Controls Representation

[simux]

I was wondering about the talent we have on HVAC Talk. It seems to me that pneumatics is well represented along with Johnson, Seimens, Trane etc... I was wondering about Honeywell, the "Big Red". It seems like you don't get many responses to Honeywell questions. We do have some people give responses, but not the numbers for other control lines. For example you ask a Metasys question and you get pages of responses. You ask a question about Honeywell and you can hear crickets. Are the Honeywell guys prohibited from sharing information or something?

I'm assuming this is coming from the fact no one responded to your question here:

EBI is a branch only product. There may be only a few Honeywell contractors who stuck around with SymmetrE (Basically EBI without security cameras / access control / fire alarm), but everyone else moved on to AX.

I just noticed we don't have the number of reponses on Honeywell that we do from other manufacturer lines. Then of course the conspiracy theory in me took over and I asked the question.

Hey Sinux. I did a large number of controls projects with a great team in AK in the 90's/2000 I remember the majority of buildings having Honeywell fire or controls. My point is that this does not reflex the rest of the country.

My limited 2 cents.........we do alot of integration into all the different manufactures. We are also a Honeywell dealer........with that said, Honeywell is by far the most difficult. Why?......because with out the original job/project file of 90% of the jobs, you are screwed. With out writing it from scratch.

Also in our area.......Honeywell has had a very small presence up to the point that AX became king.

I was under the impression that there were quite a few Honeywell systems installed all over the country in the 80's.

I also think most people moved on from pneumatics but quite a few people still respond to pneumatic questions. I thought maybe Honeywell prohibited their people from Hvac-Talk.

Still lots opf pneumatics around , not everyplace has upgraded to DDC . Honeywell has a forum site of their own that you can sign up for and many post on it.
