Nest thermostat sensors need to be able to be averaged and and customized according to ones needs.

I switched to this thermostat because I'm heavily invested in the Google ecosystem for my home. Nice thermostat and design but like most homes I need a thermostat to be able to save me money while also keeping my home comfortable. I bought a 3 pack of sensors to help regulate the temperatures in my home but I apparently cannot have my nest learning thermostat take an average of those sensors to set the temperature to. This is a huge oversight especially when I'm moving from ecobee where this is a standard feature.

The ability to custom schedule the sensors are also very important and frustrating that I do not have more control over. Not everyone's life revolve on the set schedule that Google has on the thermostat. So being able to average and then set that average or specific sensors to a certain time are MUSTS!!! 

This should be a relatively easily fix through a software update so PLEASE FIX!!!! Or if someone knows of a way to do any of this, please let me know. 

If Google is reading this, I'd like to express this in more detail but this is just a big oversight.

Thank you, I would also like to ask if I can use my nest hubs and maxes as activity/motion sensors to help regulate temperature as well. I think this would be a great and easy addition to add via software that could take learning on the learning thermostat to a whole new level.

Why is this still not a feature? This has been available with Ecobee for a long time.
