Emerson Adds Touchscreen Display and Apple HomeKit-Compatible
Thermostats to Nationally Recognized Sensi Smarthome Product
Line
New Sensi models build on success of J.D. Power’s top-ranked
smart thermostat
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a leader in the thermostat and HVAC
controls industry, today announced the next evolution of its
nationally recognized smart thermostat. The new Sensi™ Touch
Wi-Fi® Thermostat combines proven smarthome technology with a
color touchscreen display and sleek, minimalist appearance that
will be at home in any modern living space.
Emerson’s new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat—along with an updated
version of the classic Sensi™ Wi-Fi® Thermostat—is now
compatible with smarthome management platform Apple HomeKit™,
bringing simple and secure control using the Apple Home app on
iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, or voice using Siri. The new Sensi
thermostats will build upon the brand’s legacy of connecting
precise temperature control and convenience to ensure the
highest level of home comfort.
“When we introduced the Sensi thermostat just three years ago,
we knew that our industry-leading position in HVAC controls,
combined with our expertise in system connectivity, would enable
us to develop a superior product,” said Robert T. Sharp,
executive president of Emerson Commercial and Residential
Solutions. “As we’ve continued to learn from our customers,
homeowners are gravitating toward simple smarthome 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 and from anywhere.”.

The new Sensi Touch
Wi-Fi Thermostat with color display and Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat both
offer best-in-class installation for either 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. The Sensi mobile app has also
received extensive updates, including a dashboard with individual
thermostat cards. This enhanced display provides multiple thermostat
users an easy overview into their whole-home comfort settings.
In addition to the Apple HomeKit integration, both Sensi thermostats
are compatible with smart home platforms Amazon Alexa and Wink,
providing a seamless experience for smarthome users.
Emerson’s Sensi
thermostat ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Smart
Thermostats” in the inaugural J.D. Power 2016 Smart Thermostat
Satisfaction ReportSM—so customers who choose a Sensi thermostat can
feel confident in their selection. But with two new thermostats to
select, customers may be wondering: What’s the difference?
• The Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat has a high-definition, color
touchscreen and a clean design to fit the modern home. The Sensi
Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat also has illuminated terminals for increased
visibility while wiring and easy-click terminals that eliminate the
need for a screwdriver. Additional menu options enable users to
customize the information on the home screen display and to choose a
continuous back glow for soft lighting in dark hallways or rooms.
• The updated Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat doesn’t require a common wire
(c-wire) for most installations. Apple HomeKit users will require
the c-wire for Siri voice control.
With Apple HomeKit support, customers can quickly and easily set up
and securely pair their new Sensi thermostats with their iPhone or
iPad, add it to their home set-up, integrate with other HomeKit
accessories through the creation of scenes, and begin controlling
the temperature in their home using the Apple Home app, Siri, or
Control Center.
The new Sensi thermostats will be available in early summer at
retail stores, online marketplaces, through HVAC contractors and at
sensicomfort.com.
