All my sensors will say 32 degrees at least several times a day.

I have 2x Ecobee 4s with sensors in every room and they work excellent. There is some trial and error in getting everything set up correctly so that they follow you throrugh the house and average the correct rooms when running th ac/heat. The sensors can get wacky if paced near a vent, hot electronics/appliances or in direct sun (although the system warns us when something is off via email - our nanny or a guest moving one of them being the most often cause). The only issue we have is that our bedroom sensor does not always see us while sleeping and can let the temperature in the master bedroom fluctuate more than we like (on th end of the system).
In my case, have dealt with tech support 3 times.. they already sent me a new unit.. and 3 new sensors.

Nest Gen 1, flawless
Nest Gen 2, flawless

One Ecobee sensor completely took over my unit... was averaging the temps.. and overriding the main unit.

Specialist got on the line, says he's never seen it before.

All sensors in the right spot.

Wish I didn't sell my Nest. Lol.


Some things just are not meant to be.
