Is is necessary to have both the Apple home app and the Honeywell lyric app installed. They both seem to do the same thing. Thank you.

    Hello TonyLinguini,


    Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. I know how important using the Home app with your devices is to you! Based on what you stated, it seems you have both the Home app on your iPhone and the Honeywell app for your devices working to control your devices, but they both seem to have the same functionality. Which app is up to you, but using the Home app will get you features like organizing your accessories by room, managing multiple accessories at the same time, controlling your home with Siri, and more. Here are some great resources that explain the functionality of the Home app:
