MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you are
hosting family and friends or traveling to gatherings with loved
ones this holiday season, Honeywell's (NYSE: HON) growing
Lyric™ family of connected devices is built to keep your home
cozy and your mind at ease. Honeywell Lyric products – from the
Lyric T5 Wi-Fi Thermostat and Lyric Water Leak and Freeze Detector
to the Lyric Security and Home Control System – make home security,
comfort, and control simple whether you are there or on the
road.
To help you maximize what smart, connected home technology can
do during the holidays and year-round, the experts at Honeywell
have a few tips and tricks:
- Lower temps can be a crowd-pleaser. Between hectic
moments in the kitchen and dining room and all the people moving
from spot to spot, consider lowering the temperature more than
usual – two degrees for every 10 people. Even though it may be cold
outside, body and cooking heat can make normal heat settings feel
warmer.
- Welcome guests with open arms. Hosting that relative
who's always cold? Build scenes and shortcuts in the Lyric app to
customize the performance of the thermostat for specific family
members or events. Your guests will appreciate the extra
hospitality, and you can save the settings for the next time they
visit.
- Sleep soundly while away. Enjoy a holiday vacation on
the road while knowing your home is safe and sound. Honeywell's
Lyric thermostats can be set to vacation mode for further cost and
energy savings while you're away. To mitigate potential damage that
could result from frozen or burst pipes, place the Lyric Water Leak
and Freeze Detector around high-risk areas to catch issues when
they start, not after you get home.
- Shorter commands, longer parties. Honeywell's Lyric
Security and Home Control System offers convenient voice control. A
simple "Hello, Lyric" can get the home ready for holiday gatherings
in no time. Adjust the lights, lock the back door, drop the shades,
turn on cameras, and more; the Lyric system means you don't have to
sacrifice comfort for security. Plus, the system's carbon monoxide
and smoke detection provides additional peace of mind.
"With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the comfort
of having a secure and controlled home can truly allow homeowners
to relax and enjoy this time with friends and family," said
Ted Booth, design director,
Connected Home, Honeywell Home and Building Technologies. "Smart
devices like the Lyric Water Leak and Freeze Detector or the Lyric
Security and Home Control System give you the confidence that your
home is safe while you're away, and the versatile Lyric T5 Wi-Fi
Thermostat and Lyric Round Wi-Fi Thermostat also give you control
wherever you might be. They are all expertly designed so you're
never out of reach to check on the status of your home."
Honeywell's family of Lyric products are also compatible with a
number smart home ecosystems such as Apple HomeKit, Amazon Echo,
Samsung SmartThings, and others so you can build and combine
products to fit your needs. To learn more, visit
