Smart thermostat

Because I have underfloor heating in my apartment with an HR Intergas gas central heating boiler, it takes a long time to get the heating up to temperature. It is therefore better to heat at a fairly constant temperature (+ or - 1° C), but this is not very economical. That is why I purchased a smart thermostat via Marketplace for €75 excl. shipping costs.

Honeywell Lyric T6 Smart Thermostat - black - wired

This works well with Opentherm modular heating of the Intergas central heating boiler and replaces the standard round thermostat in the living room.

The black Honeywell Lyric T6 (wired, for wall mounting) is a smart thermostat that helps you save energy. The thermostat knows exactly when to heat and when not to heat. The Lyric T6 learns how long it takes before the desired temperature in your home is reached, so you always have the right temperature at the set time. The thermostat is easy to operate via the stylish black touchscreen or via the Resideo app (new Lyric app) on your iOS or Android device. The Honeywell Lyric T6 offers support for Apple HomeKit.


Specifications Honeywell Lyric T6
  • Smart self-learning thermostat including boiler module
  • Wired connection to central heating boiler,
  • Modulating Opentherm or On/Off mode,
  • Stylish minimalist design with illuminated touchscreen
  • Takes user location into account (Geofencing)
  • Supports Apple HomeKit and Siri voice control
  • Simple operation via touchscreen or via the Resideo app
  • Set weekly schedules
