Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat learns habits, matches your neon decor (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Honeywell has had WiFi-capable thermostats on the market for some time, but few of them would be a great match for home interiors that have escaped 1980s beige chic. The company’s new Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is going a long way toward bringing that design fully into the present century. Owners can color match the touchscreen interface with the paint on their walls, down to very exact shades. Of course, the thermostat wouldn’t be much of a competitor in the Nest era if it didn’t have some of that namesake intelligence underneath. As with its main rival, the Honeywell system has (already existing) Android and iOS apps, and can tell how long it takes to change the temperature; it’s also aware of when filters need a change based on furnace behavior. If you’re on the cusp of a home renovation and don’t want anything so gauche as a differently-colored screen, home improvement shops should have the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat this May for $249.
