Hi everyone,

would anyone know what kind of device that is? Is it an AC remote? A humidity sensor? An air quality measurement? Or just a digital temperature sensor?

The picture is from the wall of a newly built house in Arkansas, so I suspect it has to do something with “smart home”.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers, Temperche

    Not necessarily true! If your home already has a thermostat, then nest has a website where you answer some questions and they let you know if it can be replaced with a thermostat. Only 4 wires are needed typically.

      Well, it doesn’t have one, I’m currently using Honeywell devices which communicate wirelessly.

        Wait.

        A WIRED thermostat is only an option for newly constructed houses? Dude you’re using a wireless one. You think wireless thermostats were invented in 1895 or something?
