Honeywell Lyric Roundchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Setting up the Lyric Round is where many owners hit a wall. Multiple comments describe the app declaring the thermostat 'already registered' when adding a new phone or inheriting a unit from a previous owner, with a factory reset failing to resolve it. Others report WiFi pairing stuck on 'please wait' screens for hours, reset buttons that do nothing even after restarting phones, and registration steps that loop endlessly without letting the setup finish.

Once running, the app's reliability becomes the bigger worry. One owner says the app dropped connection entirely, leaving the AC running unchecked at 88 degrees after only a few months of ownership. Another, after three years of use, calls the app unreliable most of the time and reports the units complaining of low battery even after trying three different lithium-ion batteries, planning to replace the thermostats soon.

Feature gaps and platform support leave some questions unanswered. A user who has programmed an entire smart house still finds the installer mode painfully unfriendly when trying to add humidity control. Another comment notes the thermostat cannot be set up with Apple HomeKit due to persistent errors. Additional unanswered questions about 2-wire compatibility, run indicators, and child lockout suggest documentation gaps.
