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 notifications to be more active or drink more agua. It replaced baby monitors and shows you a live feed of your sleeping angel, as well as their heart rate and oxygen measurements. It connects you to the outside world through SnapChat, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everybody reads their news, where they check the status of their flights, and how they pay for their daily Starbucks. 

And now it runs your home. 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat adjusts to your life to control your home comfort system so that you don’t have to. But you can, if you choose, using – you guessed it – 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 Watch, Apple HomeKit, 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 home, and when you leave. It has the ability to activate geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it calculates how long it takes your furnace to warm the home or your air conditioner 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 alerts you when the air filter needs to be switched! 

All of these features don’t just save you time and stress, they save you cash. As the Lyric Thermostat learns all your HVAC system’s behaviors, it adjusts your heating and cooling systems to save you money on your heating and cooling bills. When it realizes that during the winter you’re going to be gone from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically adjust your furnace temperature lower and then, when it sees you’ll be home in an hour, it starts pushing the temperature back up to prepare for your arrival. 

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