    This item was pretty easy to set up. I had to reset my nest thermostat and once i did that it worked smoothly. I have uneven temps in the house so it allows to get the desired temp on whichever floor im on

    Perfect Addition to Nest Thermostat

    I have a modified 2 story home and the upstairs is always to hot in the summer or to cold in the winter. I put one of the sensors in our bedroom so at night so that the thermostat takes the temp from our bedroom in the evening instead of from the thermostat on the 1st floor in the hallway. It made an amazing difference the first night we had it. Instead of the first floor being 72 degrees and our bedroom being 75 degrees, our bedroom actually got to 72 degrees.

    When I recently bought my house the thermostat was upstairs so I had a major problem with the heat distribution. I was going to move my thermostat downstairs but after research I thought the Google Nest Thermostat and its sensors might help me with my problem best move I made. I can control my thermostat offer any off the sensors in any room which regulates my house so much better great product

    Dont like that it requires a CR2. It also does NOT work with Google Home. you are required to download the Nest App. The app then sends you msgs that that the sensor is offline when the fact is that the thermostat is offline. Additionally, it states that it may be too far from the thermostat when it has a range of 50' but it is at less then half of that.

      Hi Miguel, we appreciate your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you may be having with Nest Temperature Sensor. We´ll definitely pass along the details of your suggestions to our product team and see what new things we can cook up. Although the Nest Temperature Sensor should ideally work within a maximum of 50 feet (15 m) of your thermostat, you may need to place them closer together because the wireless range can be reduced by walls, floors, appliances, furniture and other electronics. However, if you have already isolated that there are no possible sources of interference between your Nest thermostat and Nest Temperature Sensor, we suggest reaching out to our support team for further help on the issue here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    My neighborhood is melting with the cost of air conditioning, the average is over 475 for a house over 1,500 feet, but this sensor has kept the cost of my 2,200 square foot house below 190 thanks to the fact that the temperature does it from a cooler and more stable place of the house temperature. Normally the thermostat is in the hottest place in the house, and the machine constantly registers needs to work harder and harder.

    Nest sensors work great...With drawbacks

    These are great if you simply want to know the temperature inside of a room; however, as you would expect, if you regular to one room odds are that all other rooms will be way too hot or way too cold. I'm in a 5-level split and my daughter's room is always freezing... Setting this to her room at night completely baked the rest of the home, which I had expected. However, and with that said, I do like seeing what's going on with the temperature in each room, so it does the job.

    I was a little skeptical of buying this at first but I like the way it tells your learning nest thermostat to run when your in that area of the house especially for larger homes. My home is over 2000 sq ft and I couldn't be happier especially in the winter I dont like it to hot the app let's you set the temperature sensor for that area or room of the house to your liking and then just simply select from the app where you are so it's not uncomfortable to you. Best thing ever.

    It’s a great addition to your nest thermostat. You definitely need a thermostat in each room, because every room has a different temperature depending on the position north south east west of the house. The houses that are facing the sun tend to be warmer, so you need to regulate the temperature according to that room.

    Installing the three remote temperature sensors around the house, I am now able to effectively control temperature from any of the three locations, independent of the main thermostat. This eliminates having additional wiring run and separate thermostats installed at those locations. The temperature sensors are seamlessly integrated with the nest app. You can change a selected temperature sensor from within the app and remotely from over the web when away from home. I am impressed!

    About as basic as can be

    Super basic. These things shouldn't be more than $20 though. All the software allows for is to read the temp in a room and to schedule what temp it should be for that time of day. It doesn't have a proximity sensor or can't average temperatures across sensors. Unless you have bad insulation you're better off just raising the heat or AC for your thermostat 3-4 degrees at the times you need it. Despite it's downfalls I still recommend it but only because I'm a data guy. I'd wait until they're on sale though.

    The sensor makes our experience with Nest thermostat significantly better! It's very easy to set up and use. The only wish I have is a better experience within the Nest app for additional sensors. I need to add it under the existing thermostat which kind of doesn't make sense because thermostat is in a different room than the sensor. Otherwise I wouldn't be getting it.. But very happy with the ability to set different temperature targets for different rooms depending on the time of the day.

    Love these temperature sensors with my Nest thermostat, allows me to adjust my Heat/AC to a specific sensor, without needing additional equipment. I keep mine adjusted to my children’s room, as our 1970s house doesn’t have a balanced heat/cooling dispersal.

    Took a couple of minutes to set up. Really helps keep the temperature upstairs in my place a little more consistent. No more waking up sweating at night. The Nest thermostat will let you switch between the main thermostat and another thermostat sensor such as this one. I'm very happy with it. Haven't really thought about it since I mounted it to the wall and I think that's how it should be. No hassles. Just works.

    Overall, a great product! Just wish it had a “motion sensor” built in. Otherwise, it’s great. After programming it, solves many issues having only one Nest Thermostat on the main level of a three story home in Potomac, MD. Gave (& installed it) into my mom’s home to help regulate the bedroom temperature overnight. Happily, it works like a charm... but truly wish it had a internal motion sensor (like other brands in this increasingly competitive marketplace), so the system would better know when she’s in the master bedroom at night! Happily though, it works very well with the Nest thermostat without it!
