kmonty2 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have a Nest installed on my main level, works great and I love it. I just recently finished my basement and I want some control over that furnace or A/C. I do have 2 Nest in the house, one for bedrooms and one for the main floor. Can I install a second one in the basement and connect it to the main level one so I can set the basement to a certain temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That is more a question about how your hvac is setup. Is the basement a separate zone? Separate hvac system?Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmonty2 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah, I guess it would be for HVAC. But now I did find out the Nest has a Temp sensor. Does anyone know if I can intergrade that into my project? Want to set up when basement TV is on, set Temp on the sensor to 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can program Control4 to start the AC once the TV is on and vice versa.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmonty2 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I get that. But I want to adjust the temp in the basement. My main floor furnace also heats the basement. The nest is on the main floor which may be 67 but the basement is only 62. The sensor can tell what the temp is and turn on the heat to get the basement to 67. Now in return the main floor may go higher then too, which is ok. So I need to get the senor into Control4, but it connects to the main floor therm by Bluetooth. Hope that clears some things up as to why I want to use the sensor. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmonty2 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 So I am going now to get the sensor. It should work cause it just uploads to the Nest cloud. So I am hoping to be able to see the temp in C4. If it works I will get one for my Kegerator so I can keep a eye on the temp inside that too. I will report back on what I find.

kmonty2 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Well the senors are able to be seen in C4. They are attached to a thermostat, and not a stand alone temp sensor. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejewishblt Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We’re you able to show the sensors in the different rooms since it is connected. I have sensors in other rooms to read temps but does not show in control 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
