Far-Field Sensor
The far-field sensor is an important part of the Nest Thermostat. It helps the thermostat to learn your schedule and adjust to the new environment.

If you move the Nest Thermostat to a new location, the far-field sensor will need to be reset. You can do this by pressing the Home button on the Nest Thermostat. The far-field sensor will then start the adaptation process again.

Why Choose a Smart Thermostat?
A thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of a space, such as a room or an entire house. Thermostats can be either manual or automatic.
Manual thermostats must be turned on and off manually, while automatic thermostats can be set to turn on and off at certain times of day or night. Smart thermostats are a type of automatic thermostat that can be controlled remotely via an app on a smartphone or tablet.
One of the benefits of using a smart thermostat is that it can help you save money on your energy bill. Smart thermostats automatically adjust the temperature based on whether someone is home or not. For example, if you typically leave for work at 8:00 am and return at 6:00 pm, a smart thermostat will automatically lower the temperature when you leave and raise it again when you come home.
This can help to reduce energy waste and lower your overall energy costs. In addition, some smart thermostats allow you to set different temperature profiles for different times of day, so you can have the temperature turned down when you’re sleeping or away from home during the day.
Overall, choosing a smart thermostat can help you save money by reducing energy waste and allowing you to better control the temperature in your home.
