Google Nest temperature sensor - Nest thermostat sensor - Nest sensor that works with Nest learning thermostat and Nest thermostat E - Smart Home

Product Information

Allows you to talk to the Google Assistant, make calls, and with a Nest Aware subscription in certain regions, detect sounds like smoke alarms or glass breaking (if you have enabled that feature). Provide occupancy signal for home automation (such as Home and Away routines), if you've enabled the feature. Even if you have a multi-story house that has warm or cold spots, you might not want to use a Temperature Sensor. It all depends on where you spend your time and where the main thermostat is. No. There are no sensing abilities or motion detectors in the Temperature Sensors. They are designed to only read the temperature and let the main thermostat know what the reading is. They won't affect any smart sensing your Nest Thermostat might be set up to do in any way. Will using one save me money? On the Nest app: Tap on the Thermostat circle > Tap on the Settings cog in the top right > Tap on Home/Away Assist > Toggle Automatically use Eco temperatures on if you want to save energy automatically. If you have a zoned system, make sure you place your temperature sensors in the same zone as the thermostat they’re connected to. For example, if your thermostat controls the first floor of your home, make sure to place your sensor on the first floor.

At present, because the Nest thermostat only takes a temperature reading from a single location, it can play havok with a house that experiences large variations in heating. For example, your heating may not turn on despite an upstairs room getting cold, or if your Nest is in a colder part of the house then it may turn the heating on despite most rooms already being at a comfortable temperature.

 Compatibility 

Google’s connected-home devices may also contain additional sensors that monitor device operation. For example, internal device sensors can detect when a device’s battery is running low, when it’s overheating or other conditions that can affect the ability of the device to operate as intended. We’ve excluded sensors that collect only such diagnostic data from this sensors guide. In addition to enabling the features and services described, the data from the sensors listed below may also be used to perform device performance and diagnostic functions. Types of sensors, what they measure and examples of uses Type of sensor

Allows you to talk to the Google Assistant, navigate apps on your TV and provide voice input to apps. On the Nest app: Tap on the Thermostat circle > Tap on the Schedule tab at the bottom of the display > Tap once on the day you want to change a temperature or time in > Press and hold on the orange temperature icon you want to change > Slide up or down to change the temperature / Slide left or right to change the time. A likely culprit for the situation you are up against is that there may be warm or cold air that is making its way up behind the thermostat via the walls. So, the first thing to do is to make sure that there isn’t any draft there that could be affecting the device.

Types of sensors, what they measure and examples of uses

If you spend most of your time in a spot that's too warm or too cold you can put a Temperature Sensor in the room so your Nest knows it needs to adjust. If you're comfortable where you spend most of the time but another spot in your house gets too warm or too cold, you won't want one. You can't easily move your thermostat, but if you wish you could, a Temperature Sensor is probably for you. Do I have to have a Nest Thermostat to use one? These smart heating systems use internet-connected radiator valves to set the temperature in your home on a room-by-room basis. Does one of your flatmates prefer their room to be a toasty 21 degrees, while another likes theirs at a cooler 19? Systems like the Tado Smart Thermostat or Honeywell’s Evohome will adjust radiators accordingly to allow these different temperatures to be achieved simultaneously. Detect when the room is dark so that it can automatically turn on the Pathlight and Nightly Promise features. Emits ultrasonic pulses from the speaker to detect proximity of a user for a more responsive and proactive device experience, such as triggering the display of media or device controls on the device.
