Wireless Sensor HONEYWELL RedLINK 3.0 Indoor C7189R3002/U | Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore & North Shore

The home office is too cool in the morning, the baby's room overheats in the afternoon, and the thermostat, for its part, is installed in the entryway. The Honeywell RedLINK 3.0 C7189R3002/U wireless indoor sensor lets the thermostat give priority to the room that matters at a given moment. Sold individually, it measures temperature, humidity and motion, then sends that information wirelessly to the thermostat.

Giving priority to the right room

The principle is room priority. Instead of regulating the house based only on where the thermostat is located, the system takes into account the room you choose. With motion detection, compatible thermostats can also take occupied rooms into account. Heating and cooling then follow the people rather than a hallway wall.

Communication is over RedLINK 3.0, with a range of up to 200 ft. The signal passes through most building materials, so the sensor can be placed on another floor or at the other end of the house in the vast majority of homes.

Compatibility

This sensor works with T10+ Pro Smart and ElitePRO S1200, S1100 and S1000 thermostats equipped with RedLINK 3.0. It does not replace the classic RedLINK sensors for VisionPRO 8000 or Prestige thermostats, which use a different generation of communication. If you already own a T10+ Pro, this sensor is the most direct way to add a reference room.

One sensor or a set of two

The C7189R3002/U is sold individually. It's the right choice to add a specific room to an existing system, or to complement a T10+ Pro kit that already includes a sensor. If you want to equip two rooms at once, the C7189R3010-2/U set combines two sensors of the same generation.

Quick installation, thoughtful settings

The sensor runs on two AAA alkaline batteries and needs no wiring. Installation is quick; what matters is choosing the location carefully and configuring the priority. During our visit, we:

1. check that your thermostat is a T10+ Pro or a RedLINK 3.0 ElitePRO;
2. choose with you the room to prioritize and the sensor location on an interior wall;
3. pair the sensor with the thermostat;
4. configure the priority and check the temperature, humidity and motion readings.

Place the sensor away from supply registers, windows, electronic devices and direct sun. For motion detection to be useful, it must see the area where occupants move around.

Energy savings and winter comfort

During the Québec winter, temperature differences between rooms are often pronounced: a room above the garage, a north-facing office or an upstairs bedroom can be several degrees colder than the rest of the house. By giving priority to the occupied room, the thermostat heats where it's useful instead of raising the setpoint for the whole house. The sensor also helps reduce hot and cold spots in multi-storey homes.

The humidity measurement is another advantage in the cold season. Heated air becomes dry, which affects comfort, hardwood floors and musical instruments. When the thermostat receives the humidity reading from the reference room, you get a more accurate picture of the actual conditions in the house, beyond temperature alone.

Maintenance

Replace the batteries when the thermostat tells you to. A light dusting of the housing is enough. If you rearrange the room, make sure the sensor isn't hidden behind furniture or a curtain.
