the sensors did go on sale last year at this time which is when i picked up a set. better deal last year. 50% off. but since the sensors never seem to go onsale otherwise it's a good deal.

I suppose the deal is on new sensors that are somehow better, so maybe the price difference is justified?

Their site says:

Improved sensor technology

Now with better range and accuracy, and up to five years of battery life.


That may be worth something, especially if someone got a Lite kit with one or two less sensors?

Time for me to google if there is some way to get my proprietary Carrier system working with a Nest/Ecobee.

And again, time to be disappointed.

It should be possible. The Ecobee installation instructions I had were manufacturer agnostic. I just had to connect their adapter to the wiring inside the AC/furnace because (if I recall correctly) it did not have a "B-wire" running up to the thermostat location.

I have a proprietary "communicating" thermostat.

I may be able to rewire directly from the EIM, but I haven't looked into it yet.
