Using Nest Sensor and Thermostat

[mattknip]

I am currently using the Nest Thermostat with great results. I also have a Nest Sensor which I want to use to read the temp in a room but DO NOT WANT to link it to the Thermostat to control temp; just want to have a reading in a different room (which I do not heat)...is this possible?

Yes, you can just use the sensor to monitor the temperature, but not to control your thermostat.

Thanks David! While I was told by Google it is possible, when I went through the process to set it up, it linked; so is there an article or link that is available for me to reference to accomplish the task?

Again, thanks so much for the help!

In order for the sensor to control your thermostat, you need to set a schedule or manually select a sensor for your thermostat to use. In your case, if you don’t do that, your sensor will still report a temperature to your thermostat, but it won’t control when your thermostat turns on or off.

During setup, I gather it will prompt you to choose a thermostat to associate it with, and you don't want to do that. I don't have a sensor myself and the help documentation on this doesn't exactly specify what you'll see settings wise unfortunately.

I also would have to see the temp curent also in the screen not the temp what is been set bout would be the best option now you have to press al the time to read out the measured temp 😞
