Pair with ecobee SmartSensor for balanced comfort
Place SmartSensor in your bedroom and say goodbye to those moments that are either too hot or too cold throughout the night. It works by using infrared technology to detect when a room is occupied and communicates that information wirelessly up to your thermostat.

By helping your smart thermostat better understand your household comings and goings, SmartSensor saves energy and saves you money by not heating or cooling an empty home.
