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 reminders to be more active or consume more agua. It replaced baby monitors and shows you an image of your sleeping angel, as well as their heart rate and oxygen stats. It connects you to the rest of the world through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everyone gets their news, where they check-in for their flights, and how they pay for their daily Starbucks. 

And now it controls your home. 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat adapts to your life to control your home comfort system so that you don’t have to. But you can, of course, using – that’s right – your smartphone. 

Whether you are at home or out for the day (or week!), your smartphone can adjust your Lyric Thermostat, and the Lyric also integrates with Apple HomeKit, Apple Watch, and Samsung SmartThings. 

After a bit of time, the Lyric will learn your family’s behaviors – when you turn the temperature up, when you turn it down, when you are at the house, and when you leave. It has the ability to enable geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it knows how long it takes your furnace to warm the 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 adjust your heating and cooling systems so that it is the perfect temperature when you arrive. 

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

All of these features don’t just save you time and stress, they save you dollars. Since the Lyric Thermostat learns all your home comfort behaviors, it adjusts your heating and cooling systems to save on energy bills. When it knows that during the cold months you’re going to be gone from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically lower your home’s temperature and then, when it sees you are 60 minutes from home, it starts turning the temperature back up so you can walk into a warm home. 

Does it only take your furnace 35 minutes to get your home to the perfect temperature? No worries! The Lyric understands that, as well, and will wait until 5:25 p.m. to initiate turning the heating system back on but it gives you the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
