Are there wireless thermostats (not wifi) to control heat from another room?
We have an upstairs thermostat in a large open foyer/hallway. It tends to see the temp from downstairs, and the upstairs bedrooms stay cold.
I would rather replace it with a receiver and then put the actual sensing part in our bonus room which is always cold. Or move it from room to room when we have guests.
I looked at Venstar, but it will not cover where our older thermostat is installed. I would rather not have to repaint the entire wall.
The size receiver I would need is at least 3.75" x 3.75" (I am replacing a round honeywell).
Thank you.

Honeywell TH8321R1001 VisionPRO 8000 Programmable RedLINK Thermostat - Amazon.com
Have you looked into the Honeywell Redlink thermostats?
The Honeywell Redlink TH8321R1001 thermostat works with the Honeywell REM5000R1001 Portable Comfort Control.

It seems like I would also have to order the redlink as we'll as the second sensor? That would be like $300. Isn't there something more affordable and without the added complexity of the redlink?

The stat is 155 and the remote is 77. You would not need a gateway or the wireless outdoor sensor and the remote can be taken from one room to another and set on a table or desk.
Seems like the Venstar sensor is meant to be mounted on a wall but it is cheaper.
If you decide on the Venstar we can help you install it.

Does the current thermostat have a C (common) wire connected to it?
If it does not, do you have any extra wires to your stat?

You can use programable thermostats if you existing set up can support it. You will be able to set exactly what you need for each room. Take a look at the Aprilaire 8800. I have never really had any issues with them and they tend to last for a very long time.

I looked at furnace, and it does have a c terminal. There are already wires attached there. Can i just add to the connection with the wire for my thermostat? In other words, is there any limit to the number of wires attached to c terminal on furnace?

Most applications have 2 wires on common.
I commonly connect 4 wires to common.
A stat, hot water valve actuator, chill water valve actuator, and a blower contactor in a different application that still uses a 40VA transformer..
