• WiFi connectivity. Access your thermostat from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. The thermostat connects to your home router and allows you to monitor indoor conditions and make changes to programmed temperatures. These models can also alert you with a text message or email about any mechanical problems or temperature extremes inside the house.
• Touchscreen controls. Most Trane thermostats offer color touchscreen displays to facilitate quick, intuitive programming and mode changes. In some models, the display screen is removable and can be hand-held like a tablet for “armchair programming.”
