How do I reset the Wi-Fi on my Lyric?
The simplest way to reset the Wi-Fi on your Lyric thermostat is to do it manually. Please follow the instructions on the video below for a visual guide on how to complete this procedure.
You can also reset the Wi-Fi on your Lyric by following these steps:
If you have a Round thermostat, press and hold the Weather icon on the thermostat for approximately 5 seconds, as seen in the image below. This will remove the thermostat from the Wi-Fi network and enable you to go through the Wi-Fi connection process with your new router. Your previous Lyric settings will be retained.
If Lyric is not finding the home Wi-Fi network, please note that Lyric operates in the 2.4GHz range. That may be why the thermostat does not see the network but the smartphone, which operates in both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz range, sees the network. Most routers will broadcast two networks, one SSID on the 5.0 GHz radio and one SSID on the 2.4 GHz radio.
In a home that does not have Wi-Fi, Lyric can still work, but as a basic thermostat. However, please note that key features, including location based temperature control and custom shortcuts, require a Wi-Fi connection.
Why should I pair my Lyric Round thermostat with the Lyric Controller?
You can easily control the Lyric thermostat, as well as other smart home devices, from the Lyric Controller interface. Automate smart scenes for energy savings, comfort and security while managing your Lyric Round locally, from the Controller’s interface, or remotely, from your Total Connect Comfort app.
How do I setup and configure my Lyric Round thermostat using the Lyric
app?
Once a Lyric account is created, open the Lyric app using a smart phone or tablet and login. Select Add New Device, and select Lyric Round Thermostat. Follow the prompts within the Lyric app in order to complete the configuration and connection of the device.
For more information, please watch this instructional video:
How does the Lyric Controller work with the Lyric Round Thermostat?
The Lyric Controller allows you to manage your smart home devices, including your Lyric thermostat. Once paired together, all Lyric thermostat functions can be operated from the Controller’s interface.
How do I know if my old thermostat contains mercury?
The thermostat will have a glass tube with a silver liquid inside of the tube.
Mercury is typically found in older mechanical thermostats like the Honeywell
Round T87 and rectangular T8090.
NOTE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in
a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at http://www
.thermostat-recycle.org/ or
1-800-238-8192 for information on how
and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.
How do I replace the lithium AAA battery on the Lyric Round?
Remove the thermostat from the sub base. If the sub base is securely connected to the wall, the face plate will disconnect if pulled straight out from the wall. Remove the current battery and replace it with a new AAA lithium battery (make sure the battery polarity matches the markings on the sub base). Reconnect the face plate to the sub base and make sure the connection is secure.
How do I choose how many cycles per hour I need?
Cycles per hour (cycle rate) is a measure of how many times per hour your heating or cooling system will turn on and off. You do not need to select a cycle rate as part of setting up your Lyric; it will automatically suggest a cycle rate appropriate for your system based on the information you provide. If you wish to manually adjust your cycle rate, tap Advanced Configuration.
What is a c-wire? Do I need one? What if I don’t have a c-wire?
What is a C-Wire?
A common wire (C-Wire) provides Wi-Fi thermostats continuous power by connecting it to a heating and cooling system (e.g. furnace). C-Wires are required on most Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats, with the exception of the Smart Round Thermostat (formerly known as the Lyric Round). C-Wires are required on all Honeywell Home / Resideo Wi-Fi thermostats. For full wiring assistance/terminal designations/functions: Click here
How do I check if my thermostat is using a C-Wire?
1. Turn off power
To protect your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls your furnace or heating equipment.
Note: Turning off your thermostat won’t turn off the power to the furnace or heating equipment.
2. Check that your system is off
Change the temperature on your existing thermostat so that your system starts heating or cooling. If you don’t hear or feel the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off.
Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step.
3. Remove your existing thermostat from the wall plate
On most thermostats, you can take off the thermostat by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps.
Note: Don’t remove any wires from your thermostat at this time.
4. Do you have a C-Wire?
Look at the existing wall plate’s wiring: is there a wire in the C-Terminal?
YES – This means your thermostat is using a C-Wire.
NO – This means your thermostat isn’t using a C-Wire. Please view next question to learn what to do if your thermostat is missing a C-Wire.
If you’re installing a new thermostat, but your existing one is missing a C-Wire, you have the following options:
Check for Unused C-Wire
Some homes have an unused C-Wire hidden in the wall. To check for an unused C-Wire:
1. Turn off power
To protect your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls you heating and cooling equipment.
Note: The thermostat off switch won’t turn off the power to the equipment.
2. Check that your system is off
Change the temperature on your existing thermostat so that your system starts heating or cooling. If you don’t hear or feel the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off.
Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step.
3. Remove your existing thermostat from the wall plate
On most thermostats, you can take off the thermostat by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps.
Note: Don’t remove any wires from your thermostat at this time.
4. Do you have a line voltage system?
Line voltage systems have thick, black wires with wire nuts, or are labeled high voltage (120V or higher).
YES – Your system may not compatible. Contact Support at 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro-installer in your area.
NO – Continue to the next step.
5. Take a picture of your existing wall plate’s wiring
Make sure you get a good view of all terminals. You may need to reference this image later.
6. Remove any jumpers
A jumper is used to connect two terminals. It may look like a small staple or colored wire.
Note: Don’t discard any jumpers.
7. Label wires
Label each wire on your existing wall plate with the stickers provided with your new thermostat. If you don’t have stickers, you can use tape and a pen.
Note: Don’t label jumpers.
8. Write down the colors of the wires
Check the boxes and write down the color of the wires connected to terminals in the existing wall plate. Check all that apply (not all will apply).
Note: If there are wires in terminals that aren’t listed, you will need additional wiring support. Contact Support at 1-855-733-5465.
9. Disconnect the wires and remove the existing wall plate
Some wire terminals are “push-in” type (gently push on the terminal to release the wire), and some are flat-head screws. You may need a screwdriver to release wires from terminals.
Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling into the wall.
10. Do you have a C-Wire?
This is to confirm that your system isn’t using a C-Wire. Look at the thermostat wiring checklist from Step 8: is the C-Terminal checked? Alternatively, you can look at the photo from Step 5: is there a wire in the C-Terminal?
YES – This means your thermostat is using a C-Wire, and you don’t need to install a C-Wire Adapter. You can continue installing your new thermostat.
NO – This means your thermostat isn’t using a C-Wire. Continue to the next step.
Go to your furnace or heating system
This system is often located in your basement, attic, or garage.
11. Do you have a zoning panel?
Your zoning panel is often mounted to the ducting on your furnace. It typically has a bundle of wires that runs to your heating/cooling system, and smaller bundles of wires that run to dampers on your ductwork.
YES – C-Wire Adapter installation is more complicated for zoned systems. Contact Support at 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro-installer in your area.
NO – Continue to the next step.
Return to your existing thermostat
12. Do you have an unused wire?
You previously removed your existing wall plate. Look at the bundle of wires coming from the wall.
Note: You may have to pull the bundle of wires out from the wall to find the unused wire.
YES – You can use this unused C-Wire. Continue to Step 13.
NO – Since you don’t have C-Wire, you need to use a C-Wire Adapter. Continue to the Use C-Wire Adapter section.
13. Label unused wire
Label your unused wire with the “C” sticker provided with your new thermostat. If you don’t have stickers, you can use tape and a pen. You may need to use a wire stripper to expose at least 1/4 inch of wire.
Note: If you have multiple unused wires, then label only one wire and make note of the color.
Go to your furnace or heating system
This system is often located in your basement, attic, or garage. Bring a flashlight and screwdriver.
14. Remove cover from furnace or heating system
Open the heating and cooling system’s cover to find the control board. The control board may be at the top or the bottom. You should see the same terminal labels that are on your thermostat.
Note: If you don’t see a control board, your system may not be compatible. Contact Support at 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro-installer.
15. Find the other end of the unused wire
In Step 12, you found a bundle of wires near your existing thermostat. Locate the other end of this bundle near your furnace or heating system, and then find the unused wire.
Note: The unused wire should be the same color as the one near your existing thermostat. See Step 13 for the color you wrote down.
16. Connect the unused wire to the C-terminal in the control board
Note: If there are existing wires in the C-terminal, make sure they are still connected after connecting the unused wire.
17. Close the cover to the furnace or heating system
Be sure the cover is completely closed. Some systems won’t power up if the cover isn’t fully closed.
Congratulations, you’ve connected an unused C-Wire! You won’t need to use a C-Wire Adapter. You are now complete.
Use C-Wire Adapter
A C-Wire Adapter replaces the need for a C-Wire. The C-Wire Adapter is included in newer Honeywell Wi-Fi Thermostats. If you own an older thermostat model, you can purchase a C-Wire Adapter here.
To use a C-Wire Adapter:
18. Do you have a G and Y wire?
In Step 7, you labeled the wires of your existing wall plate. Look at those wires and make sure you have both a G and Y labeled.
YES – This means your system is compatible with the C-Wire Adapter. Continue to the next step.
NO – Your system is not compatible with the C-Wire Adapter. Contact Support at 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro-installer.
19. Relabel your G-Wire to “C”
Relabel your G-Wire with the “C” sticker provided with your new thermostat. If you don’t have stickers, you can use tape and a pen.
20. Relabel your Y-Wire to “K”
Relabel your Y-Wire with the “K” sticker provided with your new thermostat. If you don’t have stickers, you can use tape and a pen.
Go to your furnace or heating system
This system is often located in your basement, attic, or garage. Bring a flashlight, labels, phone, and screwdriver.
21. Remove cover from furnace or heating system
