Recent Installation

Hi all, installed evohome system last September and so far am very impressed with it. No complaints yet, except battery life of controller though this is not an issue as the app is decent.

I set up 12 TRVs and hot water as well. Plumber installed the Zone valve and ABV in an hour I wired in relay and installed the TRVs. Don’t be daunted by setting up yourself, it is really easy.

Couple of my suggestions for improvement:

1. Set up geofencing to numerous devices. This is a no brainer me as you don’t always remember to set to away every time u leave the house.
2. Set up a historian to allow for trending.
3. Allow zones to be brought on at a specific time. At present you can only immediately turn on with a timer for when to shut off.

Anyone else set this system up recently?

We setup systems daily.

1. You can use IFTTT and Life360 to give you geofencing over multiple devices - https://ifttt.com/
2. If you use Conrad Connect you can see temperature graphing and zone history - https://conradconnect.com/en
3. Not entirely sure what you mean by this? Do you mean set a certain override temperature at a certain time?

Thanks for that feedback. I’ll check out answers to 1 and 2. For 3 what I meant was is there any way to have the away function activating at a certain time. At the moment when you select it out with a schedule, it is activated immediately. Hope that makes sense.
