Smart Home
Sensi is committed to using energy resources wisely. Our decades of experience apply the latest technology that empowers you to take control of your home comfort while also reducing your energy costs and energy use.
Scheduling
Sensi smart thermostats help save customers about 23% of HVAC energy consumption by using their ability to schedule different temperatures remotely.* The ability to schedule your Sensi smart thermostat for different temperatures throughout the day (i.e., cold mornings and warm afternoons) ensures there is no energy waste. Turning your smart thermostat off while you are away from home means you are not wasting any unnecessary energy. Using energy to heat and cool your home only as needed reduces your carbon footprint as well as your energy bill.
Geofencing
You also have the option to set your Sensi smart thermostat on geofencing mode. Geofencing is a way to automatically control your Sensi thermostat based on your location. When you travel 3 miles away from your home the Sensi app will signal your thermostat to change set points and save energy. Your thermostat will lower the temperature 3 degrees when you are in heat mode or raise 3 degrees in cool mode. When you travel back to within 3 miles from your home, your thermostat will be set back to the temperature you had selected before you left.
If you are a busy person with no set schedule, the geofencing feature allows you to be more efficient with your heating and cooling energy usage without needing to remember to adjust your thermostat.
If you tend to have a predictable schedule from day-to-day or week-to-week, the scheduling feature may fit your lifestyle better.
Sensi partners with over 75 utility organizations across the country that work together to offer customers both energy efficiency and demand response programs focused on energy reduction at scale.
Demand Response Programs
Using innovative technology, demand response programs learn how your home uses energy to optimize your usage and help you save money. When demand for energy is highest (typically during extremely sweltering summer days), demand response programs will schedule Active Savings Events that precool your home before the peak hours of the day, when energy use is highest and most expensive. This allows for the impact on the power grid to be reduced. If an event occurs on a day or time that is inconvenient for you, you have an option to opt out of participation.
Rebates
You can also take advantage of rebates from your local utility to help reduce the initial cost of your thermostat. Check here for availability and to see if you qualify.
The Sensi brand of smart thermostats is one of the first to be ENERGY STAR certified, an official endorsement of Sensi’s energy-saving features and the cost-efficient benefits for consumers. ENERGY STAR is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency. Sensi was also the first smart thermostat to be named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, an award that honors businesses and organizations that lead their industries in the production, sale, and adoption of energy-efficient products, services, and strategies.
