I have had the
ecobee3 Lite (Dan recommended) for several months, but it has not been satisfying the primary reason for me purchasing it: having the current temperature being determined based on the temperature in a different room than the main thermostat. Even when "follow me" was turned on, the system would NOT turn on and off based on the temperature of the secondary sensor—even if it was the only room occupied.
I just changed the settings so that the sensor on the main thermostat is essentially inactive. Meaning that I unchecked the sensor on the main thermostat for "Home," "Away," and "Sleep."
I understand that I need not necessarily deactivate it for all three of those time periods, but is it correct that the only way to have the secondary sensors determine whether to turn on/off is to have the main sensor inactive during that time? (Until now, I assumed that the system
should not turn off until ALL the sensors reached the desired temperature. Instead, the system would just shut off when the desired temperature was met on the main thermostat.
