WHAT ARE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS?
Even the smartest thermostats have a drawback—they only know the temperature of the room they’re in. Thermostats are often located in hallways, which might not be the same temperature as your living room, bedrooms, or kitchen. But Alarm.com temperature sensors change that.
After installing sensors on your interior walls, they’ll communicate wirelessly with your thermostat, updating it with room-by-room temperature readings. Through the app, you can select which sensor you’d like to target, like the kitchen or office, and choose your ideal temperature. The thermostat will then cool or heat the house until the room feels comfortable. In Texas, where days can range from stifling-hot to brisk, temperature sensors make smart thermostats more accurate and useful.
AUTOMATED ALERTS THROUGH SENSORS
Whether you’re home or away, Alarm.com can notify you if certain rooms become too toasty or chilly. If you’re not home, checking the sensors before you head on the road home will let you remotely adjust the thermostat to prepare a comfortable living space for your arrival.
PRECISE COMFORT ALL DAY
The Alarm.com app’s scheduling tool makes it simple to create a customized HVAC schedule to match your routine. For instance, in the morning, you can set the kitchen sensor to control the thermostat. But in the evening, an upstairs bedroom sensor can take control for a night’s sleep that’s not too hot, not too cold.
