Questions and Answers for ecobee Smart Sensor 2 Pack- Comfort, Security, Energy Savings- Smart Home- Compatible with ecobee Smart Home Thermostats

A:  Yes, they come with both wall mounts and stands.

A:  Yes! See the mounting instructions when pairing in the ecobee app.

A:  Short answer is yes they can. Pull the tab on the back and there is a piece of double sided tape to stick them to the wall. Had them for about a year and they are still there. 

A:  Yes!

A:  Perfect way to round out the ECOBEE! Gives perfect temp in every room. I’ve had homes with both ECOBEE and NEST, but would always choose ECOBEE!

A:  Ecobee system will give you a warning everytime the temperature goes below 50. You might need to get a second system for that.

A:  I believe you could do that since you can add to any floor. It gives the temp of all sensors at any time so you could check it. Not sure how a warning would work just for one sensor but it might be possible.

A:  Great question! ecobee SmartSensor is designed for indoor use and has an operating temperature of −31° to 113°F (−35° to 45°C).

A:  Yes. I have programmed the following alerts: Low temperature (<50 degrees F) High temperature (>92 degrees F) Low humidity (<20%) High humidity (>70%)

A:  Hi Marc! SmartSensor is designed for a battery life of up to 5 years. You will receive an alert on the smart thermostat and ecobee app when the battery is low. It sounds like we need to take a closer look at your SmartSensor if you are having an issue with battery life so quickly. Please send an email to support@ecobee.com so we can make this right. Always happy to help!

A:  So far mine have been fine.

A:  Yes, one of mine came with a very low battery, and the other won’t connect, so it’s probably got a dead battery as well.

A:  Yes! You can customize your SmartSensor participation when setting up your Comfort Settings and Schedule. Learn more, here: https://support.ecobee.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025406171-What-are-Activities-and-Comfort-Settings-

A:  Kind of. It takes the average of sensors participating and follows the regular schedule. So if you wanted to monitor just one room, you would have to turn off participation of all other sensors during that period, which you can do.

A:  So much better than the previous version . Wall mount that comes with it is super helpful.

A:  Hi there! ecobee SmartSensor is desiged to work with a single CR-2477 battery. They can be readily found in most hardware stores as well as from online retailers. We do not recommend using a different type of battery.

A:  I would consult Ecobee

A:  Absolutely! Our all-new ecobee SmartSensor works with all ecobee smart thermostats.

A:  Not really sure of the method, but I can verify that it CANNOT tell that a room is occupied when everyone is sleeping soundly.

A:  We have cats and occasionally it thinks a bedroom is occupied when it’s just them but it isn’t an issue. The sensors (when enabled based on the comfort setting) are used as an average. You can disable them for certain periods to compensate.

A:  The sensors don't recognize people sleeping. So they probably rely on motion, not heat.

A:  SmartSensor uses a single 3-volt CR-2477 battery.

A:  CR2477 coin battery

A:  Uses CR2032 that can be found in all stores that sell batteries.

A:  Uses the smaller flat watch type batteries CR2032... the batteries usually last several months before needing changing, but that can vary on the activity in that particular room.

A:  A battery similar to the ones used in a watch or car fob remote.

A:  The battery is a CR2477 3V. Not proprietary.
