The Lyric Thermostat: Home Comfort and Energy Savings in a Smart Thermostat

Your smartphone is command central. It links to your fitness tracker and sends prompts to get up and walk or drink more water. It made baby monitors obsolete and shows you a picture of your sleeping dumpling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen levels. It connects you to the outside world through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everyone gets their news, where they keep their boarding passes for their flights, and how they pay for their morning Starbucks.

 

And now it manages your home.

 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat optimizes to your life to control your heating and cooling system so that you don’t have to. But you can, if you choose, using – that’s right – your smartphone.

 

Your smartphone can control your Lyric Thermostat no matter where you are, and the Lyric also integrates with SamSung SmartThings, Apple HomeKit, and Apple Watch.

 

In time, the Lyric will learn your family’s behaviors – when you turn the air up, when you turn it down, when you are there, and when you leave. It has the capability to activate geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your furnace to warm your home or your A/C system to cool it, it will determine when you are that length of time away from the house and automatically modify your heating and cooling systems so that it is the desired temperature when you arrive.

 

It even warns you when the air filter needs to be switched!

 

All of these features don’t just save you peace of mind and time, they save you dollars. Because the Lyric Thermostat learns all your heating and cooling behaviors, it regulates your heating and cooling systems to save you money on energy costs. When it understands that during the winter you’re going to be gone from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically lower your themostat and then, when it sees you are 60 minutes from home, it starts raising the temperature back up to prepare for your return home.

 

Does it only take your furnace 35 minutes to get your home to the perfect temperature? No worries! The Lyric learns that, as well, and will stand by until 5:25 p.m. to begin turning the furnace back on but it provides the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
