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 prompts to move around more or drink more water. It took the place of baby monitors and shows you a live feed of your sleeping darling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen stats. It joins you to the outside world through SnapChat, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everybody reads their news, where they check-in for their flights, and how they pay for their daily Starbucks. 

And now it manages your home. 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat adjusts to your life to control your home comfort system so that you don’t have to. But you can, if you choose, using – you know it – your smartphone. 

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

In time, the Lyric will learn your household’s behaviors – when you turn the temperature up, when you turn it down, when you are home, and when you leave. It has the capability to use geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your furnace to warm your home or your air conditioner 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 perfect 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 peace of mind and time, they save you dollars. As the Lyric Thermostat learns all your home comfort 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 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Lyric will automatically lower your home’s temperature and then, when it sees you’re about an hour away from home, it starts raising the temperature back up to prepare for your return home. 

Does it only take your heating system 35 minutes to get your home to the perfect temperature? Fear not! The Lyric knows that, as well, and will hold off until 5:25 p.m. to initiate turning the furnace back on but it delivers the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
