NorthStar Alarm Becomes First Honeywell Dealer to Provide the New Lyric Home Security Line

NorthStar Alarm is the first dealer in the industry to announce that it will provide the new Honeywell Lyric home security line, the next generation of smart technology in the security and connected home space.  The Lyric line features awareness cameras, motion, and smoke and intruder detectors, all of which integrate with a range of home automation products, including the popular smart thermostat.

“We have high expectations for the Lyric line and are excited to offer it to our customers,” said Jason Christensen, CEO of NorthStar. “Not only is the Lyric panel modern and attractive, but it introduces new technology that aligns with our mission to provide our customers with superior products and services.”

The new Lyric security panel boasts a sleek, touchscreen design and additional functionality, including an integrated video camera, two-way wireless sensors, and a voice command feature. Using just a few words, the voice feature can lock up the home and turn off the lights before heading to bed, or turn on the lights and adjust the room temperature when coming home.

“With Lyric, NorthStar will be delivering an entirely new security and connected home family of products that will work together seamlessly to provide homeowners with simple and intuitive control over their home, all with the same great user experience,” said Inder Reddy, president-Honeywell Security Products Americas.

NorthStar will begin offering the Lyric line to customers this summer, following the product announcement this week at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
