Product Description

Product Description
Interactive programmable thermostat allows easy voice control. Control your home's temperature just by speaking! Every button talks on the Kelvin Talking Thermostat, so setting up and adjusting this programmable device is always clear. You can even control the thermostat using just your voice. If you have a loved one who is visually impaired, disabled, elderly or otherwise has difficulty using a standard thermostat, the Kelvin Talking Thermostat is a small investment that can enhance quality of life and increase independence. This thermostat is powered through your HVAC wiring and by four AA batteries (not included). Are you concerned about a loved one's ability to manage the thermostat when you are not there? Once you program the Kelvin Talking Thermostat using the talking buttons, the advanced speech recognition technology allows you to raise and lower the temperature simply by using voice commands, which can be initiated by pressing the large tactile buttons or by clapping your hands. Set up to four different temperature changes per day: morning, day, evening, and night. The temperature will adjust automatically, so you won't waste energy when it's not needed. Set different time and temperature profiles for every day of the week. The Kelvin Talking Thermostat can also be specially programmed for weekends and vacations. Although the Kelvin Talking Thermostat is voice interactive, you can also view time, temperature, day of the week and other information and visually confirm the voice-activated commands on the easy-to-read LCD screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great for us., August 24, 2007

By	J. Rogers (Belton, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased a Kelvin for my father-in-law who went blind when he was 80. It was fairly easy to install; directions are thorough and clear. It took me a while to get the hang of programming it for various periods of the day, but once we got it programmed, we hardly ever touched it again for the rest of the 6 months he used it.

My only complaint is that the voice which announces time/temp/thermostat setting was not loud enough for him to hear as he sat in his chair in the living room 12-15 feet from the thermostat. He was somewhat hard of hearing and just couldn't make out what it was saying even when the house was quiet.

I'm just sorry I didn't buy it several years ago when he was still mobile. He would have been SO grateful to finally know what temperature his house was and what temp he was adjusting the thermostat to. I would probably still have had to do all the programming, but the everyday adjustments he would have handled well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talking Thermostat at your command, June 2, 2009

A little complicated to use at first, but the speaking keys and menu items is fantastic! The ability to clap your hands to get the thermostat to respond to voice commands is really cool. No problems with installation, the instructions are clear. There is a bit of a learning curve, however, in programming the thermostat. You will probably be referring back to the instruction manual a few times to learn how to program it, but all and all, once you get used to it, this thing is great!
