so we've already seen this thermostat before it may look familiar to you because we reviewed the first generation Honeywell lyric thermostat back in July of 2014 back then smart thermostats were kind of revolutionary we had seen the nest but we hadn't seen anything else quite like it this was Honeywell's answer to the Nest Learning Thermostat and in many ways it did a great job of achieving that competition but it also fell short in a lot of ways to its performance just wasn't on par so Honeywell is back now with the second-generation model that cost two hundred and fifty bucks the same as nest but it still falls short I really can't figure out why they would release the second gen model with a lot of the same glitches and performance issues that the previous model had - so geofencing that's a feature that this model has that just really doesn't work all that well with the first gen model it would come in and out it was body it was hit or miss this model was more of the same it just really didn't work all that well so if you are looking for a smart thermostat I definitely wouldn't recommend this one even though it does add in-home kit compatibility so you can actually use Siri and voice control integrations to command your thermostat set the temperature to 70 degrees they set my temperature to 72 degrees and it'll do it but is it worth it I don't think so
