ecobee SmartSensor 2 Pack, White

Good, but expensive.

I bought the ecobee Smart Sensor for Doors & Windows (2-pack) to add an extra layer of awareness to my home, and so far it has worked exactly as expected. Setup was straightforward through the ecobee app and only took a few minutes. The sensors paired quickly and were easy to mount with the included adhesive. They are small and discreet, so they don’t stand out on the door or window frames. Notifications are fast and reliable. I like being able to see when doors or windows are opened or closed, especially when I’m not home. I actually use the pair on two roll-up garage doors, which sometimes open randomly, and getting instant alerts gives me real peace of mind knowing I can check and close them right away if needed. Battery life has been good so far, and the app shows battery status clearly, which is helpful. Integration with my existing ecobee system was seamless and didn’t require any extra hubs beyond whatmy ecobee thermatstat. Overall, this is a solid and dependable product if you already use ecobee or are looking for simple contact sensors for home monitoring. It does what it’s supposed to do and feels well made.

These are easy to setup and pair quickly with your Ecobee system. No issues to date and have had them installed for over a year. Customer service with Ecobee has been top notch as well with trouble shooting other Ecobee products we have and had questions about.

I have a 2-story 2500 sq. ft. house and my thermostat is downstairs. I have the "Lite" version of the Ecobee thermostats and it was able to sense both sensors even though I activated them from my office upstairs. Easy peasy. They read the temperature perfectly and look aesthetically pleasing, however they are small enough that they could easily get lost or the kid could accidentally play with it. Keep them in a spot that's difficult to reach.

These have really helped my system. My thermostat is on a wall that is also the return duck going up into the attic. Because of this I have never had correct reading from the thermostat, and I have had two different ones. This one you can change the reading by setting a correction value but this still did not help me. In warmer temps it needed one setting and another in cooler. It was annoying. I got these and placed one in the kitchen and the other in the living room. What I found they do is communicate with the thermostat and they create an average temperature for the house. This has made the readings much more consistent and accurate. I am much happier now and was able to remove the temperature correction from the thermostat. They were extremely easy to set up. The are also small and do not stand out in the room. I have not had any issues with them not picking us up and detect motion well.

Really easy to connect and integrate in to the system. Would have been nice if they could also measure temperature as it would vastly decrease the number of sensors required.
