NEW YORK, June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- CEA LINE SHOW
-- For busy parents who can't be two places at once, the next best
thing is a home that can tell you what's going on with it, and can
be controlled with a smartphone, tablet or other web-enabled
device. This week, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) is rolling out two new
security and home automation products to make homes smarter: LYNX
Touch 5100 and Tuxedo Touch Wi-Fi home controller.

Both products, the latest in Honeywell's "connected home"
portfolio, are being showcased during CE Week, a weeklong gathering
of consumer electronics brands, people and events.
The expansion of Honeywell's connected home portfolio, which
also includes programmable thermostats and applications to remotely
manage comfort and security, is being fueled in part by the
proliferation of smartphones, owned by nearly half of U.S. mobile
phone subscribers, according to Nielsen.
"Smartphones, tablets and other web-enabled devices are
empowering families to connect to and control their homes like
they've never been able to before, saving time and money and
bringing peace of mind," said Ron
Rothman, president of Honeywell Security Group."With these
security and automation systems, you can disarm the security system
for a child returning home from school, turn up the air
conditioning on the way home from work, and watch as a package is
delivered to your front door."
Homebuilders are reporting increases in the demand for home
technology, with energy management and home automation systems
installations at all-time highs, according to recent data from the
Consumer Electronics Association.
Both the LYNX Touch 5100 and Tuxedo Touch Wi-Fi Touchscreen use
Z-Wave™ technology to communicate with other home devices such as
thermostats, lighting controls, shades and locks. The Honeywell
Total Connect™ remote interactive service and applications give
consumers access to their security systems from internet-enabled
devices including smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
Honeywell is demonstrating these products at booth #49 at the
CEA Line Show June 27-28 in
New York.
