Remote sensor tips
Can I turn off the occupancy sensor?
You may want to sense temperature without tripping the
motion sensor. Select a location for your remote sensor
where it can sense the ambient room temperature, without
having a clear view of the room (turned away from the
room, or tucked behind your family portrait).
Storing your remote sensor
If you do not wish to use the remote sensor, delete it from
the ecobee3 sensors menu and disconnect the battery
before storing it. This will prevent the sensor from trying to
heat the inside of your storage closet!
Ideal locations
Have pets or curious children? To prevent your remote
sensor from being jostled or bumped off its stand, affix
your sensor to the wall using the adhesive or screw
provided, or simply place it out of reach.
