Just a heads-up, these do NOT work with regular Nest thermostats. If I remember correctly these require either "E" or "Learning" type. Found that out the hard way. Make sure your Nest thermostat model is compatible before purchasing.

Do these work with the new 4th gen?

And are there any differences between the old sensors and the new?

Yes, they work with the new gen "learning". The new pucks have humidity abilities, these do not.

I don't think the 2nd gen detects humidity.

I switched over to Alexa for a lot of smart home stuff because there's more support from third parties. I can use any Alexa smart thermometer to adjust the temperature of my thermostat.

is there a hard limit on how many sensors you can add on 3rd generation thermostat? I already have 1 sensor and thinking to add 2 more ( = 3 external sensors + 1 in-built to thermostat) and not sure if nest will allow.

The maximum number of Nest Temperature Sensors that can be associated with a compatible Nest thermostat is six, and the total number of sensors per home is 18:

I have the dumbest question...the Nest already seems to know the temperature of the room. What does this accessory add? Perhaps it's because I don't have central air and each of my Nests is hooked up to its own HVAC unit? I do want to make the Nest more accurate (have learned to undershoot how cold I want it), so if this accomplishes that, it would be worth it.

It allows you to gauge the temperature away from the thermostat and use that as the main point of reference for the thermostat.

It's only really useful if you have central air, or maybe a very large room.

And in your case, you can probably replicate what it accomplishes by using household routines based on your various thermostats.

I thought about this for winter when my room gets colder than other rooms, but if you get 2 of these and put them in different rooms, how do you set them up? For example if there is a greater fluctuation, maybe I put one in kids room and one in bedroom, I want my bedroom to be 65 but if kids room gets colder quickly and I set theirs to 65 too, it will still fire the heat and my room will get hotter just to make their room 65. Can I set a range like don't make their room go below 65 but don't make room hotter than 68? That seems very difficult and confusion to me. Maybe these things are good for just 1 remote sensor.

You can only have one sensor active as the primary at a time and the sensor schedule is broken up into 4 segments of 6 hours each.

It's very convoluted for the reasons you describe, but also because Google hasn't made these sensors available as a starter for household routines.

If you opt into the public preview in Google Home, they've started to allow you to create routines programmatically, so you might be able to do what you're talking about through that.

However, there are definitely third party sensors that can be used as starters, so you might have an easier time with those.

Alternatively, you can invest in smart vents. They aren't cheap, but they seem like they'd be more effective.

Thanks for confirming what I thought was complicated situation. My heating is hot water baseboard. Not sure about smart vents, but for now I probably would stick with what I have, unless I can get more zones added at some point in the future. I was considering ecobee but after I got Nest Learning thermostats for pretty low price from my power company, I decided to just go with these. I have 3 zones of heat, and always wanted to get a remote for certain areas, but even for 1 zone just for the basement maybe (where my little workshop is on other side and is always colder, because thermostat is near the furnice) I think this could help, definitely.. hoping the range is good, but too bad I missed the sale.
