A multi-room system gives you much finer control: you can set a specific temperature target for each room and even create different heating schedules for different parts of your house.

Does the smart thermostat require professional installation?

Once it’s in place, the Lyric T6 connects to your home network via built-in Wi-Fi and is configured entirely from the smartphone app. To get started, you simply need to configure its three heating modes – Home, Away and Sleep – and set up multi-user geofencing, so the Lyric can automatically detect when no one’s home and shut off the heating. If you prefer, you can create a custom heating schedule you can but this disables geolocation.

If your thermostat stays blank after you’ve just set it up, you might need to re-insert the wires into the connectors. Switch off your HVAC system at the fuse box. If the HVAC system uses a switch, you should also turn that off. This will prevent your thermostat and HVAC system from getting damaged as you re-insert the thermostat wires.
