In 2007, Jerry Drew, founder of Network Thermostat (NetX), suddenly began getting phone calls from people saying they were from Honeywell Middle East. Mystery surrounded this: Honeywell wouldn’t tell them what the project was that they wanted to talk with him about but they needed more information on his line of networked thermostats. The calls persisted for six months, but no information was revealed. Thinking it was a scam or someone trying to steal his technology, he told them he wasn’t interested. The calls stopped.

The project manager insisted that it was a very large – and in fact, real – project and it was his job to get Jerry and the NetX team onboard.
