Lennox Industries has launched a range of new smart home products including a smart thermostat, a smart air quality monitor, and a smart room sensor.

The company’s S40 Smart Thermostat has been designed as both a thermostat and a homehub. It provides a control point for all other Lennox smart home products, including digital HVAC, smart air quality monitor and room sensors.

“The Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat is more than a temperature regulator; it is the command centre for your entire Lennox system,” said Ingrid Berkley, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Controls & Indoor Air Quality at Lennox Industries. “The S40 Smart Thermostat monitors sensors throughout your home while ensuring a seamless user experience, bolstered by a variety of automation features.”

The Smart Air Quality Monitor detects and tracks particulates, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds (TVOC’s) inside the home. When poor-quality air is detected, it triggers the system to circulate and clean the air to ensure the healthiest air possible. The company claims that it is the only monitor currently on the market that enables on-demand ventilation, purification and filtration based on real-time air quality readings. 

The Smart Room Sensor provides temperature and humidity readings to the S40 Smart Thermostat and tells it how to balance temperatures across the rooms where the sensor is placed. When a room is in use, occupancy sensors keep the set temperature. When it’s not, the sensors revert to a more energy-efficient temperature.

The company’s Schedule IQ Technology, Smart Away geo-fencing capabilities and one-touch Away Mode ensure the S40 Smart Thermostat and connected equipment run as efficiently as possible by maintaining comfort when the home is occupied and saving energy when it is not.

“At Lennox, we believe the air in your home should be personalised to your degree of perfection,” said Quan Nguyen, Vice President and General Manager at Lennox Industries. “The Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat controls a one-of-a-kind, fully communicating system that seamlessly and intelligently works together to stay tuned into your home and deliver consistently perfect, healthy air.”
