Nest Thermostat: Is the Honeywell Lyric Alarm Compatible?

hi guya is joe here at alarm grid and today we're going to talk about if the nest thermostat is compatible with the honeywell lyric alarm system first let's check out the thermostat right here we have a nest unit as you can see it's not plugged in so it's just showing the the general set up screen the front of it is a nice glass glass window the unit itself is a button you'll do that to select your different options and then adjust the temperature the whole unit turns right around the backside of it if we take the backplate off you'll see that this is where all the wiring connections go it's a it's a very versatile thermostat and acount replace most existing thermostats in your home and right in the middle on the backplate there's a little level so you can get it nice and straight when you mount it on the wall the the unit itself literally just plugs right into this backplate all you have to do is remove your existing thermostat put this up follow the instructions to get all the wires and the right holes and then the nest is just going to clip right in it'll work like such it's a great thermostat it has a remote app that lets you tie in together all of your different nest products scheduling on this is really easy to do Wi-Fi compatible and a whole bunch of other great features with it the downside to this though is that it's not actually compatible with the Honeywell lyric at least not at this time we have heard that there are rumblings that they're going to make it home kit compatible in the future but we don't have a timetable on that yet and there's actually no way to even interface it with the system yet systems that we do sell that is compatible with our alarm.com systems and it learns right into the app and actually integrates in the program so you don't have to do anything else you'll actually see the thermostat in your app the gc3 is great to use with it the Qualis IQ 2 is another great system to use with it really any system that's alarm comm it's going to work with this thermostat if you do have one with your lyric as it's such a great thermostat if you're okay with using two apps it may be the recommended thing to do as it is an expensive thermostat too and it's going to be pricey to replace it but there's no way to interface it with the system at least not yet so that's the the lyric thermostat lick and nest thermostat compatibility thanks for watching if you did like the video please hit subscribe and if you want to be notified of new videos that we do post hit the notification button and you'll be updated when we do when we do upload them thanks for visiting head over to the website alarmgrid comm if you have any questions and have a great day
