ecobee Smart Sensor 2 Pack - Comfort, Security, Energy Savings - Smart Home - Compatible with ecobee Smart Thermostats for Home

The Ecobee smart room sensors provide the thermostat with a window into the climate status within areas of your home that wouldn't normally be controlled. For instance, if you place it in an office, you can see the temperature in the office in the Ecobee app. You can name the sensors whatever you'd like. The thermostat calculates the average temperature throughout the home using these sensors. It then uses the result to determine how much or little to control the climate in that room in order to keep it within the range set at the thermostat.In addition, it can tell if someone is using the room where it's located in order to save power. Not in the room? Ecobee disregards the averaging feature for that room. Once someone enters, it begins again.They're very easy to use. There is no need to turn them on or off. They are extremely sensitive and reliable, and they have a very clean design.

These sensors are awesome, and accurate. One is in my fridge, and my Exobee thermostat app displays the temp; it was hard to find a sensor that would work inside the refrigerator! All my sensors display on the app. Love it.

Super quick & easy setup. Design is sleek. Apparently it sensors room activity to track, I didn’t know that. I wish there was an option to pick where the sensor mostly tracks that temp. Nest was able to do that. My upstairs is so much hotter than downstairs & it’s a constant battle to have the upstairs kinda cool. The box does have its own wall holder which has a sticky tape on the back of a magnetic foot stand to put on a dresser or shelf. The wall holder holds the device pretty tight, I can’t imagine trying to snap it off of the wall when needing to change the battery.

My apartment's management recently had new ecobee 3 Lite thermostats installed in all residents' apartments, which has been a game changer in terms of scheduling and comfort. Initially, I struggled with it properly cooling my home, mainly due to my apartment's layout – it's small but long and narrow, with extreme temperature differences between rooms. The bedroom gets a lot of afternoon sun, making it uncomfortably warm in summer, while the living room receives only morning sun. The thermostat is located in the hallway between these two spaces, which made temperature control challenging.To enhance the comfort in both rooms, I decided to invest in the ecobee sensors. So far, they have exceeded my expectations! They’re compact, which means I can place them without adding visual clutter to my space. Pairing them with the thermostat was a breeze, and I love the ability to assign them to specific comfort settings within the ecobee app. During the day, the sensor in the living room takes charge, and at night, the one in the bedroom kicks in, optimizing comfort where I need it most. I even opted not to include the hallway thermostat in my schedule since it’s not a space where I spend time, which gives me more control and customization.My only significant drawback, however, is the price. Even if I owned my home, I would feel uneasy about paying an extra hundred dollars for two small sensors. Since I’m renting, it feels even less justifiable, as I won’t be able to take the ecobee thermostat with me when I eventually move out. The sensors, while effective, seem overpriced for what they are, leaving me with a bit of buyer's remorse regarding the investment. Nonetheless, they have contributed positively to my comfort, which balances out some of my concerns. Overall, I’m pleased, but the cost is something to consider!

The media could not be loaded. I thought these sensors were going to be hard to set up but quite the opposite. Very easy.1. You should already have the ecobee app. When you open the app tap the plus sign..top left corner and follow the directions.I like the option to wsll mount or set them on a flat surface. The stands are magnetic and the units come with a battery.I set up for the sensors to follow me and sense when the room is occupied. I got these on prime days for $20 off regular price.Definitely recommend them.

Works as advertised. Easy to use and setup. Works well with the app and allows you to control the temp in whatever room you put the sensors and also include or exclude different rooms/sensors based on need. Would recommend

When I was swapping from another thermostat and security system to the Ecobee to consolidate some devices and get out of rising subscription fees, I kinda brushed these sensors off as unnecessary until I set up the one that came with the thermostat and started playing with the features. I now have five of them that are spread throughout my house and have them doing the “follow me” thing where it detects occupancy in a given room then averages that room’s temperature into the other active sensors to keep the living spaces comfortable. I have a couple rooms that are usually quite a deal warmer or colder than the others and trying to target them at certain points of the day has led to other rooms being uncomfortable to accommodate. Not so with this setup. The temperature still varies from room to room but these do an outstanding job of preventing me from having to manually fiddle with the thermostat. I might grab a couple more to outfit my remaining rooms.I also like that it is natively imported into HomeKit so I can build additional automations if I want.
