As another use case, let's say your thermostat sits in a room where it gets direct sunlight all day. This may cause your AC to work overtime since it thinks the house is warmer than it actually is, wasting energy. This lets the thermostat have more accurate information about how the rest of the house is doing. Just a few examples of why you might choose to use the sensors.

I really wish it would let you set custom time schedules too. Not everyone goes to bed/gets up at the same time.
Yep. I was able to get the last one in my area. Apparently they may be phasing out an old model for a new one. But I would definitely buy a few more at $10. Still not happy at $30.
edit - looked at the link and these appear to be the new ones, as I understand it. they have the Google 'g' on them instead of 'nest'
I wish they would let you use different thermostats as sensors. We have two seperate systems for ac and zone heat, so we run multiple thermostats to control the zones for heat. In the summer, ac is the controller in one room, but we want other rooms to drive the temp. Solution is to buy sensors, but it's stupid when you literally have a fully functional TSTAT that is reading that data that should be able to cross talk.

They aren't even that useful to those of us with Nest thermostats. Seriously gimped by Google's decision to end the open API for Nest.
It would be trivial to have useful functionality like "run fan until upstairs bedroom is at 75 degrees starting at 3"
what's the point of 3?
