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 prompts to move around more or consume more water. It made baby monitors obsolete and shows you an image of your sleeping darling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen status. It unites you with the rest of the world through social media, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everyone gets their news, where they check the status of their flights, and how they pay for their daily Starbucks. 

And now it runs 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 want, using – you guessed 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. 

But over time, the Lyric will learn your household’s behaviors – when you turn the thermostat up, when you turn it down, when you are home, and when you leave. It has the ability to use geofencing so your Lyric can actually see where you are and, once it knows how long it takes your heating unit to heat your 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 start adjusting your heating and cooling systems so that it is the desired 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 money. Because 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 knows 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’ll be home in an hour, it starts raising the temperature back up to prepare for your return home. 

Does it only take your HVAC unit 35 minutes to get your home to the perfect temperature? Fear not! The Lyric learns that, as well, and will stand by until 5:25 p.m. to begin turning the furnace back on but it gives you the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
