The Efficient Home Forum

It seems that my new ATC928G3000 arrived (from Evohome Shop) with a new Weather Compensation feature that I quickly lost access to. The controller had two options: Hot Weather compensation and Cold Weather compensation, with in-controller help for each one. The feature was called something like Weather Comfort or Weather Optimisation.

At around midnight last night, after just 12 hours ownership, the controller fully reset and put me back to the Welcome Wizard. I'd lost all the zones and relays I'd configured. Most significantly, the Weather Compensation is no longer present! After a quick Google and a check of the FAQ, it seems the feature does not officially exist!

I'm not sure if it's related but my controller arrived in Italian mode (I'm in the UK) and didn't present me with the expected Welcome Wizard. Unfortunately, I didn't check what firmware I was on before the reset, but afterwards, I'm on WiFi module: 02.00.17.00, Application module: 02.00.17.03 - which Honeywell suggest it the latest.

I can't be sure that the reset was not caused by the typical battery memory and the controller not being docked correctly.

So, did I have a pre-release firmware? Why did my controller reset itself? Did Honeywell force a roll-back? Does Italian language mode enable this feature?

It seems a shame, as the Weather Compensation Feature looks really useful. I enabled it for my two South-West facing rooms, which were already 4 degrees over temperature. On the controller, the configured rooms showed the set temperature to 5℃ instead of its configured schedule temperature, which I think is what open window detection does.

Hi,

As far as I know, Honeywell is working on a Evohome firmware update which will introduce some new fetures.
This "Weather Compensation/Optimisation" option you mention is one of the new features.

One can register to Honeywell beta testing program in order to early access to the new firmware.
It looks like this was the case with your Evehome controller.

Hope this answers your question.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. After I registered it online 'Optimisation' was replaced with something like 'Smart features' but then overnight it completely reset and that's gone. Oh well, I was a bit concerned it was some other kind of fault that made it reset and loose all the binding, hopefully it wont do it again and it's good that there is some hope for new features in the pipeline.

Yours,

Do you have any news about this feature?
Best Regards

It is being re-released soon as the 19.31 version had some bugs and is being replaced by 19.33.

Thank you for an update. Would it be any notificafion in the system after the update, that new feature is released? Or only way is to check it manually in regular basis?

And by the way, what is the last released version? I have just chcecked and mine is 17.03. Device is still connected to internet and has so old software version (?) Is this correct?

17.03 is the current stable release. 19.31 was beta test and 19.33 is the current (stable) beta firmware.

HI,
Is there any update, when new features will be available for all users?

I refresh the topic.
Is there any new information, when firmware with new features will be distributed to all users?
