According to Trane’s website, Nexia is whole-home automation “with the freedom of remote home management, giving you total control of the comfort, efficiency and security of your home from anywhere.” Here is Warner Service’s rundown on how Trane’s Nexia control and ComfortLink™ thermostat technology will work in your home:
