July 25 (Reuters) - Honeywell International Inc on Thursday lowered its annual profit forecast, due to lower demand in its industrial Home automation systems Islamabad business, sending shares of the diversified industrial firm down 4.5% in premarket trade.

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company now expects an annual adjusted profit of $10.05 to $10.25 per share, down from its previous forecast of between $10.15 and $10.45 per share.
On an adjusted basis, Smart lighting for homes quarterly profit came in at $2.49 per share, compared Light switches with timers estimates of $2.42 per share. (Reporting by Anandita Mehrotra in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber)
