Confused about settings displayed in Zone Configuration

Post by deeky »

Hi, I'm new to Evohome and this forum.

I have the ATC928G3000 and 6 x HR92 across 5 rooms. I have the Evohome controller set as sensor in the kitchen as the HR92 is a bit enclosed so is warmer than the actual room. In zone configuration it says:

Kitchen -
'Heating Type - Radiator valve
Temp Sensor - Evotouch sensor.

3 other rooms, all with just one HR92 all say:
Heating type - Radiator valve
Temp sensor - remote sensor

The last (living) room has the sole HR92 tucked away in a nice cosy corner, so again, is warmer than the actual room, so I bought and connected at DTS92E. It all seems connected ok but in Zone Configuration it also states:
Heating type - radiator valve
Temp sensor - remote sensor

I would say that is correct but the 3 other rooms, all with just a single HR92 also say 'temp sensor - remote sensor'.

How can it say remote sensors when the only sensors are on the HR92s themselves?

Have I set them up right? I'm not actually sure because my head is in a bit of a whirl at the moment :D

Any advice or (preferably) reassurance will be gratefully received :D

'Remote Sensor' indicates that the sensor being used is external from the evohome Controller itself and the term applies to any remote sensor being used... 8-)

Ahh, so not remote from the HR92 itself, just remote from the controller?

That makes sense, thank you. I was a bit worried as it all seems to be working as intended but what I was seeing just made me a little uncertain.
