Honeywell Lyric Thermostat

Honeywell is no stranger to temperature control and automation, and it is a matter of time that the New Jersey-based firm introduces a Nest-like thermostat aimed at intelligently setting the right temperature of your home based on your lifestyle. fancy words aside, Lyric is essentially a smart thermostat that heats or cools your home based on smartphone location. on the premise of busy modern life has no fixed schedule, the Lyric will learn your habits and make the appropriate temperature adjustments. from the design perspective, Lyric looks suspiciously like the Nest, sporting a round design and it even function almost like one. though it does have some tricks up its sleeve, cos’ after all, this is not a cheap piece of smart hardware costing $279 a pop.

thanks to geofencing this intelligent thermostat will automatically switch to energy saving mode when no one is at home, and when it senses you are coming home, it will heat or cool your humble abode to your desired temperature. but that’s not all; it also boasts a Fine Tune feature that take into account of the indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather, so that it can provide the most comfortable temperature for you. that makes a lot sense cos’ it would be pointless to be blasting the air-conditioning system at 72 degree when outside is a breezy 72 degree too. in fact, Honeywell claims that a person living in San Jose using this device could potentially save around $74 yearly.
