A:AnswerSeems kind of pointless if u cant control each zone seperatly. Sounds like they need to be matched with a automated register to control the amount of hot and/or cool into that zone/room. Otherwise you are heating and cooling parts of ur home you may not want to.
A:AnswerSure, but I want comfort in the master bedroom if that's where I'm sleeping. That's what the time zones are for - you can tell it to cater the temperature to your master bedroom during night time hours only, but the main living area during the day.
A:AnswerAt this time the Nest Temperature sensor can only be scheduled to take priority during certain times of the day, but doesn't have the ability to only take over if a certain temperature is met. With that said we'll be happy to send this up as a feature suggestion for you.
A:AnswerWhen the Nest Thermostat 1st Gen and the Nest Thermostat 2nd Gen products launched, they were designed without Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities and they run older chipsets with less memory and processing power than our newer thermostats. This accessory launch does not mean that first and second generation Nest Learning Thermostats need to be upgraded. They continue to help people save energy and stay comfortable, and they receive regular software updates just like the newer thermostats. They simply do not work with this specific accessory.
A:AnswerYes in the app one will be able to see the temperature of the thermostat and each attached sensor. Farsight will show the temperature from the sensor (thermostats built in or remote) that is currently set to control the temperature.
A:AnswerThe Nest app will display the temperature for the Thermostat and for the connected Sensors throughout the home. However, the humidity reading will come from the location the thermostat was installed.
A:AnswerThere is a number code on the back of it you can enter manually, just skip the scanning, enter manually and will connect. Need more help there is a YouTube video on installation that they go over on manual setups
A:AnswerThe Nest Temperature Sensor can work up to 50 feet away from the Nest Thermostat. The range can vary depending on your home’s construction, wireless interference and other factors.
A:AnswerHere are the tech spec from the Temp Sensor page:
Operating Temperature
32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)
Indoor use only
That said I doubt higher temps would physically damage it and being well out of the rain would likely cover the Indoor Use Only clause. The thing you may want to research is the impact of the high temps (or low temps if it gets below freezing) on the battery in the sensor. Good news is they are relatively inexpensive in the world of home control devices, so you could always try it and see. Temp ranges outside the 32-104 window are very likely to shorten battery life at a minimum.
A:AnswerSounds to me like you bought them for the wrong reason. They are for indoor use and supplement your Nest thermostat. Sounds like you were putting them outside. Or you like it really, really cold in your house. If you let your house get much below 44, you are risking your pipes freezing.
A:AnswerHi Johnny, thanks for the inquiry. The Nest Temperature Sensor is only compatible and requires an installed Google Nest Thermostat E and Google Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd gen). It connects to your 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat or Nest Thermostat E over Bluetooth Low Energy and has a range of about 50 ft (15 m) so it should work in most homes. This range can be reduced based on a number of factors including the number of walls between your sensor and thermostat, Use the Nest app to connect your sensor to your thermostat and change its settings.
A:AnswerThe sensors only work in conjunction with a Nest thermostat. To do what you are seeking, you may want to consider some other WiFi based technologies that should be mainstream by now.
