Nest Thermostats (or Ecobee)

Greenr's new house has a single system, but two thermostats, one upstairs and one downstairs. Both are Honeywell Programmable but not Wifi and, TBH, I like to be lazy and have the wifi option.
Question is this, can you replace two thermostats with a single thermostat downstairs and a "room sensor" upstairs and accomplish the same thing, or do I need to replace two with two so I can control temps upstairs versus downstairs?
Greenr is being cheap and doesn't want to spend $400 for this upgrade.

I think I'd get that POS truck fixed instead. That, or hooker and blow.

Your post about your truck was talkin about it should and this and that. Never saw anything indicating it was fixed.
I DEMAND AN APOLOGY, GRINGO!

I paid the man and got her back.
Big Red is back in business, the truck, not a certain Jounger's wife. She may be too, I am just not sure about it.

Regular shack. Now I see why you need a thermostat. Pallets don't insulate as well as palm fronds, obviously.

Need to replace both thermostats w/ Nest...I recommend Nest, btw.
We also have the temperature sensor thingy for dawghater2toddler and then will be switched for future dawghater2baby to keep temps regulated in their room
I would do some digging on the home warranty that came w/ your house at closing. I was able to expense portion of the thermostat costs....also don't remember them being $200 a pop but I reckon that's inflation for ya.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the nest thing yet.

New house came with one.
I was all "this is cool I guess" until one day it freaked out and turned the heater on on its way to be 84 inside the house...on a 75 degree day. And then again later that night.
And then again, about 3 weeks later. When I came home that time, it was blazingass hot in the house.
I examined the "schedule" and found one entry in there it kept going back to and deleted it. Then about 2-3 weeks later, it freaked out again. I deleted and reset the whole thing and started all over again, and it hasn't done since then...but I'm watching it.
Closely.
And just the Nest app doesn't really control the whole thing. You really also need the google home app to completely control it..which seems stupid.

This was not a human interface issue.
Thing was/is(?) jacked up.
if it does it one more time, it will be a trashcan issue, because i'll go right back to a simple digital thermostat,

I get it that they are trying to integrate everything into the Google Home thing..but why not just go ahead and do it?
Thats some sloppy product management there

we're still using the nest app, b/c I'm a geezer at heart.
I think your issue is with the auto-adjustment feature. turn that part off...
sorry for poking fun man

for less but I am not sure it works with my system. The regular Nest is about $190 each on Amazon. I think retail is $250.
