What started with the Nest Learning Thermostat, Honeywell’s Lyric ($279, www.lyric.honeywell.com) has taken to the next level in future-forward thermostats.
Whereas the Nest learns your temperature patterns over time, the Lyric uses your smartphone to detect when you are and are not home. It can even sense when you’re within 500 feet or seven miles of your house and adjust the temperature before you get home.
The device takes humidity into account to create perceived, not real, temperature, and can be set for different activities, such as working out or hosting a party. It’s a snazzy addition to any wall, with its Apple-esque white face and sleek chrome trim.
