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 reminders to move around more or consume more H20. It made baby monitors obsolete and shows you an image of your sleeping darling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen stats. It joins you to the outside world through social media, 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 runs 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. 

You can use your smartphone to adjust your Lyric Thermostat no matter where you are, and the Lyric also integrates with Apple Watch, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. 

After awhile, the Lyric will learn your family’s behaviors – when you turn the temperature up, when you turn it down, when you are there, and when you leave. It has the potential to enable geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it calculates how long it takes your heating unit 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 step inside. 

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

All of these features don’t just save you peace of mind and time, they save you cash. As the Lyric Thermostat learns all your heating and cooling behaviors, it adjusts your heating and cooling systems to save on energy bills. When it realizes that during the heating season you’re going to be gone from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically lower your themostat and then, when it sees you’re about an hour away from home, it starts turning the temperature back up to prepare for your return home. 

Does it only take your heating system 35 minutes to get your home to the ideal temperature? No problem! The Lyric understands that, as well, and will stand by until 5:25 p.m. to start turning the heater back on but it delivers the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
