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 move around more or drink more agua. It replaced baby monitors and shows you an image of your sleeping angel, as well as their heart rate and oxygen levels. It connects you to the outside world through SnapChat, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as calling and texting. It’s where people get their news, where they check-in for their flights, and how they pay for their much needed 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 – you guessed it – your smartphone. 

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

But over time, 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 ability to enable geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it calculates how long it takes your heating system to heat the home or your air conditioning 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 ideal 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. As 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 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically adjust your furnace temperature lower and then, when it sees you’re about an hour away from home, it starts raising the temperature back up to prepare for your arrival. 

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