Motion sensor thermostats
Hi All, I have a vacation property that I'd prefer NOT to install a hard coded thermostat in - e.g., I want to give folks the ability to set the temperature on their own. Otherwise I'm sure I'll get complaints. I'd love the ability to stick a thermostat on the wall that is somewhat "standard" but at least has a motion sensor built in, so 1-2 hours after a guest leaves the room, the darn thing resets the temperature to something higher than they'd have it at (in the summer).
Other than a Nest which obviously has it - anyone else have any other recommendations?

We own 3 vacation rentals. I have installed Honeywell basic WiFi thermostats in them. I turn them up or down as needed when there is no renter. Of course when rented they adjust as they please. The other good part is I adjust the temp an hour or two before their arrival so it is comfortable when they walk in.
All this from my phone app.
Hope this helps.
