  1. Connected. Connected thermostats let you control your system using a Wi-Fi connection, so you can use your smart phone whether you're at work or on vacation to manage your thermostat.
  2. Smart Thermostats. Smart thermostats have Wi-Fi capabilities, and they can also learn your schedule by knowing where you are. A smart thermostat can actually sense when you’re away from home and adjust the temperature to fit your needs.
