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 be more active or consume 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 status. It unites you with the other people in the world through social media, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everybody reads 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 adapts to your life to control your furnace and air conditioning 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 SamSung SmartThings, Apple HomeKit, and Apple Watch. 

In time, the Lyric will learn your home’s behaviors – when you turn the thermostat up, when you turn it down, when you are home, and when you leave. It has the capability to activate geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your heater 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 arrive. 

It also notifies you when the air filter needs to be swapped out! 

All of these features don’t just save you peace of mind and time, they save you dollars. Since the Lyric Thermostat learns all your HVAC system’s behaviors, it optimizes your heating and cooling systems to save you money on your heating and cooling bills. When it understands 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 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 furnace 35 minutes to get your home to the perfect temperature? No worries! The Lyric knows that, as well, and will stand by until 5:25 p.m. to initiate turning the heater back on but it provides the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
