior or when set.

That's not the experience we want you to have with ecobee SmartSensor. Please send an email to [email protected] with your SmartSensor serial number (you can find this in the ecobee app), and any previous ticket numbers. Happy to help make this right.
