Resideo Technologies has received two 2026 IoT Breakthrough Awards for its smart home products. The awards went to the Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat and the First Alert CX4 video cameras. These products are part of Resideo’s focus on home comfort, safety, and security. The company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol REZI. The IoT Breakthrough Awards program is now in its tenth year and is known for recognizing products and companies that stand out in connected technology.
The Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat is designed to manage home heating and cooling through connected controls. It links into the home network and gives users more control over temperature settings through digital tools. The thermostat is part of the Honeywell Home X Series Elite line, which targets homeowners who want more control over comfort while using connected features. The award points to the role of smart thermostats in making it easier to manage indoor climate through phones and other connected devices, and to tie comfort preferences to daily routines.
The First Alert CX4 video cameras are part of Resideo’s connected security line. These cameras connect through the home network so users can view live or recorded video from different locations. The CX4 series is designed for both indoor and outdoor surveillance, depending on the model, and can be integrated into broader home security setups that may include alarms and other sensors. The IoT Breakthrough Award for these cameras draws attention to the use of connected video products for everyday home monitoring and security.
The IoT Breakthrough Awards program looks at a wide number of entries from different sectors of Internet of Things technology. Its categories cover consumer devices, smart home systems, industrial tools, and other connected products. Being selected for an award places Resideo’s thermostat and camera line in a group of products that judges see as notable in their fields. The recognition ties to how these products use connected features to support comfort and security without requiring heavy technical knowledge from the user.
Resideo’s role with both Honeywell Home and First Alert brands shows how the company brings different parts of home systems together through connected platforms. Homeowners can build setups that mix comfort controls like the X8S thermostat with monitoring tools like the CX4 cameras. This can give a single view of what is happening in the home, from temperature and energy use to security status. The awards call attention to Resideo’s position in the smart home market and the way its products fit into the broader use of Internet of Things technology within the home.
As the IoT Breakthrough Awards move through their tenth year, recognition for products like the Honeywell Home X8S and First Alert CX4 series signals where connected home technology is heading. For homeowners, it points to a growing range of products that connect comfort, safety, and security into one system. For Resideo, the two awards add third-party validation for its approach to product design and connected home solutions, and mark its ongoing role in developing tools for smart home use.
