Thanks for the tip Chris, it has rescued 3 units for me.

Wearing your electronics engineer hat do you know what is going on here? If e.g. the motor stops with the brushes intermittently out of...

Has anyone got a fix for the dreaded E3 fault? I imagine that something gets stuck mechanically. Any tips, even on how you open up the case? I have got three units with this fault (and had another...

Son installed the original Tado system (no zoning) after extensive benchmarking against Evohome, Hive and Nest. DIY installation instructions specific to his model of boiler made the job very easy....

Neither top brake in his reply or anyone else from...

It says so in the User Manual for the original monochrome controller and I for one feel cheated by the fact that no updates have ever been released.

Unfortunately I have had too many experiences of unexplained activation of the BDR91 when there is no heat demand to feel safe doing that.



Is this still true if you have turned off the Fail...

With you all the way on this one DBM.

I have a single button I can press to do this. My solution was to keep the original controller in circuit, above the evotouch in the hierarchy. The actual...

One good turn deserves another:

I wondered about that, but I would need to buy an ethernet hub as well as I have run out of ports, so that's two more boxes on the shelf in the office.

Is there any extra/different functionality...

Not really. I am already familiar with the colour controller UI (and have no interest in the smartphone app).

If I understand your original post correctly there is now a web browser interface (as...

Hi Rameses, now you are back online after the BH could you please let me know if there is a demo site?

At long last! Is there a demo available like the one here https://www.geniushub.co.uk/app/#/app/myHouse <g>? I would like to try before I splash out on a new web-enabled controller.

Well I am afraid after 40 years as a chartered EE I do blame the gear, because Honeywell could have chosen a more robust signalling protocol, could have designed a system capable of using repeaters...

Thanks for that, very helpful. From your explanation it sounds as though poor comms to this one zone is the usual state of affairs, however once every few days the HR80 gets a msge through but then...

Once again I have found the BRD91 activated when there was no heat demand programmed for any of the valves.

On looking in the Fault Log I discovered an interesting sequence of events:

There...

i've left the original 7-day timer in circuit (ironically also a Honeywell) precisely for this reason. Also it controls the h.w. perfectly satisfactorily, so saving the cost of a second BD91 and its...

There seems to be a lack of joined-up thinking at Vokera. I had a similar problem with our Mynute HE 12kW - as soon as I added the weather compensation it over-rode the temp setting even when there...

Thanks top brake

Thanks for your support Erik!

One of the most requested features in the debate over the last six months has been a facility to see which zone is calling for heat. It's disappointing to see the v3...

Never mind "expecting", the monochrome documentation actually stated that the product could/would be updated. I too am disappointed about all this.

My system has been set to Heating Off for the...

If it's a Yale alarm you probably have options to display on the control panel, dial out on the phone line and/or sound the siren if it detects interference at a level it thinks unacceptable. Maybe...

Just looked at my fault log too, on 23 April it shows a Batttery Low Fault for Bedroom 1a at 2201 followed by a Restore at 2204. Ten o'clock is the time that the heating is set to come on in the...

No, AFAIK you cannot do this, they are bound to the controller (or another central device e.g. a smart thermostat) but not to each other.



If the batteries are removed then comms with the...

If it is still a nuisance after the initial learning period try turning the optimisation off. G4RHL amongst others has found this makes the operation much less "fussy" without compromising the...

Not if you have the setup described by davidaj or bluemike. And if (like me) you have an oil boiler then you would want at least 3 mins and preferably 5 to get it up to working temperature to stave...
