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

Looks like a Nest Thermostat

That seems to be it. Thanks. Too bad that doesn’t seem usable without extensive wiring and is thus only an option for newly constructed houses.

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.
