Circling in on the Honeywell Lyric Thermostat (pictures)
Honeywell trades its square thermostat for a rounded Nest-inspired design.
The Lyric speaks out
Honeywell's new $279 Lyric thermostat sure looks familiar.
Leaving the Nest
It bears a striking resemblance to the $250 Nest Learning Thermostat.
A classic comes back in style
It also looks similar to earlier Honeywell thermostat designs.
Time out
You can tell it how long you're planning to be away from home.
Baby, it's cold outside
Use it to get the daily forecast.
App happy
Set your target temperature straight from your phone.
Multiple zones and vacation homes
You can control more than one thermostat on the app.
Degrees of clutter
This display is simpler than Honeywell's smart thermostat predecessors.
Don't forget your phone
The Lyric relies on geofencing to determine if you're home or away.
