Google Temperature Sensor
Most homes aren't the same temperature in every room. With the Nest Temperature Sensor, you can let your Nest thermostat know which room should be the most comfortable. Just place it on a wall or shelf and get the right temperature, right where you want it. Requires a 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat. This compact sensor brings room-by-room intelligence to your heating and cooling, so comfort follows you as you move through your day. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the Nest ecosystem, delivering smarter climate control that adapts to your routines, rooms, and preferences. Whether you’re optimizing energy use, maintaining a consistent night’s sleep, or simply enjoying a more comfortable living space, this sensor puts precise, localized control in the palm of your hand. Small in size but big on impact, it blends with your decor while empowering your thermostat to act with real-room awareness in real time.
- Room-specific comfort: Place the sensor in the room where you spend most of your time and let the Nest thermostat prioritize that space. This enables more comfortable temperatures precisely where you want them, whether you’re relaxing in the living room, catching up in the home office, or winding down in the bedroom.
- Effortless placement and setup: A sleek, compact device that mounts on a wall or sits on a shelf. No wiring required—just open the Nest app, pair the sensor, and assign it to a room for instant room-by-room climate awareness.
- Smart energy optimization: By feeding accurate in-room readings to your Nest thermostat, the system can reduce energy waste. It cools or heats only where needed, helping you maintain comfort while supporting lower energy bills over time.
- Deep Google Home integration: Works seamlessly with Google Assistant and the broader Nest ecosystem, enabling automated temperature adjustments based on your routines, occupancy, and preferences for a truly connected smart home.
- Privacy-forward, battery-powered design: Battery-powered operation eliminates wires and reduces installation complexity while keeping data handling aligned with your Google Home privacy settings and security standards.
