MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:
HON), a leader in managing home comfort and security for more
than 125 years, has joined together with SmartThings to give
homeowners an easier way to feel comfortable and in control of
their homes. Consumers who own a Honeywell Lyric™ thermostat (first
and second generation), can now instantly adjust their home's
temperature through the new Samsung SmartThings Hub and SmartThings
mobile app (available for iOS, Windows, and Android). Other
Honeywell thermostats, including the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat and
RedLink thermostats (Honeywell's proprietary wireless communication
protocol), will be compatible in the future.
The Honeywell and SmartThings integration represents another
milestone toward delivering greater convenience and versatility as
consumers use and connect more products and systems throughout
their homes. Honeywell thermostats can be organized and controlled
by zone, and activated as part of customized actions for preset
routines using the SmartThings app. In the future, other Honeywell
and SmartThings products will be able to interact through the same
secure cloud technology, empowering homeowners and helping them to
organize and manage their home with a few actions on their mobile
devices.
"Customers put their trust in Honeywell to help them enjoy peace
of mind and savings that are possible with our family of connected
thermostats," said Jeremy Eaton,
president of Honeywell's Home Comfort business. "Now we are able to
take that to the next level for customers who have welcomed the
Samsung SmartThings Hub and SmartThings mobile app into their
homes."
