    I only purchased it so I could see in real time what temps look like in other rooms via the nest app. But for $33 a sensor it should be able to provide more than just temp...

    We put a sensor in our baby’s room to better control the climate. Sometimes it seems to read the temperature incorrectly. Sometimes it foes fine. So i give it 3 stars.

    It’s just alright. A bare minimum version of a temperature sensor that has no learning or balancing features. Great if your Nest is in the wrong place, but that’s about it

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with Nest Temperature Sensor. We’re sorry to learn that it didn’t meet your expectations.

      We hear you and we want to help you in the best way possible. Using the Nest Temperature Sensor, please make sure to install it within a maximum of 50 feet (15 m) of your thermostat, so the sensor and thermostat can communicate wirelessly. You may need to place them closer together because the wireless range can be reduced by walls, floors, appliances, furniture and other electronics.

      If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team. We’d be happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought the sensor to monitor and control the temperature in a bedroom at different times than in the living room where the Nest thermostat is located. While the Nest thermostat does allow me to switch between thermostat and sensor, the times of day that I can choose are restricted to a preset range, and they cannot be changed. For example, I want the thermostat to monitor the living room between 7am and 10pm, then switch to the bedroom sensor between 10pm and 7am the next day. Well, the only option Google Nest allows is to select Night, which the pseudo-gurus of Google deem to be fixed between 9pm and 7am. This makes the sensor almost useless. I have to physically move the sensor between rooms from 9pm to 10pm. I guess Google just gave up on it. What a dreadful misapplication of technology.

    Save your money unless you nust have to know what the tempature is in sk.e remote area of your house no kne goes or is in often anyway. It doesnt really change much to affecting the thermastate and you have to put a bigger than it should be screw knto your drywall so plan on patching walls if you later move it, otherwise its wefe you initial choose, so do so wisely.

    Rated 1 star because it ONLY works with one of the Nest thermostats, and is incompatible with the mirror one, which we bought.

      Hi there, Julian. We’re sorry to hear you ran into a compatibility issue with your Nest Temperature Sensor and Nest Thermostat. Although the device is designed so your thermostat can use different sensors at different times, the Nest Temperature Sensor only works with the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd generation) and Nest Thermostat E. We’d be happy to share this with the right team for future improvements. For inquiries or other support concerns, you’ll find our dedicated team ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    You can schedule when you want this sensor to work but there really isn’t any way to adjust the temp except via thermostat.
