    This thermostat with the sensor is great. Most homes are built with th air handler on the opposite side of the house from the master bedroom. I purchased this one because of that with the sensor I was able to find out there was a five degree difference from the temperature in the living area and the master bedroom. This thermostat has giving me a balance in every room. Which means if the temperature is 70 degrees in the living area it is also 70 degrees in the master bedroom

    This is a great update from the 3rd gen. The only thing I would say that is negative would be the scheduling system. You can’t set one temperature for all modes, there are separate temps for heat/cool which have to be two degrees apart. For example, if you want to cool to 68, heating has to be set at 70. It’s not difficult to change, but it’s not a set and forget thing. Haven’t had it long enough to see what that affects.
