Can I monitor temp without connecting to a thermostat?

[Cmccarty13]

I have a wine cellar in my basement and I'd love to be able to check the temp / get alerts in my Google home app rather than buy a 3rd party product with its own app.

Is it possible to set up a nest thermostat sensor purely to read the temperature but not have the nest thermostat try to adjust the temp? Ideal scenario, Id like to have an alert at a certain temperature too.

You could always buy a new/used thermostat, and just use that as a sensor. I have one in my conservatory where I can monitor the temperature, and an alert comes if a low reading shows.

Hi everyone,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

I suppose we can close it. The answer isn't ideal but it works.

Hi Cmccarty13,

Thanks for understanding. It looks like we can consider this one complete, so I will lock the thread shortly unless I can help out with anything else.
