Easy Remote Management of Your Home's Thermostat

Having easy access to all of all your home’s important features is not a familiar concept to most families. Now most people have instant access to all of their emails, photos and friend’s updates with a quick look at their mobile phone. Consider being able to turn on your living room light, bump up the heat on your thermostat or find out when the kids arrived home while sitting at work, with that same simple quick look at your mobile phone. Now is the time to take advantage of low cost, easy to manage home automation giving you peace of mind and total control of your home. Not to mention, consider the savings on monthly utilities when you always have easy access to your home’s thermostat. With that in mind, Trane’s Remote Energy Management Thermostat is a simple option which can be added simply to a new or existing wireless Z-Wave network.


Trane’s Remote Energy Management Thermostat can be accessed over your existing home’s wireless network from a laptop or smart phone. This thermostat has a few features that can provide text or email alerts directly to you. If your furnace hits a temperature which is out of a preset range or if a keypad change is made to the thermostat while you are not at home you can receive this notification via text or email. Maintenance service and filter change intervals are also recorded and displayed. Additionally, daily graphs displaying your heating and cooling habits according to the home’s hourly usage are available for understanding your furnace’s operating trends.

This Z-Wave system is the base-point for connecting these components wirelessly and allows a wide variety of remote control options for other parts of your home via your laptop or smart phone. Lighting switches, shades, garage doors, thermostats are just a few options that are compatible for this wireless system. Once this system is in place at your residence, these other options can be added at anytime. Stay tuned for future discussions outlining the functionality of each of the systems. Next month’s home automation discussion will focus on lighting controls. To subscribe to this blog feed, click on the RSS icon on our Blog Tab at http://chicagoconstructionworks.com/id2.html
