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.

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.
