- 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.

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.
Can I use these and a google learning thermostat to control the heat only with the moving heat system?
Not everyone could afford an extra blanket. Sheesh.
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
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.

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.
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.
Not everyone will but it's reported all over the Google forums

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.
