International. Emerson announced the next evolution of its smart thermostat. The new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi thermostat combines proven smart home technology with a color touchscreen and a sleek, minimalist look.
Emerson's new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat, along with an updated version of the classic Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat, now supports the Apple HomeKit smart home management platform, offering simple and secure control with the Apple Home app on iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, or voice with Siri. The new Sensi thermostats will build on the brand's legacy of connecting precise temperature control and comfort to ensure the highest level of home comfort.
"When we introduced the Sensi thermostat just three years ago, we knew that our position in HVAC controls, combined with our expertise in system connectivity, would allow us to develop a superior product," said Robert T. Sharp, executive chairman of Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions. "Homeowners are gravitating toward simple fancy home 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, anywhere."
The new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi thermostat with color display and Sensi Wi-Fi thermostat offer the best installation for 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. Sensi's mobile app has also received extensive updates, including a dashboard with individual thermostat cards. This enhanced display provides multiple thermostat users with an easy description in their settings of the comfort of the entire home.
