:: Networked home comfort systems.

Home Smart Home

Imagine yourself in your favorite recliner, sitting in your own high-tech command center. With the simple touch of a button, you dim the lights, answer the phone, turn up the heat, and check on the kids via a closed-circuit TV monitor.

Sound like some futuristic fantasy? This will soon be possible thanks to home networking, where every electronics system in the home is seamlessly integrated through Internet-based technologies. The idea is to have everyday devices networked together so that you can control them from anywhere you have Internet access, whether it's at home, the office or a hotel room.

The Lennox Link

Always looking toward the future, Lennox engineers are now investigating ways to make HVAC systems part of the networked picture. Lennox already has products with built-in features that allow integration as a total comfort system. The next step is to link this system to a larger networked system within the home.

A networked HVAC system would allow you to monitor and manage your interior climate—at any time, from anywhere. It would even make electronic decisions on your behalf. For instance, if there's a sudden change of weather while you're away on vacation, the system would automatically adjust temperature for optimal efficiency. Likewise, if there's a problem, the system would alert you via email.

Our vision of the networked home would bring added control, convenience and cost-effectiveness to your living environment. It is this vision that will help us satisfy every imaginable comfort need.
