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.

I found these sensors being little outdated. In home automation, you cant get reading of each thermostat or sensors separately. So cant use it with HA.

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.
Never had that issue

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.
What happens when you have one upstairs when it is warmer? Does your AC kick on and get to that temp, and thereby making the lower floor colder than desired? Wondering if this works better for 2 zone / ac cooling or heating.

How do these work? Do you need multi zone HVAC? Can a Nest really control a standard system room by room?

These are definitely not useless, but value may of course vary depending on your needs.

I use these to monitor and control temp in kid rooms (especially useful for newborns or infants). Also have one setup where our pets are kept when we're away - allows us to minimize heating/cooling costs but also ensure our critters stay safe.

I use mine for single zone control. But with these you can pick which room you base HVAC control on. Eg, during the day control the temp in my office downstairs but at night switch to my kids' bedroom upstairs.

This product doesn't make all room temps match, but allows you to better control the temp wherever you happen to be/want controlled at a given time.

Can I use these to trigger air circulation to auto balance temperatures between the thermostats/rooms?

If ∆ between thermostat and sensors >2f, run fan.

That would be the most obvious use case I can see. Since nest was acquired by Google everything's been amazingly dumb so I won't be surprised if they can't do this by default....but I'd love to be wrong as a consistently disappointed nest owner.

Technically yes. Which is why you'd set the temp upstairs higher than normal since it's probably already warmer than it is where the thermostat is. Once you see all the temps in Every room, you'll figure out how to schedule the thermostat temperatures.

If you want that level of control, Ecobee is a lot more flexible. Group different rooms, for specific times of day, switching at whatever time you tell it. Ecobee's biggest downside is that if you schedule monitoring of multiple rooms at the same time, it'll average all of them, so "bedroom+office at 68F" could wind up with 72+64.
