Remote sensor is important for me because its a large house and I’ve got the vents adjusted to give more cooling/heat to the master bedroom. But the thermostat is not in the master so its really difficult to dial in the proper temp so I have to get it up and adjust it when its too cold or hot. Sensor would fix the problem of measuring an accurate temp in the master while the Echo should let me adjust without touching a thing.
Downstairs unit, I don’t care about since its hardly ever used.
