Honeywell Home ElitePRO™ Smart Thermostat Earns Prestigious International Design Awards

Resideo’s Honeywell Home ElitePRO™ smart thermostat has been recognized with two prestigious global design honors:

• 2026 Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category. The Red Dot Design awards recognize products with outstanding design.
• 2026 iF Design Award in the Building Technology category. The iF Design Awards recognize products that demonstrate excellence in design, innovation, functionality, and user experience.

Together, these awards build on Honeywell Home’s 130-year legacy of products that combine trusted performance with thoughtful, user-focused design. The Resideo design team treats that heritage as a standard to live up to when creating the next generation of iconic solutions.

The ElitePRO smart thermostat exemplifies that approach with a thoughtful combination of premium design and functionality. Its customizable idle screen, displayed on Resideo’s largest touchscreen ever, goes beyond a static control panel for a personalized décor statement, offering several choices of design themes and color combinations. Customers can choose to display a five-day weather forecast, analog or digital clock options, or indoor air quality information. The look and feel of the screens range from dramatic and modern to understated and classic. Both the hardware and user experience are seamless and integrated into daily life alongside features like precision sensing, indoor air quality visibility, and proactive insights.

"The ElitePRO thermostat doesn't just control temperature – it's the heartbeat of the modern home, turning a functional thermostat into a personalized home companion," said Marty Ellingson, Senior Director and Head of Global Experience at Resideo. "It shapes comfort, reflects personal style and quietly drives efficiency behind the scenes. When design and intelligence come together, the entire home feels elevated, and we're proud to have that vision recognized on the global stage."

These honors underscore Resideo's commitment to developing smart home solutions that combine intuitive design, advanced functionality, and everyday comfort.
