0Hi Sieghard, Funny you mentioned these Honeywell Thermostats as I have been looking at them. I did download the Lyric app but was unable to test it as I do not have the thermostat. Because I went through the whole process of setting up and account with the Lyric app and then got to the question is the thermostat on the wall. I had to answer no or yes. When I answered no it wanted me to hook up the thermostat. I did not press yes as I figured it would want some info from the thermostat and I don’t have one. I wanted to just test the app to see how accessible it is with VO. About three weeks or so ago I did download another Honeywell thermostat app to see if it was accessible and it had a demo mode so I was able to test the app. It was workable with VO. So I am like you I would buy one of these thermostats from Honeywell if I could figure out if the Lyric app is accessible with VO. I did call and talk to Honeywell tech support and I told them what I wanted to do was find out it the Lyric app was accessible with VO. The tech tried to use the Lyric app with VO but I don’t think he knew what he was doing with VO. He said it would say what was on the screen but he did not know if you could make any adjustment with VO. So I don’t know if he knew for sure how to use VO with all the gestures. So if someone could figure out how to test the Lyric app or if someone has a device that using the Lyric app please let us know if it is accessible.
Mr. Ed From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, October 30, 2017 11:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Schlage Sense smart doorlock and Honeywell WiFi thermostat Hi, Just wondering if anybody owns one of these homekit enabled smart doorlocks from Schlage and has any feedback on the accessibility of the accompanying app. I was at an Apple Store today and also realized that Honeywell now makes two homekit enabled WiFi thermostats, they are called “Lyric Round” for $299 CAD and “Lyric T5” for $179 CAD. The round one is very contemporary looking with a few more features, the T5 is a bit more basic but still homekit enabled which means SIRI support and still you can do a schedule and all and I guess in the US it is probably $139 or $149. The accompanying app is called “Honeywell Lyric” and in the description it mentions that there is also another thermostat called the Lyric T6 which seems to be specific to european countries and they also make water leak sensors and a security camera. Apparently all these devices are homekit enabled, but also support Alexa and Google Assistant. Both of these thermostats can be found in the Apple Store app, go to the “Shop” tab, then to “Accessories” and then “Homekit Accessories”. If anybody has either one of these thermostats and uses the Honeywell Lyric app I’d also be interested in hearing about it. I have had the WiFi thermostat from Radio Thermostats and they have been working well for probably 5 years now, but especially for my house I might consider switching to a homekit enabled device.
