How this automation works

Automatically adjust your Honeywell thermostat whenever you send a specific SMS from your Android device. This runs when your outgoing text matches a chosen keyword and updates your thermostat's temperature setting accordingly. Ideal for setting your home to Away or Comfort mode while on the go. Customize the message to fit your tone.
