Côr 5C and 7C thermostats now work with Google Assistant, allowing customers to more easily manage their smart home. Côr is a brand under UTC Climate, Controls & Security, part of United Technologies Corp. (UTC).
Google Assistant compatibility
Google Assistant smart speakers, like Google Home, have integrated support for home automation
Google Assistant smart speakers, like Google Home, have integrated support for home automation, letting users control smart home devices such as the Côr 5C and 7C thermostat with their voice. For example, customers can ask the Google Assistant to control the temperature set point of the thermostat; or get instant feedback about the state of the thermostat temperature and mode.
“We are pleased to be able to offer our customers the ability to control their home comfort with more popular devices from Google,” said Todd Nolte, Director for Product Management at Côr, adding “This compatibility allows Côr customers the ability to monitor and change their home system settings with just their voice or via an easy-to-use app.”
Côr Series Wi-Fi thermostats
Côr Series Wi-Fi thermostats keep homeowners connected and in control. The mobile app lets customers easily create and edit their schedules, review energy usage reports and change the home temperature from anywhere. Plus, they can provide instant feedback on estimated energy savings, teaching users how to better balance comfort and savings.
“With Google Assistant, you can easily control all the connected devices in your home, from lights to thermostats, all in one simple place,” said Michele Turner, Director, Smart Home Ecosystem at Google, adding “Our compatibility with Côr advances that effort to make the home smarter to help people live comfortably.”
Heating and cooling cost savings
The Côr 5C and 7C thermostats can save homeowners an average of 20 percent on their heating and cooling costs and are available through Carrier Corporation’s nationwide dealer network. The Côr thermostat is already compatible with Amazon Echo and will work with the vast majority of 24-volt communicating heating and cooling systems.
