You can use up to 6 Smart Room Sensors per single S40 Smart Thermostat BLE mesh network. However, you can only have a total of 6 smart accessories to one S40 Smart Thermostat. So, if you have a Smart Air Quality Monitor or a Wireless Extender, those will count towards your 6 smart accessories.
Place your Lennox device at any desired location in the applicable room. If at all possible, it is recommended that the sensors are installed on a wall. This ensures the device will not be lost or accidentally damaged.
The Smart Room Sensor offers versatility of installation:
- For sensor desktop/table placement, use the provided tabletop stand. If the stand is used, then the smart room sensor should be placed out of reach of children or pets. Possible locations can include a bookshelf or a desk. Wall mounting the sensor is preferred to avoid potential loss of or damage to the smart room sensor.
- For wall placement, install room sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet or 1.52 meters on an interior wall.
- For effective temperature sensing, mount the sensor in a location enabling it to sense the general room environment.

Do not install the Smart Room Sensors where it can be affected by:
• Drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners
• Exterior entrances or interior doors
• Heat generating equipment such as kitchen appliances
• Hot or cold air from ducts
• Radiant heat from sun or appliances
• Concealed pipes and chimneys
• Non-conditioned areas such as an outside wall behind the sensor
Another consideration is Bluetooth signal strength interference by physical objects and materials. The type and thickness of the material can affect how much interference is induced. One or more of the following can interfere with the Bluetooth signal:
• Large metal objects and appliances like filing cabinets, metal doors, and refrigerators.
• Floor and ceiling plenum spaces featuring joists, plumbing, duct work, and other materials.
• Plaster, concrete, and specialty glass such as bulletproof or shatterproof glass
• Water, brick, and marble materials
• Wood, glass, and synthetic materials like plastic.
