ecobee SmartSensor 2 Pack, White

Works great! Very easy to setup. Just found out that my music room and my sons bedroom are 1 degree cooler that other rooms in the house. Also works as room motion sensors and with Apple’s Home app for added security.

These sensors seem to be accurate overall but my biggest complaint is the polling intensity. I understand there is always a trade off between battery life and functionality but the “Follow Me” feature would be so much better if these sensors refreshed more frequently than every 15 minutes. I have one sensor in the kitchen, where we will quickly run in to grab a snack or drink but then go back downstairs. Because of this, the sensor always detects upstairs as occupied, even for short trips like I mentioned. Due to the layout of our house, no other room makes sense for this sensor or I would have moved it. Overall, I’m glad I got them as they help create a temperature average between our basement and upstairs for the thermostat to shoot for but I wish the polling intensity was adjustable

I love it! For the price I’ve paid and the value of the product, you can’t go wrong. So many features and the ease of installation and use couldn’t be any easier.

Pros 1. Gives feedback to thermostat regarding the temperature in another room and if that room is occupied. 2. Nice to see the actual temperature in the room the sensor is located (using the ecobee app). ConsL Sensor must ne placed in a location where it can “see” the room while avoiding electrons, sunlight, windows, etc.

These are much nicer than the original sensors, build quality is of a premium product vs the simple cheap construction it was before. Hopefully the new battery (unfortunately a less common size than the very standard cr2032) will last longer so requiring less frequent replacements. That’s the only downside is having to purchase different batteries. I’m not sure if they are more accurate or not but their price was the same as the previous generation and I wanted the wider scanning for movement since I put them in larger rooms.

I’ve had this product for years, and have been running three sensors for most of that time. My Ecobee came with one sensor and I added this 2-pack to get me to three. It is very useful to have sensors and be able to have the Ecobee use a sensor in combination or as the primary temperature source for my heating and cooling settings.See more
