Which Sensor - Pro or Reed Kumosensor / Battery Life (Nest thermostat Integration)

[CC YY]

I'm trying to decide between the Pro and the Reed Kumosensor. Looking to use it in tenant space -- so, I ideally would want longer battery life which the Reed seems to give.  Probably 30 minute check-in/logging and adjustment of thermostat (Nest).  But, I wouldn't mind a yearly battery change if the Pro is going to function better and more reliable for reporting back/adjusting the Nest in the long term.

The tags are likely going to be about about a combined (vertical + horizontal) 50-70 feet from the Tag Manager..

Can the tags be set for different temperature ranges throughout the day?

- battery life with 30 minute check-ins

- range

- nest integration and control

Thanks in advance.

I use the PIR in several of my apartments.  I set the nest on Business (This prevents the Nighttime Setback as I have shift workers) and allow the PIR Sensors to switch the Nest from Home to Away.  The problem I now have, is the Kumo App I was using isn't listed any more, I see nothing for Home/Away settings, confusing to say the least.  My next step is to tie place Reed Sensors on the windows and what not to keep the heat inside.

Hope this helps,
