Nest Learning - compatible sensors

[Bartzie]

Had a new HVAC put in.  Service provider installed a free Nest Learning - how excited.

Thermostat is in back hallway where there is very little foot traffic.

Nest continues to change to Away mode after 60 min.  I have it set up to use my phone to determine if I'm away, but from what I read the Nest sensor overrides the phone location if it doesn't sense activity - not so excited 

question -

Is there a secondary activity / motion sensor that is compatible with the Nest Gen 3 learning thermostat that I can put in the main room to get around this issue  a running the thermostat to the main room is cost prohibitive.

Hi Bartzie,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Google Nest Community.

Your Google Nest thermostat can automatically switch to Eco Temperatures after it senses that nobody’s home. You’ll know Eco Temperatures are active when you see Eco on your thermostat and in the Nest or Google Home app. You can also set Eco Temperatures when you are at home to help save energy.

You can switch the Eco mode off too. Check out this link to know more.

Regards,

Ryan
