ecobee Smart Sensor 2 Pack for Home 2-pack 🏠

This small wireless sensor tells your ecobee smart thermostat when a room is occupied and reports temperature from up to 60 feet away, helping the system balance comfort and energy use in different areas of the home. It is useful for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where temperature varies during the day and night, and it can also send motion alerts when smart security is armed.

Key Points

Place the sensor at least 5 feet above the floor on its included satin steel stand or mount it on a wall with the adhesive mounting brackets. The device communicates through walls and floors to the thermostat, so it can monitor rooms that are not adjacent to the main unit. According to the manufacturer, the sensor helps the thermostat make more accurate heating and cooling decisions by detecting occupancy and local temperature, which can reduce unnecessary conditioning when rooms are empty. The sensor is battery powered and installs quickly without wiring, making setup straightforward for most smart home configurations. Note that motion alerts for security require an ecobee Smart Security subscription.

Benefits

Using separate sensors around the house lets the thermostat focus on the rooms that matter most at any given time, improving overnight comfort and reducing energy use during daytime absences. You can view room temperature and occupancy from the ecobee app and adjust settings for specific zones. The magnetic, wireless design keeps the sensor discreet and easy to reposition if you change furniture or repurpose rooms. Also, the motion detection adds an extra layer of awareness when the smart security feature is active.

Usage Recommendations

Install the sensor on a stable surface or wall at the recommended height to avoid false readings from drafts near the floor. For bedrooms place the sensor where it can monitor the sleeping area rather than directly next to heating or cooling vents. If you plan to use motion alerts, confirm that the ecobee Smart Security subscription is enabled according to the manufacturer's terms. Consider rotating sensors between rooms during different seasons to refine comfort and savings across the whole home.
