WeatherBug and Honeywell Team to Improve Home Energy Efficiency
Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats will be optimized based on latest weather conditions
GERMANTOWN, Md. — WeatherBug® and Honeywell announced they will be helping Texas homeowners save energy and money this summer, while staying comfortable, regardless of the weather. Consumers using one of Honeywell’s Wi-Fi thermostats with the Total Connect Comfort app can sign up for the WeatherBug Home software update. The upgrade optimizes the Honeywell thermostats based on the latest weather conditions.
On average, the weather drives approximately 50 percent of a home’s energy use. By integrating WeatherBug Home’s real-time, hyper-local data and patent-pending algorithms, Texas homeowners with Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats can automatically adjust their thermostat set points to a maximized blend of comfort and savings. They will also be able to access free Home Energy Insight ScoreCards and help local energy utilities boost efficiency, better allocate resources, and keep the power on during peak demand times.
