a smart thermostat using Cortana

We knew Cortana's smart thermostats were coming. The one that seems to have won the race and is therefore the first that should be marketed is the GLAS smart thermostat from Johnson Controls.

GLAS is equipped with a semi-transparent touch screen and uses the Windows 10 IoT Core operating system. As you can see, it also offers voice commands via Microsoft's AI assistant.

In the ehealth below you can see some of the features of this thermostat, including monitoring or regulating the temperature of your health home as well as calendars, air quality and usage data. energy.

In order to monitoring indoor air quality, the GLAS smart thermostat has built-in sensors for continuous monitoring. The device will also be able to detect when you are in the room.

We do not yet have all the product features, specifications, price or precise release date for the smart thermostat. Anyway, it is almost certain that it will be the first device equipped with Cortana. In all likelihood, it should be launched this fall in the United States. Microsoft has also announced that other Cortana-controlled devices will soon hit the market; refrigerators and devices for smart health connected cars are arriving.

At this time, we do not know if this device will work with accessories. I am thinking in particular of small plugs to install in other rooms of the house.

The YouTube ehealth and advertisement above mentions Azure cloud services and shows some parameters. At this time, we do not know if Microsoft and Johnson Controls will sell the GLAS smart thermostat as a competing product capable of competing with Google’s Nest line and Ecobee’s Alexa thermostats.
