Honeywell Expands Lyric Control Platform

Honeywell announces an addition to the Lyric security and home control platform-- the Lyric Gateway, a means allowing customers customers to control security and automation systems remotely via mobile devices.

Honeywell LyricThe Lyric Gateway comes complete with desk stand, and serves as a central hub for the entire Lyric platform. Control of all connected devices, including the Lyric Round thermostat, Total Connect cameras and Z-Wave enabled devices, comes through the companion Total Connect Remote Services app.

Honeywell promises easy installation via either ethernet or wifi, and backup radio communications eliminate the need for urgent dealer response in case of communication protocol changes. The radio is also user-replaceable, adding more flexibility while reducing the dispatching of service technicians.

“Many people prefer to manage their lives through their mobile device-- and controlling their home is no different,” Honeywell says. “The Lyric Gateway provides these customers with a wireless, flexible and connected system that’s ideal for life on the move. It gives consumers, such as renters and condo owners, the opportunity to have a professionally installed and monitored security system without the need to drill holes and snake wires.”

The entire Lyric platform, including the encrypted Honeywell SiX 2-way wireless sensor, supports the AlarmNet 360 online dealer platform to simplify business management for installers and dealers.
