DALLAS — Lennox announced that its Lennox L40 Smart Thermostat has been named “Smart Thermostat of the Year” in the IoT Breakthrough Awards, an annual program recognizing innovation across the Internet of Things ecosystem.
According to Lennox, the award recognizes the L40 Smart Thermostat for its connected capabilities that support system monitoring, smart home integration, and energy-efficient operation. Features cited include geo-fencing, customizable schedules, guided configuration prompts, and system insight tools designed to help homeowners manage comfort and performance.
The Lennox L40 includes Smart Away geo-fencing technology, which uses a homeowner’s smartphone GPS to automatically adjust temperature settings when occupants leave or return home. The thermostat also delivers system alerts, maintenance reminders, and remote diagnostics intended to help identify potential issues earlier.
To simplify installation and setup, the L40 provides guided prompts for Wi-Fi connection, account creation, and thermostat pairing. Homeowners can customize schedules, alerts, and a One-Touch Away Mode that shifts heating and cooling to preset set points. Lennox dealers can configure custom equipment profiles to align thermostat settings with specific system types, locations, and homeowner preferences.
The thermostat is managed through the Lennox Home app, which allows remote temperature adjustments, schedule management, and system status monitoring. The app supports Lennox equipment pairing, system alerts, and maintenance notifications, enabling integration across connected home platforms.
The Lennox L40 Smart Thermostat includes built-in Matter compatibility and integrates with smart home platforms such as Samsung SmartThings and Apple HomeKit. It also supports ecosystems including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Building36, and Control4.
“Developing smart connected controls requires balancing technical complexity with everyday usability,” said Prakash Bedapudi, chief technology officer at Lennox. “The L40 smart thermostat design achieves that balance by delivering system insights in an intuitive format homeowners can understand.”
