Thumbed up, OP. Best price so far according to CCC but still too expensive IMHO. I have nest thermostat already and these sensors are only useful for folks who already own the nest thermostat. With a niche market this is actually quite pricey.

I really wish it would let you set custom time schedules too. Not everyone goes to bed/gets up at the same time.

Didn't Office Depot have these for about $10 a few weeks ago?

This is a huge oversight on googles part. I simply don't understand this.

Yep, clearance YMMV in store. Missed out on that, so I guess I'll keep waiting and hoping they'll have something similar down the road.

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"
