    This product is perfect for larger or multi level houses using single HVAC Units. It can ensure certain rooms get to preferred temps. You may be surprised the actual temps of rooms and the differences within the same household. I use 2 in addition to my Gen 3 Nest Thermostat.

    I set up one of the thermostats in the living since it felt like the temp was always off somehow. The nest always displayed warm temps in the hallway, but it always felt cooler. Now I have proof. This thermostat shows that the living room is always up to a couple of degrees cooler. Now I set the schedule to use this thermostat during the morning, day, and evening while using the nest built in one at night. This way it doesn't get too warm at night.

    Solved Uneven Heating in Home

    The Google-Nest Temperature Sensors in 4 different rooms of my home alleviate the common problem of cold rooms on a regular basis. So, with 4 different sensors in the 4 major areas of my home that I use daily, I am assured that each room area is heated to the temperature I desire when I'm normally using the room. Good concept and product engineering!

    Our Learning Thermo is on the other side of the house and our main bedroom gets plenty of sun. This helps keep us comfortable without having to set the thermostat down. Plus with the Hub, am able to adjust from reading the thermostat or this sensor depending on where we are in the house.

    I love seeing the temperature in each of the kids rooms, and I like that you can make it the primary controller for different times of the day. I almost only gave 4 stars because you can only divide the day in thirds, and not do it by the hour, which I think is an update Nest needs to incorporate soon, but it's a huge step in the right direction. We use them daily.

    Works just as advertised. I use it on my 2nd floor bedroom to control the temperature in the house due to the thermostat not being in an ideal location. It was easy to connect to my nest app as well.

    Bought this to add to my growing collection of temp sensors around the house. I now have one in all the unpredictable temperature zones in my house. Now all I have to do is pop open the Nest app and I can see at a glance the temps all through out my house. It helps me save on my heating/cooling as well as gives me peace of mind that my animals at home are staying comfy while im the office.

    Outstanding!! Stop looking and buy this for your Google Nest. We use this to balance out the temp in our home during all year around. During the summer and winter the kids bedrooms are hotter/cooler than the thermostat in the hallway. This device allows make sure our kids are not too cool or hot through the year.

    This item works great. I placed it in my child's room. It is like adding another thermostat for a fraction of the cost. As long as it is within range of your nest, it will act as a thermostat in the other room. You can select on the app which item you want use to control the temperature. An amazing addition to your nest system.

    As part of my smart home, I really like how the Nest temperature sensors give the ability to monitor temperatures elsewhere in the home other than just at the thermostat. As the season is transitioning to the heating time of the year, I’ve just determined that I need another sensor for my house (which I'm in the process of purchasing).

    I live in an old house. The temperature in the bedroom is either to hot to too cold at night depending on the time of year. By placing this device in my bedroom, I can set the temp of the bedroom at night. There are no wires to connect. The downstairs thermostat uses this as the goal temperature.

    My brother has been using the temperature sensors with his Nest Learning Thermostat. He has been extremely happy with the way they work, and I was excited to get these for my home. Unfortunately, I received them only to find out that they are not compatible with the older 2nd generation thermostats. Make sure that you have the correct thermostat before ordering.

    Due to the location of our new Google Nest Thermostat (hallway with no ventilation ducts) we purchased the Nest Temperature Sensor, to place in our living room. Sensor can be mounted on wall or simply placed on flat surface. No installation needed. We only had product for about 3 weeks. Hopefully, it will help lower our electric bill.

    I have a larger space that I needed to heat/air and the location of my Nest Smart Thermostat (gen 3) was accurately reading the temp in the hallway it was located - I preferred getting a temp reading from my master bedroom and purchased this unit which really works quite well and totally seamless.

    This product allows you to set you Thermostat to the area in which you set this up. so find the coldest or the warmest area of your home that you want to maintain your thermostat setting to and there you go. My sons' room is usually 2-5 degrees colder or warmer than the thermostat location. Remember never set up in direct sunlight

    Not much to say on this as it is an external sensor that only works with Gen. 3 Nest thermostats and the "E" model. It won't work with pre Gen3. Pairs up easily and provides an accurate temp. if you want it to be the primary temp to trigger the unit just have to set it as such in the app.

    In addition to adding a return duct to our master bedroom we first put the temperature sensor in the room which made a world of difference when your windows get direct sun all day and the nest thermostat isn’t getting a true reading of the room and just the hallway. Highly recommended for anyone who has a hot room

    The temp sensor extends my thermostat to heat and I'm sure would cool those areas that you know are not the right temp. Works great with the Nest Learning thermostat
