The secret to holiday hosting

Nothing makes the holidays warmer than welcoming family and friends into your home. From dinners and parties to visits from out-of-towners, your Sensi is the secret to holiday hosting.

Holiday hospitality is a matter of comfort

We studied how room temperature can affect holiday gatherings. Just as the right temperature can make us feel festive, the wrong one can spoil the mood. People would rather fake enjoying a horrible meal than linger in a room that’s too hot or too cold. But lingering is the whole point of holiday entertaining.

Making sure more is merrier

It’s no wonder that crowded rooms can feel hot. According to Cornell University, the typical human body radiates about 105 watts of excess heat per hour. Fill your home with dinner guests and all that heat is centered around your table. Sensi has an easy solution: flexible scheduling. Use the Sensi app on your phone to schedule the perfect amount of comfort for the duration of your festivities ahead of time. Typically, decreasing the temperature when your house is full of guests can help increase everyone’s comfort.

Keeping their stay perfectly cozy

Overnight guests always remember how well they slept. More than just a good mattress, a key to providing a good night’s sleep is keeping their rooms at a comfortable temperature. And that’s exactly what Sensi room sensors do. Sensi Touch 2 can connect to up to 15 room sensors, so you can put a sensor in your guest's room and prioritize within the app. This helps to reduce hot and cold spots across your home, in the rooms that matter most at certain times. Because happy guests make happy memories. And that’s what the holidays are all about.
