What is the range of this sensor? Will it work reliably with 100' and a half dozen partition walls between it and the thermostat?

it works everywhere in my house without any problem. my house is a forester.

i don't know for sure - but it is powerful.I can get reception 65' and through two exterior walls with vinyl siding.

It should work as long as the wall is not too thick. I have found that the range is up to 100'.

The range of motion I have experience is about 20 feet. That is in consistent way in which the sensor responds every time. I tried to expand that range an you can see that it is not that consistent in its detection, but that is my experience. either way putting it on a base before installing it to the wall or on the wall, my experience is that 20 feet is the most consistent range on this system.

Think it's close, but I think you can use an extension cord. They also sell extensions for the sensors.

I don't have exact range but I was worried about it before I purchase it reading the descriptions. I live in a two story house and I have my camera up in my girls room and I can take the video receiver anywhere in the house and it works. I don't have a huge house about 1600 square feet but did not have problems downstairs and through walls. I see other people had problems with this so it probably depends how thick your walls are...

I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months. As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading. Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind. I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

Previous answer was correct. My only challenge with outdoor sensors was proximity .. downstairs thermostat couldn't talk with upstairs sensor outside a window. But adding sensors is totally the solution when you have multiple thermostats. Overall, great products from Honeywell!!!!!

I have the sensors 250 feet from my house where the receiver is and it works fine.

I have my Dakota passive infrared sensor pointed across my driveway. It's triggered by cars, people, dogs, birds, squirrels and everything. I walked past it and gave it a wide birth (thirty feet) holding a wireless home phone set on intercom to listen for the alert. I'm very happy with it and don't mind false alerts. Works well. The sensor is more than three hundred feet from house in woods. Super. The batteries last a long time, also.

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.

I'm not an electrician but the thermostat is NOT wireless so I would imagine it wouldn't matter how far away it is as long as it's wired to the heater.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

It should work. The sensor has very long range. either 75 feet or 100 feet but I forgot the exact rating.

I have mine connected in my bedroom... there is a wall and approx 4 feet from the router. It works at full strength so I think it is not necessary to have it very close. Based on what I have heard from friends (who own similar devices), these devices will work well up to a distance of 10 meters beyond which it is not totally reliable.

It works great. I used it from 75-feet away, around a corner wall, in a different room, and there was no problem at all. It's a really clever device. We are quite happy with it so far

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.
