Power up the detector
It is important to install the app before you
install the batteries.
After the batteries are installed, the
detector will begin attempting to pair with
the app immediately.
If you are installing multiple detectors,
the easiest way to do it is to install the
batteries in one leak detector at a time.
If you have more than one leak detector
attempting to pair with the app, you will
see multiple MAC IDs listed in the app.
Remove the battery cover and the batteries
to see the detector’s MAC ID label.
The detector is powered by 3 AA batteries (included). Open the battery cover on the
detector and install the batteries.
1 Remove the battery cover from the detector.
2 Install the 3 AA alkaline batteries (included).
3 Replace the battery cover. Press firmly around the edges to ensure a snug fit.
Note: The cable sensor jack is NOT for plugging in a power adaptor. Plugging in a
power adaptor could damage the detector.

Pair and name your detector
1 Under Add New Device, select Lyric
Water Leak and Freeze Detector.
Note: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on
your mobile device.
2 Provide a location for your detector.
Press NEXT.
3 The detector will now pair with the app.
Note: If you have more than one detector,
you will need to connect each detector
individually.
4 An audible alert will sound and your
detector’s LED will turn solid blue to
indicate your detector is paired. Press
NEXT.
5 Create a custom name for the detector or
select one from the list. Press NEXT.

7 For help, go to getconnected.honeywell.com
Connect to Wi-Fi
1 Choose your network from the list. Press
NEXT.
2 Enter your Wi-Fi password, if necessary.
Press NEXT.
3 When connected to Wi-Fi, the LED will
turn solid green for 5minutes, then turn
o to preserve battery life.
Note: After you connect the detector to your
Wi-Fi network the first time, if you remove
and replace the detector’s batteries, it will
reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically.
Configure
Continue to follow instructions in the app to configure
your detector. Set the high and low levels for humidity and
temperature warnings, and identify the people you want notified
in case of an alarm. These settings can be updated at any time
using the app.

Placement
The detector can simply be placed on a flat surface or used with the optional cable
sensor to hang from a wall or be arranged on the ground. For wall mounting, use the
included screw and hang the detector on the mounting keyhole.
If the detector is placed on the floor, be sure the
sensors have good contact with the floor. If you
expect a large flooding in the area where you
install your Lyric W1 water leak detector that
could submerge the unit, consider hanging it on
the wall (with provided screw and wall plug), and
using the included 1.2m cable sensor for water
detection. To cover an even larger area, purchase
additional cable sensors to extend your coverage.
Optional cable sensor
To install the optional cable sensor, remove the sensor jack plug and insert
the cable sensor. Insert the sensor jack plug at the end the cable sensor.
Additional cable sensors (sold separately) can be connected to extend the
cable and increase water sensing area.
The entire length of cable is an extended sensor. You can hang the detector
from the wall or place both the detector and cable sensor on the floor.
Note: The cable sensor jack is NOT for plugging in a power adaptor. Plugging
in a power adaptor could damage the detector.

The detector is connected.
The detector is designed to “sleep” most of the time, only “waking up” when it senses
water or indoor temperature or humidity that could be harmful to the building.
Follow instructions in the app to configure your detector. You can set the high and
low levels for humidity and temperature warnings, and identify the people you want
notified in case of an alarm.
If you remove and replace the detector batteries, the detector will reconnect to your
Wi-Fi network automatically when you install new batteries.
In case of an alert
To preserve battery life, it can take up to 1minute for the detector to sense a leak.
You can mute the detector by pressing the Mute button in the app or removing the
batteries or cable sensor from the detector. The mute command may take up to
1minute to reach the detector.
After you’ve addressed the cause of the alert, wipe dry the detector and cable sensor
and put them back in place. Replace batteries if they were removed.

Configure the detector
Selections you make here will determine how often the detector will send
temperature and humidity readings to the app. They will also determine when and
how you receive notifications for
temperature or humidity alerts.
No matter what settings you select,
you will always be notified of
temperature/humidity conditions and
water leaks if they occur.
1 Select how often you want the
detector to send updates to the
app. More communications per day
reduces battery life.
2 Select Fahrenheit or Celsius for
temperature displays.
3 Select the alert levels you want for
temperature or keep the default
settings. The detector will notify
you of temperatures below the low
temperature setting or above the
high temperature setting.
4 Select the alert levels you want
for humidity the same way you
selected them for temperature.
5 When you are done, press NEXT.

alerts, press the Who else should
receive emails? text box.
4 Select the contact from your
address book.
5 Continue to add contacts until you
are done.
6 If you want to remove contacts,
press the next to their name.
7 Press Finish.
