By placing these sensors in different rooms, you can monitor temperature variations and adjust heating remotely to eliminate hot and cold spots.
Detect Occupancy with Wyze Sense Motion Sensor
Smart heating control is more efficient when it knows which rooms are occupied. The
Wyze Sense Motion Sensor detects movement to help prioritize heating in active areas.
- Detection Range: Up to 25 feet with a 120° field of view.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Customize detection sensitivity to suit your home.
- Battery Life: Up to 18 months on a single battery.
- Installation: Easy adhesive back or screws for secure mounting.
- Compatibility: Works with Wyze Sense Hub and Wyze Home Monitoring.
Using motion detection, your heating system can automatically adjust temperatures in rooms where people are present, saving energy in unused spaces.
Enhance Security and Control with Wyze Sense Entry Sensor and Keypad
While primarily for security, the
Wyze Sense Entry Sensor and
Wyze Sense Keypad complement your smart home heating by integrating with your overall home monitoring system.
- Wyze Sense Entry Sensor: Detects when doors or windows open or close, helping to prevent heat loss by alerting you if a window or door is left open.
- Wyze Sense Keypad: Allows you to arm or disarm your home security remotely, adding convenience and peace of mind.
These devices require the Wyze Sense Hub and work seamlessly within the Wyze ecosystem, ensuring your home is both comfortable and secure.
