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

Your smartphone is your lifeline. It links to your fitness tracker and sends prompts to get up and walk or drink more agua. It took the place of baby monitors and shows you an image of your sleeping darling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen measurements. It unites you with the other people in the world through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as calling and texting. It’s where people get their news, where they check the status of their flights, and how they pay for their morning Starbucks.

 

And now it controls 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 – you guessed it – 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 home’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 capability to use geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your heater 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 adjust your heating and cooling systems so that it is the perfect temperature when you get home.

 

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

 

All of these features don’t just save you time and stress, they save you money. Since the Lyric Thermostat learns all your heating and cooling behaviors, it regulates your heating and cooling systems to save you money on your heating and cooling 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 themostat and then, when it sees you’ll be home in an hour, it starts pushing the temperature back up to prepare for your return home.

 

Does it only take your HVAC unit 35 minutes to get your home to a comfortable temperature? Fear not! The Lyric learns that, as well, and will stand by until 5:25 p.m. to start turning the heater back on but it gives you the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
