Thermostat Features

Flexible scheduling: You can choose to use location-based temperature control (geofence technology), program a set schedule or use a combination of both to make sure your home is always comfortable.

  • Location-based temperature control: Using geofence technology, the Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat will automatically use your smartphone's location, which can save energy when you leave and make your home comfortable by the time you return.
  • Smart scheduling: Adds a Sleep period to location-based temperature control.
  • Time-based scheduling: You can program a schedule where every day is different, a schedule where weekdays and weekends are different or a schedule where every day is the same. There are four adjustable periods per day: Wake, Away, Home and Sleep
  • No schedule: You can also choose not to set a schedule and adjust the thermostat manually

Tip: The Lyric app can be used to manage multiple thermostats and multiple users in a household.
Smart Alerts: The Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat will send alerts for things like extreme indoor temperatures and reminders for things like filter changes.
Auto change from heat to cool: When Auto mode is selected, the Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat can automatically determine whether your home needs heating or cooling to reach the desired temperature.
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery: The Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat learns your heating and cooling cycle times to make sure the system delivers the temperature you want, when you want it.

Adjusting the temperature

To adjust the desired temperature up or down, touch or on the thermostat home screen.
If you're using location-based temperature control or a time-based schedule, adjusting the temperature will override the current set point until the next schedule period or geofence event, unless you want to use one of the schedule overrides below.

Schedule overrides

Hold Until (temporary hold): Overrides the current temperature set point for a maximum of 12 hours. You might use this feature to hold a temperature until a specific time.
Permanent hold: Overrides the current temperature set point permanently until you manually change it or reactivate a schedule.
Vacation hold: Overrides the current temperature set point for a longer period of time. You might use this feature when you know you'll be gone for awhile. (Note: Vacation hold can only be activated using the Lyric app.)

Setting temporary hold (for use with time-based schedules only)

  1. Touch or on the thermostat home screen to set your desired temperature. Hold Until will appear together with the time the hold will end.
  2. To change when the hold will end, touch the time and wait until the time starts blinking. Then, touch or to set when you want the hold to end. Touch Hold Until once more to confirm changes and return to the home screen.

After the hold period ends, the thermostat will automatically return to the program schedule. If you want to cancel the hold, touch Hold Until and then touch Run Schedule.

Troubleshooting

If the thermostat screen is blank

  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse that's connected to your heating or cooling system and turn it on if it's switched off.
  • Make sure the power switch at the heating or cooling system is on.
  • Make sure the furnace door is closed securely.

If the screen is difficult to read

  • Increase screen brightness (see for instructions).

If the heating or cooling system isn't responding

  • TouchMode on the thermostat home screen and set the system to Heat. Make sure the temperature set point (the smaller of the two numbers) is higher than the indoor temperature (the large number in the center of the screen).
  • TouchMode on the thermostat home screen and set the system to Cool. Make sure the temperature set point (the smaller of the two numbers) is lower than the indoor temperature (the large number in the center of the screen).
  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse that's connected to your heating or cooling system and turn it on if it's switched off.
  • Make sure the power switch at the heating or cooling system is on.
  • Make sure the furnace door is closed securely.
  • After making these changes, wait 5 minutes for the system to respond.

If the temperature setting doesn't change

  • Make sure the heating and cooling set points are within the operating range.
    • Heat: 40 ºF to 90 ºF (4.5 ºC to 32.0 ºC)
    • Cool: 50 ºF to 99 ºF (10.0 ºC to 37.0 ºC)

If Cool On or Heat On is flashing

  • The compressor protection feature is engaged. Wait a few minutes for the system to safely restart to avoid damaging the compressor. See for more information.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Wi-Fi connection questions

Will the thermostat still work if the Wi-Fi connection is lost?
Yes, you can still manually adjust the temperature at the thermostat. However, some features such as location-based temperature control (geofence technology) can only be managed through the Lyric app and will not function without a Wi-Fi connection. The thermostat will automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi once the network is restored.

Why is the thermostat not finding my Wi-Fi network?
The Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat operates in the 2.4GHz range. Smartphones operate in both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz ranges, so your smartphone may "see" your Wi-Fi network when your thermostat does not. Most Wi-Fi routers will broadcast two networks: 2.4 GHz and 5.0
GHz. If you have an option, make sure your smartphone is connected to the 2.4 GHz network.

Is there a way to extend the strength of my Wi-Fi signal?
The range (distance) of your Wi-Fi signal is determined by your router. Try moving your router closer to the location of the thermostat, or use a router with a stronger signal range.

There's an alert that says "Wi-Fi Signal Lost" – what should I do?
Wait 5 minutes for the thermostat to reconnect or select an alternate network (if you have one) in the Lyric app configuration menu. If the thermostat isn't able to reconnect, you'll need to troubleshoot the router to determine the cause.

Why is there an offline symbol (Wi-Fi icon with a strikethrough) in the upper-right corner of the thermostat screen?
The thermostat has lost its connection to the Wi-Fi network. First, make sure your Wi-Fi router is plugged in and broadcasting a signal. If it is, try resetting the router (consult the router's manual for instructions). When the Wi-Fi network has been restored, the thermostat will automatically reconnect.

Lyric account and app questions

Why haven't I received an account activation email

If you haven't received an activation email after 5 minutes, check your Spam folder and look for an email from Connected-Home@alarmnet.com. If you don't see it, tap Resend to have the activation email resent. If you still don't receive it, please contact the Lyric Technical Support team at 1-800-633-3991.

Can I set up my thermostat with multiple users?
Yes. To add users, log into the Lyric app and tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner. Select Manage Users, tap Add User and type in the email addresses of the people you'd like to invite. If they already have a Lyric account set up, the thermostat and its location will automatically be added to their account. If they don't have an account, they'll receive an email prompting them to download the Lyric app and create a new account.

Can I set up location-based temperature control with multiple users?
Yes. Location-based temperature control (geofence technology) will activate based on the last person who leaves and the first person to return. Each user will need to create their own Lyric account with a login ID and password. Two users should not share the same account. Each user will then need to enable location-based temperature control. See for instructions.

Why doesn't a change I made in the app show up on the thermostat?
There may be a short delay when you make temperature and settings changes in the Lyric app. Wait a few minutes, and if you still don't see your changes on the thermostat, make sure the thermostat is still connected to Wi-Fi and restart your Lyric app.

Alerts and maintenance notification questions

What should I do when the alert symbol warning appears on the thermostat home screen?
When you see the alert symbol on the thermostat screen, touch Menu and the ALERTS submenu will appear. Touch Select to view alert information. Or, you can view alert information in the Lyric app. See for a list of all alert codes, what they mean and the action you should take.

Software and security questions

How can I be sure my thermostat is running the most up-to-date firmware?
When your thermostat is connected to Wi-Fi, it will automatically receive over-the-air firmware updates from Honeywell. These firmware updates contain things such as new features as well as security upgrades. Keep your thermostat connected to Wi-Fi to ensure it receives these updates.

How can I prevent a cybercriminal from making unauthorized changes to my thermostat?
If a cybercriminal gains access to your Wi-Fi router, they can tamper with a wide range of online activities, including the settings on your connected devices. Make sure you change the default password on your Wi-Fi router, and when you select a new password, make sure it uses multiple upper- and lower-case letters and special characters.

Thermostat removal questions

How can I safely remove my thermostat

Thermostat removal should ideally be handled by a trained professional as improper removal can cause electrical shock and equipment damage. If you wish to remove the thermostat yourself, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker that controls your heating or cooling equipment before you disconnect any wires. If you don't know which breaker controls your equipment, you can shut off the main breaker.

How can I uninstall my Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat?
If you want to replace your Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat, or if you're moving out of your home and leaving the thermostat behind, you'll first want to clear out the personal settings that are stored on the thermostat. (Even when disconnected from power, the thermostat will keep your settings and home router information in memory.) We recommend resetting the thermostat's schedule, Wi-Fi and HomeKit settings (if previously connected). See for more information on reset options.
