I have Evohome fitted at my property (has been fitted for past 12 months), I previously has British Gas Hive. What drew me to Evohome was the ability to see DHW termperature and the ability to add the wireless rad valves. I have a log burner in my front room, which is where my CH thermostat was, the front room would get hot with the burner on and therefore the rest of the house would be cold. With Evohome I have located the wireless control panel in the main bedroom and have HR92 wireless rad valves in the front room. I have a one zone CH setup. With my current Evohome setup the front room HR92s can be turned down when the log burner is running, so the room receives no CH heat but the rest of the house is warmed.
But I have a stupid problem! The damn Evohome controller is incredibly bright, even on night setting and on the lowest brightness setting (poor software design IMHO, there should be an option to turn the screen off at set times). To get over this I'm considering installing Honeywell's wireless thermostat in the main bedroom and use this for the CH zone control and moving the Evohome controller to another room. My question is, can the wireless thermostat be the CH zone control? Or does the Evohome controller need to be the CH zone control?
