If I used a remote sensor in the front of the house then it would make the back of the house unbearably hot. I've now only flipped which part of the house is uncomfortable, which I suppose is greater control but not really solving the issue.

Maybe I'm missing something as this has never made sense to me.
I think you have described the purpose perfectly.

What you would do though is alter the vents by cutting the flow in the uncomfortable part and this would create more circulation and heating and cooling in the uncomfortable areas.

I use google, but for me the remote sensor should be in the Master so you can have that comfortable when you are sleeping not some other part of the house.
