About Ecobee SmartSensor 2 Pack, White
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
90% found the remote control convenient, however, 10% faced issues
For remote sensor installation, the central thermostat needs to connect to the Internet and communicate with Ecobee servers, even though the sensors only communicate with the local thermostat via RF data comms.
83% appreciated the energy-saving features
The sensor compensates temperature between floors, maintaining a great balance between different rooms of the house.
Our devices not only send temperature to the thermostat but also detect motion, which could save energy.
My gas bill was lower than previous winters when using a dumb thermostat with no sensors.
81% found it easy to install
Installing the two sensors was pretty easy from start to finish, taking about 30 minutes. I suggest that if you can see, you should be able to install the sensors in about five minutes or less each.
66% found it compatible with smart home systems
I installed 2 smart sensors, one in the kitchen and one in my great room. The installation was sort of easy. I scanned the device but nothing happened so I popped the batteries and entered the codes manually. We found the thermostat with no problem.
71% found it accurate, however, 29% did not
My HVAC run time is much shorter now and the air conditioner no longer overcools my apartment's main space.
The sensor displays a higher temperature than the actual temperature, causing the AC to run constantly and waste energy.
