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 H20. It made baby monitors obsolete and shows you a picture of your sleeping dumpling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen stats. It joins you to the rest of the world through social media, 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 adjusts to your life to control your heating and cooling system so that you don’t have to. But you can, if you want, 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 a bit of time, the Lyric will learn your family’s behaviors – when you turn the air up, when you turn it down, when you are home, and when you leave. It has the potential to use geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your heating system to warm 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 modify 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 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 6 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 to prepare for your return home. 

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