Overview
ButterflyMX integrates with select Honeywell Wi-Fi smart thermostats via the First Alert App, giving property managers and residents a seamless way to monitor and control climate — all from the ButterflyMX OS and mobile app they already use.
Property managers can oversee all units from a single dashboard, set temperature limits, configure vacant unit defaults, and automate schedules without ever entering a unit. Residents control their thermostat directly from the ButterflyMX mobile app.

⚠️ Not sure about your HVAC system? Check the existing thermostat wiring or consult a licensed HVAC technician before ordering hardware.
Infrastructure Requirements
C-Wire: Required for both the T6 and T10. If no C-wire is present, a C-wire adapter may be an option — consult your installer
Wi-Fi:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Frequency | 2.4 GHz |
| Security | WPA2 |
| SSID | Must be broadcast (no hidden networks) |
| Internet | Required — communicates with ButterflyMX and First Alert cloud |
💡 Ensure Wi-Fi coverage reaches thermostat locations in each unit. Weak signals can affect connectivity and data updates. Please note, thermostats do not need to be on the same network as other ButterflyMX devices.
