They are optional so you don't have to use them if you don't want but they let you place the wireless sensor where you spend most of your time so the thermostats are doing their job based off of where you are vs down the hall where the temperature is likely different. Change the batteries and they are good to go.

+1 to this. My office is full of tech equipment and gets hot as shite compared to the rest of the house. When I'm working in there the motion detector picks me up and the thermostat compensates for that room. I also have one in the living room near the kitchen which helps during cooking.

Everything y'all have said is all well and good but waiting for my fiber kit to arrive to hook up my internet and servers and learning how to configure all the nuances of a thermostat were at the bottom of my priorities.

I just needed the damn thing to work and it didn't because it was "too smart for me"

As for the prior owner settings you missed the part where i factory reset it and it turned on that eco shite by default as well as a default schedule that can't be deleted and the stupid hidden sensors low battery alerts can't be dismissed from the "windows has crashed" white screen even though I have the app now on my phone and dismissing the notification there does nothing to the units.

I still have to get up and walk over to it and physically dismiss the white "windows has crashed" screen only for it to come back 15 minutes later.

Nice.

Stupid shite is stupid. I've been looking at white screens on the thermostats 75% of the time since I've moved in. That should go away when you dismiss the notification on your phone at least.
