Hello,
Firstly,thanks for the solution,im very impressed.
However,i found that the main controller unit's battery depletes very quick,less than 12 hours and is making an annoying sound.
Found and i will order a wall mounted kit ( Honeywell evohome Wall Mounting Pack ATF600 ) for the controller but what can i do in meantime !?
If i will change the batteries with a more powerull ones,will it do the job !?
Thanks.
Internal battery draining too quick
Re: Internal battery draining too quick
The batteries I think are only designed to run the controller for 4-6hrs off its base, so you are doing well to get 12!
Mine came with a desk stand unit which you can sit the controller on and it will power, and charge the batteries. Did you not get one with yours?

Re: Internal battery draining too quick
As SplanK said, the evohome Controller is not designed to be an 'off the dock' device and batteries typically will last no longer than 4-6 hours when off the dock/wall mount due to the amount of RF signal transmitted during this time.
