Wyze Room Sensor

Wyze Room Sensor is a Bluetooth-enabled thermostat sensor that detects temperature, humidity, and occupancy with a minimalist display. Minimizing hot and cool spots in your home is the main purpose of the sensor, unlocking the full potential of your Wyze Thermostat. With sensors placed in the rooms that matter most, your thermostat will make sure the temperature stays balanced and comfortable throughout your home. 

Ideally, you want to place the sensor in a high-traffic room about 5 feet off the ground for the best occupancy detection. If you have spots in your home that you feel are generally warmer or cooler than the rest of your home, those are also good places for Wyze Room Sensor. 

Wyze Room Sensor detects temperature, humidity, and occupancy in a space, then reports those readings to Wyze Thermostat via Bluetooth. For occupancy detection, the sensor uses infrared technology to detect body heat signatures–not just motion detection. The more time you spend in front of a particular sensor, the more weight your thermostat assigns to that sensor’s readings.

This feature lets your sensor detect which rooms are occupied, and will take the average temperature between the room and the thermostat’s reading. Your system will work to match your set temperature to this average temp. And in the Wyze app, you can assign the sensors to specific modes (Home and Sleep) so the sensor works when your thermostat is in the selected mode.

How it works: You have 3 rooms with 1 room sensor in each room. When 2 of the 3 rooms are occupied, the thermostat and the 2 sensors temperature readings will be averaged.

Another example: You have 3 sensors with one in your main bedroom. You can set this sensor to activate only when the thermostat is in Sleep Mode, while the others remain in Home Mode. A quick trip to the fridge at night won’t change the temperature of the other rooms.

Wyze Thermostat can support up to 6 room sensors. If your home has multiple stories, place at least one sensor on each floor. 

• Do place the sensor indoors.

• Do place ~5 feet above the floor facing the entire room.

• DO NOT place behind furniture or doors.

• DO NOT place in direct sunlight.

• DO NOT place near the heat sources like TVs, cooktops, or fireplaces.

• DO NOT place the sensor near windows or doors.

• DO NOT place above the air vents.

• DO NOT place the sensor on or near metal surfaces.
