Honeywell Home evohome | Creating an evohome heating zone with evohome HR92 Radiator Controllers

[@TheTheKula]

Impressive. Learnt in hard way through Trail and error.. good to go through he parameters of HR92 as well as supporting Windows Open, Full stroke etc,

[@waksi123]

Life Saver! At wits end as changed a radiator and it knocked the whole heating system out. Boiler was not linking with receiver either. Followed your video did a factory reset and setup everything up again. Heating working flawlessly. Thank you!

[@MWPHS]

Glad it helped! :)

[@scoobydoono1]

Brilliant video. So well explained! I have been using a hr92 as a room sensor with mixed effects for about 5 years now and when looking into separate air temp monitors I stumbled across this. So informative and helpful!

[@MWPHS]

Glad it helped!

[@carlnash7847]

Great video, I have this system in my house and now have the answers to all of my questions, thank you

[@MWPHS]

Great to hear!

[@colinbermingham9688]

Thank you Richard. Finally clear instructions how to set up Evohome and it's from your company not Honeywell. The instruction manual is a joke and there is hardly any help available on the web. I bought the Honeywell Evohome from your compay as my previous controller was Honeywell equipment, but the instructions are almost non existent, except for the excellent service from Tom at MWPHS. The APP is about as clear as mud with very confusing terminology. In my previous life I was an electrician and nearly everything in the house is controlled by Alexa so I don't consider ignorant of programming things myself but I have to say am struggling to get to grips with this system, no thanks to Honeywell. My heating engineer is equally perplexed so these videos are like a breath of fresh air. I am now considering doing a factory reset and starting again following your instructions. My situation at the moment is that my water heating works perfect with the boiler switching on and off at the set times, however the heating has been set to a schedule,but neither switches on or off at the set times and I have to manually switch it by the controller or the app on my phone. To add to my woes, I have to return a HR 91 as it will no longer bind and Tom has sent me the return pack but suggested ringing Honeywell first, but based on past experience, I'm not looking forward to that. Sorry for the lengthy response. Are you planning on any more videos soon? Thank you so much for your help Richard. Colin.

[@MWPHS]

More videos coming soon! Apologies for the lack of support from Resideo, but their technical support should now be quite good. Just make sure you contact 0300 130 1299 and choose option 3. The other options may not give such good support! Again, thanks for your purchase!

[@busybee9929]

Great video so well explained I have managed to reset all the devices in our home after something went wrong, now for some unknown reasons the hot water water switch on the boiler cuts off it reads it is on on the screen but no hot water feeds to the rads we seam to go up and down to the loft morning and evening

[@MWPHS]

Thanks for you feedback! :) Any evohome issues, please give technical support a call on 0300 130 1299 and they can assist you.

[@JaydeepLakkad]

Thanks Richard. Please also share how to connect the boiler water temperature kit with Evohome.

[@KarenNeville-b1v]

Thanks Richard I followed the instructions but had issues because the heating didn't turn off at the end of the schedule. Is this because my towel radiators are in a room without a sensor and so the heating will stay on all night for them?

[@MWPHS]

evohome can be configured lots of different ways, so without knowing exactly what you have done, it would be hard for me to comment. Having towel radiators open circuit shouldn't have any affect on the rest of the heating circuit. If you think something is wrong, simply contact Resideo evohome technical support on 0300 130 1299 option 3 and they can help.

[@dougking5023]

Great video - Can I use the Evohome controller as a time clock for an existing NuHeat underfloor heating system? The system currently has 7 dial room stats but no programer. I would not want the Evohome to control the temperature just the on/off timer. We currently have no way of turning off the heating without turning down the room stats. We already have an Evohome controlling the upstairs radiators and the hot water.

[@MWPHS]

Unfortunately not. evohome works on a time and temperature basis, so if you wanted UFH control, you would need replace your NuHeat control system the HCC100 and DT4R thermostats, but this would be a much better control system than NuHeat could develop.

[@csealby]

Hi brilliant video, I’m thinking of swapping my nest thermostats to these, I currently have a dual zone combi, so 2 nest stats, would I only need the one screen or would I need two controllers? How would my dual zone work ? Currently I have 11 rads (inc 2 towel rail) thanks in advance

[@MWPHS]

You would only need one evohome controller to cover up to 12 heating zones. If you have two zones the extra heating zone could be controlled via a DT4R and a BDR91 via the evohome controller. If you want smart TRV's on all radiators then you remove the existing zone valves and operate this way using the HR91 or HR92 as your zone controls.

[@valeriobuccirossi2717]

Thanks so much for the video! However, one thing is not clear to me: I have 2 zones with two solenoid valves to control to start and turn off the boiler. So I will buy 1 evo home; 2 wireless relays and 2 T87RF sensors. I don't necessarily need 2 HR92s? because in the video I seem to understand that in combination with a t87rf it is necessary to combine an hr92; instead I would like the t87rf sensors to control the two relays via the evohome. thanks in advance for your support

[@MWPHS]

Honeywell Home evohome can control zone valve controlled zones (what we call S Plan/S Plan Plus) or it can do individual rooms with radiator controllers (HR91/HR92). So yes what you want is possible.

[@johnbennett9127]

Great video but I need help 😂 How do I add 11 HR92 valves to a BDR91 and get it to control a zone valve to bring the boiler on with my S plan Thanks John

[@MWPHS]

Hi John, unfortunately that isn’t possible and you need to follow the correct installation diagram for evohome with HR91/HR92’s. I believe it is on page 46 of the evohome installation guide.

[@JoBritten-b8m]

Not sure if you can help please Richard, I recently replaced the batteries in the controller and all the rooms bar one disappeared. I managed to add them somehow but now the controller stared each room is not bound. Tried to follow this guide but only get a binding message and nothing happens. Sorry I really don’t have a clue and have spent hours trying to sort this out. If you could help that would be great, thank you Jo

[@MWPHS]

What batteries did you put in the controller? Should only be Ni-Mh batteries otherwise they will damage the evohome controller. Best thing to do is contact technical support and they should be able to support you with binding - 03001301299. 👍🏻

[@JoBritten-b8m]

Thanks very much for your help, I will check the batteries and contact support.

[@d3rb3d3uss]

Hi! Can you confirm whether the green light should or should not be on, on the BDR91, all the time? Or when should it be on?

[@MWPHS]

Green light will only be on when there is a heating demand, but when setpoint is nearly reached it might come on for a short duration and back off again.

[@roberts6583]

Hi, do I need to use the relay? I have a building with 8 rooms and each room has 2/3 zones and I’d like each room to be able to set their own temperatures, as the TRVs currently installed are inaccessible behind rad covers. So ideally each room would have a controller, sensor in each room and HR92s on each rad.. Do I need the relay for this, I’m not sure the WiFi would reach the boiler room. Hope this makes sense.

[@MWPHS]

Normally you would use the relay to control the heat source, otherwise the heat source would have to run 24/7 ready for when there was a demand.

[@markburton247]

Hello Richard, lovely videos can you do the Evo home HCC80RHCE80R Underfloor heating unit two the controller with the Y8 7RF Full set up from scratch please I am what find code should it be CEO or HE please, thank you, Mark

[@MWPHS]

Sorry I missed this Mark. With evohome you always bind with 'CO'. More videos coming soon!

[@salmanqayyum402]

Hi Richard when i turn hot water on. It also turns on heating. Because my appliance control set to wireless relay box. If i set this to none then my heating doesn't turn on when i change temperature from evohome

[@MWPHS]

This is the way evohome was designed to operate, so if you are fitting evohome with HR91/HR92 to an existing S Plan system, you have to configure evohome to the guide on page 46 of the evohome installation guide for it to operate correctly. Tech support is there to help - 0300 130 1299 and choose option 3.

[@AdydeAdy21]

How works when You have actuators on every circuit,TPI in every room?

[@MWPHS]

When you say actuators in every circuit, you mean HR91/HR92 on each radiator? The radiators controllers themselves are modulation TRV's (not on/off like TPI is), so they vary the amount of flow through the radiators to the required energy input of the room. The boiler is then controlled by TPI or with OpenTherm using a modulation algorithm for the correct amount of energy into the space heating circuit. Clever stuff! :)

@@AdydeAdy21 I had evohome controlling my UFH for many years very successfully. No longer use it as I have a heat pump on weather compensation on open loop UFH.

[@parbesali1986]

Can hr92 trv be connected via app on phone or is it only via the monitor? Thanks

[@MWPHS]

HR92's can only be connected to the evohome controller.

[@NorthLaker]

Im trying to create a new zone. I successfully biund the T87RF as the sensor. I then put the HR92 in bind mode (it says binfing, the signal simbol is flashing) and press the green button on thr evohome to bind thr actuator, but the actuator never recieves a signal. It stays on binding, and the evohome never days that it's been bound to an actuator.

[@MWPHS]

Two things to check. One you have chosen radiator valve for your zone and not zone valve or UFH. Then check the HR92 is not too close to the evohome controller when you are binding the two devices. If you need further evohome support, please contact 0300 130 1299.

[@NorthLaker]

@@MWPHS Sorry, I already solved it. Turns out I confused the sensor for the actuator.

[@anitajethwa9652]

My kid damaged one valve how do I now replace/sync the new one?

[@MWPHS]

We sell replacements online on The Smart Thermostat Shop. Once you have it call 0300 1301299 and choose option 3 and they will talk you though how to do it.
