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 reminders to be more active or consume more agua. It took the place of baby monitors and shows you an image of your sleeping dumpling, as well as their heart rate and oxygen status. It joins you to the other people in the world through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, 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 manages your home. 

The Honeywell Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat optimizes to your life to control your heating and cooling system so that you don’t have to. But you can, of course, using – that’s right – your smartphone. 

Whether you are at home or out for the day (or week!), your smartphone can adjust your Lyric Thermostat, and the Lyric also integrates with SamSung SmartThings, Apple HomeKit, and Apple Watch. 

After a bit of time, the Lyric will learn your home’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 activate geofencing so your Lyric can literally see where you are and, once it learns how long it takes your heating system 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 modify your heating and cooling systems so that it is the desired 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. As the Lyric Thermostat learns all your home comfort behaviors, it adjusts your heating and cooling systems to save on energy bills. When it knows 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’ll be home in an hour, it starts raising 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 initiate turning the furnace back on but it delivers the same result – home comfort with energy savings.
