The second generation Lyric(TM) thermostat features the same sleek aesthetic and intuitive features of the original, such as location-based, customized temperature control. It also can be easily integrated into other current ecosystems, such as Samsung(®) SmartThings(TM), and can link to many home products and services that customers choose, including those from Honeywell, such as the Lyric security system.
"The Lyric family continues to grow and improve, giving consumers the ability to be even more comfortable and in control of their homes with just one app," said Jeremy Eaton vice president of Honeywell's Home Comfort business. "Honeywell knows that people are busier than ever, which is why the new Lyric thermostat was designed to suit people's busy lives to keep them comfortable when they are home and save money when they are away."
Key features and updates for the Lyric thermostat and app include:
-- Apple HomeKit and Apple Watch(®) - easily and securely control the
Lyric thermostat using Siri, set up special actions, connect to other
HomeKit-enabled products in the home via the Lyric app, and even make
changes and check multiple thermostats using Apple Watch.
-- Customizable Geofencing - consumers can create a custom geofence map and
distance, enabling the Lyric thermostat to deliver "comfort when you're
home, savings when you're away" with even greater accuracy.
-- Smart Alerts - the Lyric thermostat can send reminders about filter
changes, warn of extreme temperatures and humidity inside the home, and
more.
-- Intelligent Comfort Control - to make sure 72 degrees feels like 72
degrees, the Lyric thermostat considers temperature and humidity to
maintain comfort, and can also work with your system to adjust in-home
humidity levels.
-- Custom Shortcuts - create a dynamic heating/cooling schedule, and set up
recurring event triggers with a single touch of the thermostat or app.
