The Ecobee Lite is a smart thermostat that is more advanced in heating and cooling your home than the average thermostat. This is all thanks to their accompanying sensors, which help add coverage to monitor different areas of your home.

The Ecobee Lite now works with SmartSensors, so the two can go hand in hand. The two devices are compatible and can work together to give you all-around coverage within your home.

The Ecobee Lite works with sensors to make it a lot easier for you to control the temperature throughout your home. Continue reading to learn more about using the Ecobee Lite with sensors and how to connect the devices. 

Can Ecobee Lite Work with Sensors?

If you have the Ecobee Lite thermostat and are wondering if you can add sensors to your home to get the two to work together, the answer is yes—as long as you’re using Ecboee’s SmartSensors. The two devices can easily be set up with one another.

According to Ecobee Support, the Ecobee Lite was not initially compatible with the SmartSensors. However, Ecobee quickly adjusted and, in turn, made the two devices compatible with one another.

The Ecobee Lite is considered the central unit where all of the information and settings can be accessed on the thermostat. You can even adjust the temperature from your smartphone device, giving you all-around control. 

When you add the SmartSensors, you create even closer accuracy to getting the perfect temperature within your home. The sensors can be placed in any room of the house and communicate with the Ecobee Lite thermostat to inform it if the temperature should be adjusted in that specific room based upon certain criteria.

Can Ecobee Lite Work with Other Sensors?

The Ecobee Lite does not work with any other brand’s sensors. For your sensors to work with the Ecobee Lite, they must be the SmartSensors produced by Ecobee.

This is because the Ecobee Lite only has the capabilities and software to sync with other Ecobee products. Continue reading, and you will learn that while connecting the thermostat and sensors, you will need to scan a QR code to pair them, meaning they each need to be a product of Ecobee and have a unique code to connect.
