Not useless. The thermostat is typically located somewhere that you may not spend most of the time at home. So that temp may differ in different rooms. So these units help maintain the temp in those rooms that don't have the thermostat like my office. VERY helpful!

I have two of these. One in the office and one in the bedroom. Since the bedroom is on the other side of the house it's great for keeping that room the temperature I want when sleeping. These do have two drawbacks to consider though.
- They only work with the more expensive nest learning thermostat (or the older "e" if you have one.
- You can't set the exact times you want these to take over. The nest app has morning, evening, midday, and night and you can choose to have the main thermostat or sensor control the temperature for each time.

Love it and hate it;

Work wonders but if the power goes out you have to reset the main thermostat(s) and then re-pair the stupid sensors.
I haven't had that experience

I have a couple around the house and they are nice. They not only give you the temperature but it will tell you in the app if that area generally runs hotter or cooler than where the thermostat is located. The only thing I wish they did too was measure humidity.

Good price, pretty useless product.
I use mine extensively. I have one in my basement which tracks about 7 degrees cooler. When I have guests over I can set the thermostat to follow that sensor to keep it more comfortable. I also have one outside my kids room which is typically 1-2 degrees cooler than my room. We have the thermostat set to their sensor to make sure it doesn't get too cold or hot as well.

Not being able to afford heating costs is very much a timeless problem.

I have one of these in my office and one in my bedroom - very helpful to show the difference in temps in those rooms vs the thermostats. CR2 batteries last maybe 2-3 years - so keep this in mind.

I have a 3 zone system. Wouldn't you need a zone system for these to work? I have basement, first floor, second floor. Trying not to be dumb but if you have a single zone system there is no way to control the dampers room by room?!? Maybe I am misunderstanding the product. I will go to the library to figure this out. I mean Google.

Care to expand upon that opinion? I was looking into these since my kid's room runs colder in the winter, but don't want to spend money on something that's useless. Thanks in advance.
It's not useless at all. Got one of these when my kid was around 1 year old. His room is always like 3 degrees warmer than where thermostat is. Wife says he's sensitive to temperature so I got her one of these. Game changer. No more monitoring his room temp/making thermostat cooler etc. highly recommend it for this use case

I have 6 of these. I use them to both control specific, occupied, rooms AND to monitor the differences in temperature between them. Being I mainly occupy one room at a time, I schedule it to cool the rooms I frequent at those times of day, not the main thermostat which is in an area that is always empty.
Why not just find out which room is hottest/coldest and go from there? Seems pretty wasteful to have 6 of them.

It just reads temperature and will start/stop the system the same as your thermostat does, but instead using the temperature at the sensor and not at the thermostat.

It does NOT replace having a thermostat- so if you have a multi zone system then I would assume you need a thermostat for each zone.

I just measure temperature every once in a while and balance out the dampers - I also put the ac/heat up/down if need to compensate for another room.

Dumb question. I have split units, so it wouldn't work with it but I also have a heating system with moving heat. I have a smart thermostat that controls the heat on it.

Can I use these and a google learning thermostat to control the heat only with the moving heat system?
