Honeywell home seems to have the same unit for $102. Just purchased one from Honeywell directly and a second one from the utility for $49 based on an instant rebate.
Thanks for posting about this unit, would not have noticed the sale.
With a central HVAC setup, what do the room sensors do?
In a setup without room sensors, the HVAC would need to wait for the area where the thermostat is to reach a certain threshold for it to kick in, but with room sensors, it's able to kick in sooner as it's sensing thresholds in multiple different area?
If you leave ceiling fans running on low all the time to circulate air and keep temps even throughout the home, do the sensors add any benefit?
One room of my home gets blasted by the afternoon sun, therefore it's significantly warmer than the rest of the home in the summer time (like average 4 degrees warmer). If I have guests staying there, they will keep the door closed and the problem gets worse fast, as that warmth doesn't get recirculated into the home forcing the A/C to cool it better.
I had the HVAC company install a "damper" (I think is what it's called) to reduce the flow of one area which, in theory, should increase the flow to another area. This was done to try to improve the amount of air being pushed into that warmer room. Its only made a small difference. What do folks recommend for this?

My understanding with the T9 and T10 Honeywell/Resideo is that you can set which rooms/sensors have the priority temperature or you can choose to average multiple sensor temps and operate based on that average instead of a solo location reading. In theory, that should balance the temp somewhat especially if the main thermostat is in a particularly cold or warm location.

A two zone system. So needed two separate thermostats. 2nd unit purchase through the electrical utility.company purchase portal at a significant discount immediately.

You need to put in a return in that room to suck out the hot air. This will improve circulation and even out the temperature.
