Lennox has shared that its L40 Smart Thermostat has been named “Smart Thermostat of the Year” by the IoT Breakthrough Awards program. The award looks at connected devices that use smart features in a clear and useful way. In this case, the judges focused on how the L40 thermostat connects with a home’s heating and cooling system and how it helps homeowners manage comfort and energy use through its app and on-screen tools.
The L40 Smart Thermostat includes geo fencing, which means it can use a phone’s location to adjust the temperature when people are home or away. It also supports customizable schedules so users can set different temperatures for various times of the day without much effort. Guided configuration prompts walk users through setup steps, so the thermostat can be matched to the home’s HVAC equipment and preferences. System insight tools give basic information about system performance and usage trends, helping homeowners see how and when their heating and cooling runs.
Lennox positions the L40 as part of a connected home system that works with its HVAC products. The thermostat is designed to work with Lennox heating and cooling units so the system can manage temperature, air quality, and humidity as a single package. The connected features are meant to give homeowners control through their phones along with on-wall controls, so they can adjust comfort settings whether they are at home or away.
The IoT Breakthrough Awards program looks at a wide range of connected products each year, across several categories related to smart home and other internet connected technologies. Being named “Smart Thermostat of the Year” places the L40 among the top products in the smart home category for this award cycle. The focus of the recognition is on the thermostat’s connected feature set, its user guided setup process, and the way it ties into system insight tools that help users understand their HVAC use patterns.
For homeowners who already have Lennox systems or are looking at new HVAC equipment, the L40 Smart Thermostat is presented as an option that fits into a connected setup. The award draws attention to its mix of mobile controls, geo fencing, scheduling, and basic system feedback features. While the press release centers on the award, it also points users toward Lennox’s product page for more detailed information on compatibility, features, and how the thermostat works with specific Lennox heating and cooling units.
