ecobee 2-Pack SmartSensor for Doors and Windows, White

Expensive and for full use need the monthly subscription. The motion sensor function isn't accessible form the ecobee app (which also if shamefully inadequate missing granular controls such as wait or reset time). I will never again consider ecobee kit. Their thermostat is equally shameful for ceee cost.

The sensors do work well. However, the thermostat does know when the windows or door are left open, it just doesn't shut itself off without a subscription. I don't need the security system as I live in a secure building. I didn't realize you needed the subscription for the thermostat to shut off. Ecobee, you need to change how you advertise these sensors. Very disappointed. If you are trying to save energy, this should be included without paying a subscription.

The setup and operation were very simple but you can't turn it off by a schedule. So you have to manually change it from "Disarmed" to "Arm-Stay" if you want motion and contact sensors active at night. Geolocation can change it from "Disarmed" to "Armed Away" just fine and honestly works better than Arlo but without the contact sensors kicking on automatically at night it's useless.

Subscription required to put your A/C in hold. But wait here's the fun part… your system will still turn on in hold the whole time. So much for savings. My unit was still kicking on, on a day that was nice and I trusted the sensors putting my unit in hold. Thinking it means not to turn on. Thankfully it wasn't much but these sensors are a complete waste. Hold apparently still means your system runs I guess. Make the sensor turn the unit OFF not in hold if it's still going to run! Here is it “saving me money” while my door sensors said open. It waited until I fell asleep to run too! I work nights and will leave my windows and door open on nicer days. I typically turn off the system myself. Apparently I will still have to do that. After this disaster of a first test.

Installed to system about a month ago for our VRBO condo, primarily chose this one for the door sensors ability to shut off the AC/Furnace if a door was left open for 5+ minutes. This feature works great, the issue is that there is a override button on the controls panel that does not require a code to reactivate. This means that anyone can just walk back to the thermostat and continue to cool/heat the outdoors. If there was a way to require a PIN to reactivate it would be much better. All other features are top of the line.

I'm really disappointed in this product. The ecobee thermostat and temperature sensors integrate with both Google Home and SmartThings. These integrate with nothing. They are essentially useless unless you buy their monitoring service. You're better off buying a cheap door sensor from monoprice.

Sleek looking sensors but are pretty much useless without the subscription. Would think there would be a feature to turn off the hvac when a door or window is open for X amount of time. Also no integration into smartthings. The green led is a waste of battery power.

Buyer beware, Ecobee are having delays rolling out the software update needed for these sensors, I purchased the sensors and am told it could take several weeks until the software is pushed to my thermostat, sounds like the software roll out it lagging behind the hardware roll out.

I picked this product because I wanted a way to turn off my AC/heat if the door to my patio was open. I assumed that this sort of feature would be built in out-of-the-box, since the advertisement does say it ties in with the thermostat, but even if it wasn't, based on ecobee's previous track record, I assumed I'd be able to build that feature myself in either SmartThings or IFTTT. I was disappointed to find out that this feature isn't supported, nor is there any external app integration, and if you don't have the Ecobee security system, pretty much all it does is tell you in the ecobee app if your door is open or not. Which has made this a pretty expensive useless device in my scenario...

I have an Ecobee thermostat that I live, I purchased another for my daughter's house. It came with a door sensor but I was disappointed that it won't work with SmartThings and would not notify you unless you get the paid subscription, it's a shame it won't integrate with anything else, as I like the Ecobee's quality but I wouldn't expend the extra money for this sensor while I can purchase 4 of a different brand (that integrate with my set up) for the price of the Ecobee's two pack sensor plus a paid subscription
