Community Reviews
Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium with sensors stands out for app control, Alexa features, and room-by-room comfort tuning. The sensors can help balance hot and cold spots, track occupancy, and switch between bedroom and living room settings, especially in homes with uneven temperatures or when traveling. Setup and scheduling matter, since the sensors mainly influence comfort schedules and placement can affect results. Reported drawbacks include disconnects, glitchy software, weak battery life on older sensors, and limited energy savings for some homes.
Common Questions (4)
Yes, the sensors can detect occupancy and feed a blended temperature into scheduled comfort settings, and they work well in homes with uneven temperatures or upstairs bedrooms. Manual temperature changes ignore the custom sensor targets, so the best results come from setting up a schedule and letting the thermostat run automatically.
Some units stay connected for years and only drop when the battery dies, but others report constant disconnects or poor sensor performance. Placement and interference can matter, and the sensors use 900MHz, so nearby interference may be the cause when they misbehave.
If you do not need remote temperature sensors, an Aqara Smart Thermostat is suggested instead. The ecobee's main advantage in these comments is the sensor-based comfort control, so the sensors are a key part of the value.
It may not noticeably reduce bills for everyone, but it is convenient for remote control and can help manage temperatures more precisely. It can also support utility energy-savings programs that offer gift certificates, such as signup and seasonal rewards where available.

FYI, if your power company participate in the energy savings program and you set it up you can get gift certificates for participating. Mine offers $50 just for signing up and $25 each season.

A zoned system would need separate thermostats for every zone. Just having a remote sensor would not work.
