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 move around more or guzzle more H20. It replaced baby monitors and shows you a live feed of your sleeping dumpling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen status. It connects you to the other people in the world through social media, 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 morning Starbucks. 

And now it manages 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 choose, using – you know it – your smartphone. 

You can use your smartphone to adjust your Lyric Thermostat no matter where you are, and the Lyric also integrates with SamSung SmartThings, Apple HomeKit, and Apple Watch. 

In time, the Lyric will learn your family’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 really see where you are and, once it calculates how long it takes your furnace to heat your home or your A/C system to cool it, it will determine when you are that length of time away from the house and automatically start adjusting 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 swapped out! 

All of these features don’t just save precious time and peace of mind, they save you dollars. Since the Lyric Thermostat learns all your HVAC system’s behaviors, it regulates your heating and cooling systems to save you money on your heating and cooling bills. When it understands 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 so you can walk into a warm home. 

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