    Free thanks to the Energy Efficiency Program. On sale @ Lowes for $99. PM @ HD for $89+tax. Program sends you a $100 rebate. Rebate also applies to the Nests and Ecobee 3's as well.


    Has anyone have 2 or more of these (or a different brand/model) hooked up in your house? I am wondering how the phone apps work if you have more than one? I want one in my garage as well, but I wonder how that work with the app.

    You can just add another device in the app and rename it something else like "Lyric - Garage" or something.

    Right on. Glad several people were able to jump in on the rebate deal!

    I don't have a C wire since my current thermostat is battery operated. How did you guys handle yours?

    I'm thinking of disconnecting my green/fan and using it as a C but I don't really want to lose any fan functionality.

    I haven't checked my furnace or the wall yet so I'll do that and confirm if I have to run a C wire or not.

    You sure you don't have a wire...and it isn't just hidden in the wall? I bought the Lyric as well and when I first went to my parents house I saw it was battery operated model that they had, and only 3 wires, since I was there with the wife I just gave up and was going to return it, but then I realized that sometimes the extra wires are wrapped around the main cable and are inside the wall, so I revisited, and this time, instead of taking the thermostat off, I went downstairs to the furnace to see where that cable ends. Sure enough, the cable had extra wires that are disconnected and wrapped around the base. I quickly unwrapped it on both ends, connected it to C on the thermostat and on the furnace, and the Lyric has been there ever since, doing a wonderful job.

    This is an example of how mine was wrapped, can see at the bottom two extra wires, brown and purple

    For sure, like I said I have to check inside the wall and furnace downstairs first to confirm if I have one or not.

    I just meant that I didn't see a C-wire when I popped the current thermostat off.

    I haven't really gotten around to starting the install so that'll be the first thing I check later tonight haha.

    Was just wondering if anyone had run into problems with it yet but it seems like you guys installed them without any issues!

    My parents had the same setup and we just ran a red wire from the furnace up to the thermostat. We tried everything to avoid it, but you can't haha. We tried jumping the R wire into the C slot in the thermostat but no dice.

    Thanks - so do you just buy that and then apply for the credit? Is it a pretty smooth process?

    Also if I already have a programmable thermostat, should it just be plug & play to switch?

    Yeah all the info is here: https://www.efficiencyalberta.ca/onl...t-thermostats/

    If you bought one recently, have the receipt and the model is listed you can apply for the rebate.

    Like eblend described, check for extra wires in the furnace. Take a picture of the connected wires upstairs then compare it to the furnace. I was about to return it when I couldn't pull extra slack behind the wall upstairs. My wife pointed out that one wire(blue) was connected to old t-stat but it was wrapped around the base in the furnace. Matched it all up and it was good to go. Looks confusing but realize how it easy it is after you finish.

    Received my T5 yesterday and hooked it up, had to run a C wire, had more issues getting the device setup with the app than anything else

    yeah, I had a tough time setting up my T5 using my Iphone.
    It finds the network but then when Iphone opens the HomeKit, nothing happens.
    Had to use a different phone to configure it.

    Also this morning our Shaw internet was down from 4am-7am, so geofencing is messed up now.
    Despite wife and I being at work, heating keeps on running, so I set it to schedule mode and try to have geofencing working again tonight.


    Bought this on amazon so that I can finally use my other watch

    Some users mentioned this issue and called Honeywell and they did a software update on the unit and it seems to have resolved it. So try that route

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Same here - I just have 2 wires, I am either going to have to do some modifications or just return it. There is a C wire kit you can buy but it's like $40.

    Don't need to call Honeywell anymore, as long as your thermostat is connected to the network, the firmware update should come through automatically over the next 24-48 hours.
