Temperature Sensors on the Thermostat page
By default, the HVAC system keeps the thermostat’s internal thermometer at a selected target temperature. With Temperature Sensors placed in different rooms around the home, the system is also able to detect the temperature in these other areas, such as an upstairs bedroom or downstairs den.

Note : If the thermostat is in Off mode, the Thermometer Icon (noted in the above image) does not display.
Direct Control: Using Temperature Sensors without thermostat schedules
Select one or more Temperature Sensors to directly control your HVAC system when there’s no thermostat schedule set.
When clicking Thermometer Icon, a window appears. From here, one or more Temperature Sensors can be selected. The HVAC system monitors the average temperature reported by the selected sensors and keep the average steady at the target temperature. For example, if the nighttime target temperature is 70 degrees, and all bedroom Temperature Sensors are selected, then the average of temperature across the bedrooms are maintained at 70 degrees.
Adding Temperature Sensors to thermostat schedules
Make thermostat schedules even more precise by assigning one or more Temperature Sensors to the Temperature Presets. For example, match the bedroom Temperature Sensor to the Sleep Preset, or the family room Temperature Sensor to the Home Preset. That way, the system is able to cool the right rooms in the house to the target temperature at the times they are in use.
To get started, click > Icon on the Thermostat card and then click Schedules . Schedules can then be edited from this page.
