Indoor, outdoor, battery, plug-in, spotlight and floodlight cameras placed for a useful view of the area.

A thermostat does not have to rely on one hallway.

A separate room sensor can help the system prioritize the temperature where people actually spend time—such as a bedroom at night or a living room during the day.

ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium

Includes one SmartSensor that measures temperature and occupancy. Additional sensors can help manage hot and cold rooms, and ecobee supports scheduling around the rooms that matter.

Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen)

Includes one Nest Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) and supports up to six sensors. Choose the Learning Thermostat if room-sensor support matters; Google says the lower-priced Nest Thermostat does not support Nest Temperature Sensors.

“Dustin replaced 5 faucets for me, changed out a thermostat, and flushed our tankless water heater. He did a great job, was professional, gave me a great price, and I will definitely hire him again in the future!”
