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 notifications to get up and walk or drink more water. It made baby monitors obsolete and shows you a picture of your sleeping angel, as well as their heart rate and oxygen levels. It joins you to the other people in the world through social media, as well as calling and texting. It’s where everybody reads their news, where they check the status of 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 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 Watch, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. 

After a bit of time, the Lyric will learn your family’s behaviors – when you turn the thermostat up, when you turn it down, when you are there, and when you leave. It has the potential to use geofencing so your Lyric can really see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your furnace to warm the 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 desired temperature when you step inside. 

It even warns 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. 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 realizes that during the heating season 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 are 60 minutes 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 problem! The Lyric understands that, as well, and will wait until 5:25 p.m. to begin turning the heating system back on but it provides the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
