The latest option isn\u2019t installing a new HVAC system or switching to green \u2013 though if your system is old and inefficient, those both help. No, if you\u2019re system is new, all you need is a new thermostat. Better yet, you need a smart thermostat.<\/p><p>Smart thermostats started out as basic appliances that allow you to connect to your home\u2019s heating and cooling system remotely (read: even when you\u2019re not at home). These systems allow you to optimize your heating and cooling to make sure your system isn\u2019t working hard when there\u2019s no one home to enjoy it.<\/p><p>Today, there are a number of these smart thermostats available on the market. While they all share the same spirit of engineering, there are some stark differences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05afede elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05afede\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Emerson Sensi Touch is a basic smart thermostat that allows you to participate in remote heating and cooling control without adding all the bells, whistles, and data found in many of the other products on the market today. In our opinion, the Sensi Touch is a good starter option for those who want the scheduling functions but would find the added controls confusing or find them completely superfluous.<\/p><p>Want to learn more about this smart home device?

While the previous generation, the Sensi, was a basic and uninspired method of temperature control, the Sensi Touch offers a few more features than its predecessor. The bottom line: If you want more than what the Sensi Touch offers but don\u2019t need all the bells and whistles associated with other smart thermostats, then keep reading.<\/p><p>The body of the thermostat isn\u2019t design inspired, but it is practical. It offers a 272 x 480 pixel 4.3\u201d touchscreen that doesn\u2019t claim to be sensitive or creative. However, the brightness and picture make it easy to read and simple to set. We like that the mode is easy to spot from far away: the numbers are against a red background when your heat is on and a blue one when you\u2019ve turned on the A\/C.<\/p><p>Because it\u2019s basic, installation should take less than 30 minutes, bar any technical issues with the app on your phone. More glitches have been reported with the Android version of the app than the iPhone, but the issues don\u2019t appear to be widespread.<\/p><p>Once you\u2019re set up, you\u2019ll connect your thermostat to the internet and HomeKit, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4b1ae5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4b1ae5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-632f8be\" data-id=\"632f8be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fc7afd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9fc7afd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What\u2019s Changed Between the Sensi and Sensi Touch?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f46f910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f46f910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In designing the latest model, Emerson chose a design that\u2019s a bit more pleasant to look at.

You\u2019ll need to disconnect it from the wifi to switch the schedule, but turning off the wifi means you need to re-set the thermostat to reconnect it from the app. The point of using a remote thermostat is to change it via your device, but it\u2019s something to keep in mind in the even you ever need to make changes manually.<\/p><p>If you do make manual changes, the thermostat will hold the temperature you\u2019ve set for two hours before reverting to your regular schedule.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3094841 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3094841\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other App Features<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24edf2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24edf2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Other than the temperature schedule, the app doesn\u2019t offer many more features.

However, some valid questions have been raised about the efficacy of the product. Creating an HVAC schedule is all well and good, but a schedule is only as good as the sensors available with the product.<\/p><p>Poor sensors mean poor temperature regulation, so checking out the performance has been the main task of early buyers. After all, regulating your temperature is as much about comfort as about saving money on your energy bills. If poor sensors send your HVAC system into inefficiency, then you\u2019re almost better off with your standard thermostat.<\/p><p>Thus far, the Sensi Touch has scored well.
