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

Your smartphone is your homebase. It links to your fitness tracker and sends reminders to be more active 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 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 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 HomeKit, Apple Watch, and Samsung SmartThings. 

But over time, the Lyric will learn your household’s behaviors – when you turn the air up, when you turn it down, when you are there, and when you leave. It has the ability to use 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 desired temperature when you get home. 

It also notifies 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 money. As the Lyric Thermostat learns all your home comfort behaviors, it optimizes your heating and cooling systems to save on energy 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’re about an hour away 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 a comfortable 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 gives you the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
