I have had a chance to have a quick play with IFTTT and Evohome tonight and I am afraid I have got rather excited. As hubby is retired, the house is not empty during the day at specific times so haven't really had a chance to sent some meaningful schedules. Son has just started working shifts and I was reprogramming the controller weekly if I remembered.
BUT
I have managed to set up a 'recipe' linked to my google calendar to set a zone to 'come on' for an hour. I have set a key phrase of 'Day Shift' in my calendar as the trigger. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it does work in the morning. Presumably then I will have to set separate ones for each zone, ie bathroom and kitchen.
Once I get me phone back I will try the geofencing but I guess that I will probably struggle as son & I have iPhones and hubby has an android.
