New Sensi models build on success of J.D.
Power’s top-ranked smart thermostat
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a leader in the thermostat and HVAC
controls industry, today announced the next evolution of its
nationally recognized smart thermostat. The new Sensi™ Touch Wi-Fi®
Thermostat combines proven smarthome technology with a color
touchscreen display and sleek, minimalist appearance that will be
at home in any modern living space.
Emerson’s new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat—along with an updated
version of the classic Sensi™ Wi-Fi® Thermostat—is now compatible
with smarthome management platform Apple HomeKit™, bringing simple
and secure control using the Apple Home app on iPhone, iPad or
Apple Watch, or voice using Siri. The new Sensi thermostats will
build upon the brand’s legacy of connecting precise temperature
control and convenience to ensure the highest level of home
comfort.
“When we introduced the Sensi thermostat just three years ago,
we knew that our industry-leading position in HVAC controls,
combined with our expertise in system connectivity, would enable us
to develop a superior product,” said Robert T. Sharp, executive
president of Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions. “As
we’ve continued to learn from our customers, homeowners are
gravitating toward simple smarthome solutions that make life
easier. Our latest Sensi thermostats combine enhanced capabilities,
including support for Apple HomeKit with simple and secure
controls, and a sleek new interface with a proven home comfort
experience that puts users firmly in control of their environment,
anytime and from anywhere.”
The new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat with color display and
Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat both offer best-in-class installation for
either homeowners or contractors, with step-by-step instructions
and video tutorials in the Sensi smartphone app. Customers can use
the new geofencing proximity detection feature or flexible
scheduling options to achieve energy savings without compromising
their comfort. Both thermostats use smart alerts to notify
customers of extreme temperatures and humidity levels. The Sensi
mobile app has also received extensive updates, including a
dashboard with individual thermostat cards. This enhanced display
provides multiple thermostat users an easy overview into their
whole-home comfort settings.
In addition to the Apple HomeKit integration, both Sensi
thermostats are compatible with smart home platforms Amazon Alexa
and Wink, providing a seamless experience for smarthome users.
Emerson’s Sensi thermostat ranked “Highest in Customer
Satisfaction with Smart Thermostats” in the inaugural J.D. Power
2016 Smart Thermostat Satisfaction ReportSM—so customers who choose
a Sensi thermostat can feel confident in their selection. But with
two new thermostats to select, customers may be wondering: What’s
the difference?
- The Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat
has a high-definition, color touchscreen and a clean design to fit
the modern home. The Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat also has
illuminated terminals for increased visibility while wiring and
easy-click terminals that eliminate the need for a screwdriver.
Additional menu options enable users to customize the information
on the home screen display and to choose a continuous back glow for
soft lighting in dark hallways or rooms.
- The updated Sensi Wi-Fi
Thermostat doesn’t require a common wire (c-wire) for most
installations. Apple HomeKit users will require the c-wire for Siri
voice control.
With Apple HomeKit support, customers can quickly and easily set
up and securely pair their new Sensi thermostats with their iPhone
or iPad, add it to their home set-up, integrate with other HomeKit
accessories through the creation of scenes, and begin controlling
the temperature in their home using the Apple Home app, Siri, or
Control Center.
The new Sensi thermostats will be available in early summer at
retail stores, online marketplaces, through HVAC contractors and at
sensicomfort.com.
