The past decade has seen the rise of smart technology throughout the home. Nowhere is that perhaps more beneficial than with your home’s heating and cooling systems. With the right system and smart components in place, it’s possible to keep your home at a comfortable temperature without needing to constantly fiddle with your thermostat while keeping your system running efficiently.
One of the best examples of this system is the Trace ComfortLink II XL1050 system. Yes, it’s a smart thermostat, but it also does so much more to keep you in control no matter where you are in the world. It’s also a smart home hub capable of controlling your heating and cooling systems, lights, and even small appliances.
When you pair the ComfortLink II XL 1050 with a Trane TruComfort Variable Speed system, you’ll likely find that your home has never been more comfortable with less work. As a Trane communicating thermostat, all you have to do is set the ideal temperature, and the smart system will do the rest efficiently and intelligently.
For instance, the TruComfort system is a multi-zone system. That means it combines controls and sensors installed throughout your home to keep whatever room people are in at a comfortable temperature. So, if everyone in your home is in your living room, only that room’s air conditioning will switch on. This keeps that room at an ideal temperature without wasting energy cooling rooms with no one inside them.
The ComfortLink II XL 1050 can connect with both the Amazon Alexa and Google Home smart home systems. That allows you to use voice commands to change the temperature, turn on lights, or even control smaller appliances, such as a coffee maker.
If you don’t want to walk up to the hub, you can also download the Trane Home app and control or monitor your home’s systems through your smartphone. That enables you to check to see if you left a light after you’ve already left your home.
You can also add widgets to the ComfortLink hub, such as weather alerts and maintenance schedules. It’s an all-in-one device designed to give you intuitive control of your smart home system.
With a normal AC system, it can be difficult to identify when something is wrong and the particular source of the issue. That’s not the case with the ComfortLink hub. With your permission, you can actually share your AC system’s performance data with your local contractor. This provides them with real-time data about your system’s performance and makes it easier than ever to keep your system operating efficiently. Repair or maintenance issues can be scheduled quickly to help keep small issues from becoming larger, more costly ones.
Of course, if you’re concerned about privacy, you can also choose not to share this info and simply monitor it yourself. You’ll still receive real-time data about your system’s performance and be able to proactively reach out should you notice an issue.
The Comfort Link smart thermostat offers a variety of features that should keep consumers happy and in control of their home’s comfort:
It’s more cost-effective to get a new unit than to get work done on failing equipment constantly.
A new system can make your home more environmentally friendly, and this saves you a bundle on energy bills.
