Honeywell reports it is giving consumers across the U.S. more ways to help manage their home energy use, maintain a lower carbon footprint, and create more sustainable and efficient communities. Honeywell's full suite of Lyric TM Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats (Lyric Round, Lyric T5, and the contractor model Lyric T6 Pro), are starting to be included in opt-in demand response programs with select energy and utilities providers nationwide, including those in California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Arizona, and Rhode Island. Demand response programs are used by energy providers to avoid brownouts or blackouts during summer months when energy use exceeds their ability to deliver it to the consumer. Regional providers will be announced throughout 2017, giving consumers more convenience to maximize comfort and potential savings 1 in their own connected homes.
