Is running software/application in the Linux environment deem it a derivative work? Does Honeywell have to adhere to a GPL if they aren't modifying the Linux kernel?
It's not clear to me that they would need to follow GPL.

Of course. Honeywell can run their own proprietary applications on top of a Linux/GNU system. I didn't mean to imply that you could request the source code to every program running on the device.
However they need to provide the source code for any GPL licensed portions. IIRC they should also provide build scripts so you can create a firmware image yourself.
