You could...for me, my thermostat is in the hall, and we sleep with the door shut. The rooms get colder than the hall, so in theory, having the sensors average out the rooms should help run time and establish a consistent temp. I also disabled the temp sensor on the hall unit, so it doesn't matter what the hall says as far as averaging the temps.

It will also adjust the fan run time to help even out the temperatures. You can do this manually too, as I have mine set to run the fan a minimum of 5 min/hr. You could install smart dampers or registers to regulate airflow, but that's not really necessary. I do plan to use an Ecobee3 and a smart register to control airflow to a media closet, that way it's closed when the heater comes on.

Being able to set which sensors to average depending on the setting is nice. Bedrooms for "Sleep", living areas for "Home", etc. Vacation mode is also cool as you can schedule the departure and return times, set temps, and other features.
