WeatherBug Mobile App Now Integrates with Honeywell Lyric Smart Thermostat
App provides consumers with energy efficiency insights
GERMANTOWN, Md. — Earth Networks announced that the WeatherBug Home portion of its WeatherBug® mobile app now includes an integration with the Honeywell Lyric smart thermostat — enabling Honeywell customers to see how the latest weather conditions impact their personal energy use, costs, and comfort. The WeatherBug mobile app is one of the first integrations with the Honeywell Lyric application programming interface (API) through its recently announced Connected Home open API program.
On average, weather drives approximately 50 percent of a home’s energy use, said Earth Networks. By integrating WeatherBug’s real-time, hyper-local data and patent-pending algorithms, homeowners with Honeywell’s Lyric thermostat can see in real-time how weather affects their energy use. These insights can help consumers improve their energy efficiency, comfort, and cost savings.
