I purchased the thermostat largely based on the remote sensors displayed in the Wyze promo of the product. Now, my thermostat is installed but I have lost functionality compared to my last smart thermostat which had remote sensors.
I cannot find anything about these devices. I really hope I’m not going to be disappointed, but it seems like Wyze may not producing these. Anybody have info on this?
Although I knew the remote sensors were “coming” is is annoying that I can’t install the thermostat yet without losing remote temp readings for the bedroom, kids room etc.
I am also VERY interested in adding sensors (3 actually) to have the system be smarter regarding which area at what time of day should drive the thermostat readings. @UserCustomerGwen, could you please give us some update on when that is planned for?
I also bought the thermostat (Actually I bought 2) based on the remote sensor being available. Been very happy with it , but feeling a bit crippled without the remote sensor and am wasting elec. energy since thermo is one room but another room needs to be used for setting the limits.
Seeing lots of new Wyze products announced but no mention of previous commits.
The Sense Climate Sensor just came out today, it only works with the security system, maybe the sensor for the thermostat won’t be long in coming. Unless these are the ones he was referencing, and the ones for the thermostat will be coming out later?
Aha, I think you’re right. There’s this other post where he specifies the room sensors for the thermostat, and says they’ll be coming by the end of the year.
So, interestingly enough, I got the sensors yesterday and installed excitedly, only to find that they do not actually have them integrated with the thermostat yet. The groundwork is there, as the app has the icon selectable and search is functional, but sensors are not detected…looks like work in progress…would be better if they actually spake with the customers about the timelines, or in a transparent way that was customer tangible maybe they could do a project map probably directly from their project board…not a stretch, just needs prioritization. I have long abhorred the way they show unavailable tech like it’s a sales point. They’re effectively monetizing before production. It’s actually unethical imo, but hey, it works. Anyways, an example would be the tech shown when you select the icon for adding a climate sensor to thermostat. It shows an image of a rad little remote device I can’t wait to be able to buy…
So, back to the issue, it seems it’s coming. I think we all agree…bring it!
