I’d be interested in a fully assembled unit, Bruce, as I’ve just made the jump to Home Assistant and would be interested in the additional capabilities this would bring over the API integration.
When my flow temperature is within the tolerance and no additional heat is needed it displays 40C and number 1 as the pump is running but the burner is off. Once the heat demand is satisfied, I.e....
I think that homebridge addresses exactly this problem. I find it really useful running in the background to pull it all together in one place. I now have voice control of anything in SmartThings...
Have you tried Homebridge? I’ve had great success with SmartThings in it. I tried the Evohome plugin briefly but didn’t need it as I already had Evohome control through SmartThings.
One of the reasons that I first bought Evohome was the promised future integration with SmartThings. This never happened but thankfully someone else developed an unofficial integration using the API....
We have curtains in the front of the house and I tried to use the Indiegogo project MOVE, to operate them. This is a battery powered, bluetooth motor. I bought one to try it out and it did move the...
I’ve done everything described here (with the exception of curtain control which appears to be very expensive) using SmartThings with a combination of Fibaro dimmers and Hue bulbs in table lamps....
Slightly different problem here. For the last few days, every time I’ve looked at the Evotouch, it’s said the outside temp is 13C. Having just out of the car, where the temp was reading 17C, it was...
I was also under the impression that it would allow Evohome to reduce the requested flow temperature at higher outside temperatures, greatly reducing the chance of overshoots. We have a couple of...
Andy,
There was discussion in another thread about whether outside temperature passed over OpenTherm by the boiler was now being accepted by Evohome. I have just had an Intergas EcoRF 36 fitted...
Robin,
Thanks a lot. Yesterday I re-fitted an HR92 that I'd removed part way through the build of our extension after I noticed that the not very delicate builders had knocked the front panel...
Andy,
Thanks for the response. I don't see how this could be happening only to one zone if it's coming from the app. You can't apply a quick action to a a single zone. I'll look at my...
I looked at them in the last few weeks. As far as audio quality is concerned, I believe that Lithe are pretty good. However, my point about multi room audio with AirPlay is correct, which is what I...
PM sent. Its NE facing
I have turned off the cold weather boost and this has stopped the set point changing to 5C, but I'm still seeing the 35C set point occurring.

As an aside, have you fixed the bug where if...
I considered these but they’re not AirPlay 2, so don’t work for multi room audio. Instead I bought a second hand Airport Express as Airplay 2 has just been added to these, connected up an old amp and...
Andy,
I’m actually seeing this behaviour all the time on this zone. Whenever it should start heating for optimisation, the setpoint changes to 5C until the actual setpoint change. Are you aware of...
I'm seeing some strange behaviour for Optimisation. When we're off work, using a combination of Google Calendar, IFTTT and SmartThings I have Evohome setup to start the Day Off quick action at 0200....
There was some fantastic work done a couple of years ago that resulted in Python scripts to do various things, including back up. See at the link. ...
Pete,
What conclusion did you come to with this? Our extension has just started and I'm trying to work out how to integrate Evohome with underfloor heating and Amtico flooring.

Andy,
I've never seen a tutorial to do it all. Are you a SmartThings user? If so its quite simple. I added the dimmer with a custom device handler but I think that it may now be available as...
Andy,
I’ve done exactly this in 3 rooms. I use a Fibaro Dimmer 2 and retractive switch at the wall. I then use SmartThings to control all the lights. The Fibaro dimmers send scene IDs to...
I’ve used a combination of Hue bulbs in the lamps and a Fibaro dimmer behind the light switch to do exactly this in 3 rooms. The dimmer can use scenes depending on the number of clicks of a rocker...
I seem to be able to use the app normally but everytime I try to do something with SmartThings I’m receiving an alert for failed system or zone changes.
