CliQ For Home is a $69 smart thermostat that installs in minutes without a C-wire, designed for homeowners who want remote temperature control and energy savings without expensive professional installation.
What is CliQ For Home?
CliQ For Home is a smart thermostat system that replaces your existing programmable thermostat and connects to standard 24V residential HVAC systems. It consists of a thermostat unit, a wireless hub, and a mobile app that together provide remote temperature management, scheduling, and energy-saving automation. The product is built by a team that includes former members of Blink, the consumer hardware company acquired by Amazon.
Key Features
- No C-wire required — CliQ runs without the common wire that many smart thermostats need, making it compatible with homes that lack a C-wire.
- Quick install — Snap off your old thermostat and click CliQ into place; installation takes under a minute with most popular programmable thermostat wall plates.
- Wireless remote thermostat optional — Add a CliQ Remote Thermostat ($99.99 kit) that mounts anywhere without wiring and works wirelessly with the main unit to control temperature in the room you actually use.
- Mobile app control — Set schedules, enable home/away modes, and adjust temperature from anywhere via the CliQ mobile app.
- Early access pricing — Launches in 2026; early access orders receive a launch price of $69.99 for the single thermostat or $99.99 for the kit with remote.
- Energy savings — Automates heating and cooling to reduce energy bills; the company claims the $69 price can pay for itself in months.
Who is it for?
- Homeowners without a C-wire — If your thermostat has no common wire, CliQ installs without an electrician or additional wiring.
- Renters and DIY homeowners — Easy installation (often under a minute) means no permanent modification or professional help needed.
- People who rarely use their thermostat room — Place a CliQ Remote in the room you actually occupy (like a living room or home office) to control the temperature where it matters, not the hallway.
What can you do with CliQ For Home?
- Reduce energy waste — Use the app to set schedules and away modes so the system only heats or cools when someone is home.
- Control temperature from anywhere — Raise or lower the thermostat remotely via the app, whether you're in bed or out of town.
- Add a remote thermostat — Stick the wireless remote on any wall in a frequently used room; choose which thermostat drives the HVAC system.
How does CliQ work?
Snap off your old thermostat from its wall plate. Click the CliQ thermostat into the same plate (if compatible). Download the CliQ app, create an account, and follow on-screen instructions to connect the device to your home Wi-Fi. For most homes using standard 24V HVAC systems with a common wall-plate pattern, the process takes minutes.
