Resideo Unveils Honeywell Home X2S Smart Thermostat at CES 2025
At the CES 2025 technology expo, Resideo Technologies introduced its latest innovation, the Honeywell Home X2S smart thermostat. This cutting-edge device is designed to enhance home comfort while providing users with significant energy savings and accessibility features. Available to consumers in the U.S. and Canada this spring for an MSRP of $79.99, the new thermostat integrates seamlessly with smart home ecosystems.
Energy Efficiency and User-Friendly Features
According to Pat Tessier, Vice President of Product Development at Resideo, the Honeywell Home X2S is tailored for individuals seeking to upgrade their home’s thermostat without feeling overwhelmed by smart technology. The device is Matter-enabled, ensuring compatibility with widely used platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. This connectivity allows users to conveniently manage their thermostat settings through the First Alert app, providing a cohesive experience across devices.
One of the standout features of the X2S is its energy efficiency capabilities. Resideo's studies show that users of Honeywell Home thermostats typically achieve an average energy reduction of 22% for heating and 17% for cooling by utilizing the scheduling feature effectively. This means that by adopting a consistent routine, households can significantly lower their HVAC-related energy consumption, which is not only cost-effective but also beneficial for the environment.
Simplified Installation and Monitoring
Another important aspect of the Honeywell Home X2S is its ease of installation and use. Made with the renowned Honeywell Home Thermostat Technology, the X2S includes a user-friendly UWP mounting plate that simplifies transition between different thermostatic devices. This aspect is especially crucial since consumer research indicates that nearly half of homeowners prefer professional installation for their thermostats. Resideo partners with independent HVAC specialists who can facilitate the setup of various Honeywell Home smart devices, including the X2S, to enhance indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring and diagnostics.
The thermostat features a bright, large display for easy navigation, allowing users to set their schedules directly on the device or via the app effortlessly. Additionally, the X2S provides insights into indoor air quality by monitoring humidity levels and alerting users when it’s time to change air filters. This proactive approach helps maintain a healthy living environment while optimizing system performance.
Availability and Future Outlook
The Honeywell Home X2S is set to be available this spring at various home improvement retailers, making it easily accessible for consumers wanting to improve their thermostat systems. With its competitive pricing, advanced features, and compatibility with various HVAC systems, the X2S is positioned as an attractive option for both new users and existing Honeywell Home fans.
