Some more help needed please as I can’t get to grasps with it my Evohome! I think I understand the concept of it as I had a programmable thermostat in my previous home and I know that the system is not off or on. (BTW, I like to think that I am a bit of a techie so want to get to grips with this)
I have checked and all radiators work by:-
a. Manual override
b. Control panel
All room doors closed.
Firstly – am I right in thinking that if you use the manual override on the HR92 then this takes precedence over the programming (ie even if you pass a setpoint in the programme times the temperature will not change until you turn the HR92 back.)
My system appears to have a mind of its own as the temperatures on the controller do not match the room temperature. I have stood a thermometer next to where the HR92 is and there can be a difference of at least 3 degrees, for instance air temp is 16 degrees (and feels 16 degrees) but the controller is reading 18.5C so the radiator is therefore not kicking in.
For instance, this morning (all radiators are set at 10C during the night) The bathroom and hall were set to 19C at 6am. Heard the hall valve turn at about 5.50am so all good. (Both bathroom and hall radiators were hot at 6am) BUT the kitchen radiator was also on. I checked the HR92 display and checked the controller and neither had been overridden.
Last night –
kitchen reading 21.5C on the controller,
sitting room reading 18.5 on controller (smallish room with door shut and large flat screen TV on so room felt at least 22C )
hall reading 19C but more like 16C
Can someone guide me through how to check that everything as it should be.
I suppose my goal is how can I get each room to be at an optimum temperature at least in the evening to stop my husband moaning that it is too cold!
