Honeywell Home The Round, a round wall thermostat with a single turning dial

Beautifully made.
Never connected.

Thermostats, espresso machines and stereos with no Wi-Fi, no app and no account. Simple to use, and built to last.

Why Knob and Dial

Everything got connected. Nothing got simpler.
So we list the opposite.

  • Overconnected

    Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an app and an account, added to things that never needed them.

  • Overcomplicated

    Pairing screens and menus where a knob used to be. Simple things should be simple to use.

  • Not made to last

    If it needs an update every few months to keep working, it stops working when the updates do.
