Q: What does a smart sensor do?
A: The Ecobee Smart sensor allows temperature measurement in a location other than the main unit which must be attached to the wires that attach to the HVAC unit. Many times the main thermostat is in a hallway but the temperature in the hallway is different from your living room or bedroom. Put a remote smart sensor in either or both of these rooms to monitor those temperatures and feedback to Ecobee to control the HVAC. Note: remote smart sensor must be within about 30 to 40 feet of the Ecobe unit in order to communicate with it. The remote smart sensor does not have any wires so can be placed anywhere within this distance.
