MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With the
Lyric™ family of products, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) believes
that having a comfortable, connected home should be possible no
matter the season, schedule, or location. With fall and winter
approaching, Honeywell introduces the new Lyric T5 Wi-Fi
thermostat, the latest of Honeywell's home products to have Apple
HomeKit™* compatibility for simple, secure control using voice with
Siri, or the new Apple Home app in iOS 10. The Lyric T5 delivers
comfort when you're home and savings when you're away, with a
sleek, minimalist design, and the smart features and support that
customers trust. The T5 is also compatible with Amazon
Alexa-enabled devices and Stringify, with other partners on the
way.
The Lyric T5 joins Honeywell's suite of devices powered by the
newly updated Lyric app, including the Lyric Round™ Wi-Fi
thermostat and Lyric Wi-Fi Water Leak and Freeze Detector. Designed
to adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable schedules of today's
families, the Lyric T5 uses technology that is already in
customers' pockets: their smartphones (iOS or Android). Using the
location of the smartphone(s) via geofencing technology, the Lyric
T5 saves money by going into energy saving mode when someone
leaves, and detects when the first person returns to start making
the home comfortable ahead of his or her arrival. The geofencing
can be customized to a distance of miles away or just around the
corner from the home, or customers can set up the Lyric T5 with a
more traditional seven-day schedule. The Lyric T5 also features
smart alerts for extreme temperatures or humidity inside the home,
filter change reminders, and more.
"Feeling connected and in control at home can factor into how
comfortable we feel, perhaps as much as the actual temperature
can," said Jeremy Eaton, vice
president of Honeywell's Home Comfort business. "The Lyric T5
thermostat gives people even more choice, easy connectivity, and
control, along with the reliability and innovation for which
Honeywell is known."
The Lyric T5 thermostat also combines:
- Classic styling: The glossy black, touch-sensitive
display with dark gray trim adds a subtle look to a home's
décor
- Lyric app (V3): Adjusting home comfort – and settings –
is possible from nearly anywhere (or simply make changes right on
the thermostat itself)
- Fits a home as it grows: With support for other
Honeywell Lyric products, Apple HomeKit with Siri, Amazon
Alexa-enabled devices, Stringify, and more, the Lyric T5 fits into
a home's technology ecosystem as it evolves
- Auto changeover: The Lyric T5 can be set to determine if
the home's system should be in heating or cooling mode to provide
maximum comfort
- Smart response: Able to learn a home's heating and
cooling cycles, the Lyric T5 can then adapt to bring the home to
the optimized temperature at the requested time
- Smart alerts: The Lyric T5 can send reminders about
filter changes, warn of extreme temperatures inside the home, and
more
- HomeKit support: Easily and securely control the Lyric
T5 across Apple devices in iOS 10 using the new Home app, Siri
voice control, and quick actions in Control Center. Set scenes,
which enable multiple accessories to work in combination, all with
a single command
The Honeywell Lyric T5 Wi-Fi Thermostat will be available in
October for $149 (MSRP) online and at
select retail stores. To learn more, including about other Lyric
