Honeywell Lyric T5 review

 

The Lyric T5 won't win any beauty contests, but is an affordable smart home upgrade.

Good value ; Simple, app-based controls ; Apple HomeKit & Alexa support ; Geo-fencing capability

Limited features ; Poor display and cluttered user interface ; Cheap plastics

The Honeywell Lyric T5 boasts easy to use, app-based temperature controls but not the looks or the smarts of trendier devices from Nest or Ecobee. At $150, it’s a solid option for homeowners on a budget or a basic smart home upgrade for a parent or...

Honeywell Lyric T5 Wi-Fi Thermostat

 

The Honeywell Lyric T5 is a reasonably priced smart thermostat that works with Apple HomeKit and can be controlled with Siri and Amazon Alexa voice commands. It lacks many of the features you get with more expensive models, but it's worth considering...

Reasonably priced. Uses geofencing. Supports Siri and Alexa voice commands. Easy to install.

No motion or humidity detection. Lacks usage reports. No IFTTT support (yet).

The Honeywell Lyric T5 Wi-Fi Thermostat is a good choice for the budget-minded homeowner looking to control a heating and cooling system using a smartphone. It installs in minutes and offers a handful of smart features including Siri and Alexa voice...

A great smart thermostat for 100 bucks less than Nest

 

Honeywell's $150 Lyric T5 is more than an app-enabled programmable thermostat. It works with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and has geofencing capabilities.

The $150 Honeywell Lyric T5's geofencing feature worked consistently well, it automated my Home and Away settings every time without complaint, and it sent prompt notifications alerting me to the changes.

While I like the thermostat's general design, the font and layout of the touchscreen interface looks dated. I would like to see integrations with Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Wink and IFTTT.

Honeywell's Siri-, Alexa-, and geofencing-enabled Lyric T5 is smart, it works well and it offers a better value than other connected thermostats.

Honeywell Lyric T5 smart thermostat review: Not as advanced as some, but less expensive than many

 

The Lyric T5 lacks motion sensors and fancy algorithms, and it doesn't work with some HVAC components, but you might decide its price tag makes up for it.

Large touchscreen display ; Supports geofencing ; Compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit

Doesn’t support humidifiers, dehumidifiers, or ventilators ; No motion sensors or algorithms that learn your occupancy patterns ; Not compatible with Samsung SmartThings or Wink smart-home hubs

The Lyric T5 isn’t as technically advanced as its more-expensive competitors—including its Lyric Round sibling—but if you don’t really need the more advanced features that thermostats like those offer, the Lyric T5 is a versatile and stylish choice....

Honeywell Lyric T5 RCHT8610WF Review

 

The Honeywell Lyric T5 is compatible with major smart home platforms from Amazon, Apple and Google.

It takes longer to install than most other thermostats.

The Honeywell Lyric T5 is a good thermostat for most homes, but it’s missing many of the advanced features its more expensive competitors have.

Honeywell Lyric T5 Thermostat Review: Affordable Comfort

 

The Honeywell Lyric T5 is a competent device for those who don't want to pay top dollar for a smart thermostat. Although it lacks the extensive smart-home networking of the comparably priced ecobee3 lite ($169), its best feature — and one the ecobee...

Compatible with Alexa and HomeKit ; Geofencing capability ; Multiuser mode

Bland display ; No motion sensor

The Honeywell Lyric T5 is a capable smart thermostat for homeowners on a budget.

Consumer review (cnet.com)

very nice addition to house.

 

I got this over the last weekend. first off installed and would not power up. Did some research and found I needed a C wire or common wire to power up unit. So if you are like me and all the write ups tell you it need 24 volts to power up then you...

too many hoops to jump thru to make it work with alexa
