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 notifications to move around more or guzzle more H20. It took the place of baby monitors and shows you a picture of your sleeping angel, as well as their heart rate and oxygen measurements. It unites you with the outside world through social media, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everyone gets their news, where they keep their boarding passes for their flights, and how they pay for their much needed Starbucks. 

And now it runs your home. 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat optimizes to your life to control your furnace and air conditioning system so that you don’t have to. But you can, if you want, using – that’s right – 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 household’s behaviors – when you turn the temperature up, when you turn it down, when you are at the house, and when you leave. It has the potential to enable geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it knows how long it takes your furnace 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 desired temperature when you arrive. 

It also notifies 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. Since the Lyric Thermostat learns all your heating and cooling behaviors, it regulates your heating and cooling systems to save you money on energy costs. When it knows that during the cold months you’re going to be gone from 6 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 pushing 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 the perfect temperature? No problem! The Lyric knows that, as well, and will wait until 5:25 p.m. to initiate turning the heater back on but it delivers the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
