Right after learning that Google was again working on a smart thermostat, new information has been obtained. A tipster shared some of it with Android Police. EnergySense “will be able to control your home’s thermostat remotely via Android or a web-based console.” And in the image above, you see the interface on an Android tablet. Screenshots from an Android smartphone and more can be found after the break.
Just like every Google app, EnergySense will have the same, clean interface. The intuitive part of the app is that adjusting the temperature only requires you to slide the temperature circle up and down. Closer to the sun makes it warmer in your home while lowering brings the temperature down. The tipster also told Android Police that a schedule can be created and Google is working on integration with Google Now for automatic adjustments. The tipster did say that Google is not working on its own hardware for EnergySense; therefore, the equipment would have to be bought from an outside manufacturer.
Twitter’s @evleaks added his own screenshot, below, that shows the EnergySense app sitting in the Play Store. Right now, no such app exists and the screenshot is likely from someone testing EnergySense. Stay tuned for more information regarding Google’s EnergySense platform.
