Couple more things
Life360 is by far best way for mutli device geofencing for evohome.
Ifttt triggers. Coming soon. ;-)getconnected.honeywell.com | I work for Honeywell. Any posts I make are purely to help if I can. Any personal views expressed are my own

(And keep in one place as it buggers up the learning if you keep moving).

I notice the Honeywell Lyric thermostat available in the US, which offers features such as geofencing, outside temp/humidity consideration (the "fine tune" feature) and likely Apple HomeKit integration. Are Honeywell US and Honeywell Europe separate entities, or can any of the work from Lyric be leveraged into evohome? As the flagship product, I'd hope evohome would offer any of the features of it's lesser products.

Might I suggest that Honeywell offers to provide offer a free knowledgeable 5 year old to all purchasers of Evohome who are over the age of 65.
That isn't meant to any sort of criticism, and I know this was a light-hearted post, but I'm close to 60, and still really excited by new things, but keep finding myself talking to people 10 years younger than me who say they are too old to learn anything new. And they seem to think thats OK!

It generally gives a good, plain English, explanation of the product or subject. We've started to adopt newer technologies, and there are literally dozens of new words in our conversations, so Wikipedia is now helping us keep our people (of all ages) up to date. After 40 years in IT, I know this progress will never stop, people either switch off and become old, or they keep learning.

I think the fact that we are all here 'embracing' (or rather 'kicking and screaming') new technology.... and using an online forum speaks volumes.
Interesting you recommend using Wikipedia - I am by no means a spring chicken but 'in the old days' I was told to steer well away from Wikipedia as it was just 'opinions' and not fact and could not be trusted. Nowadays it is one of the first places I look when I want to know something. I do agree with HenGus though - it would be much easier to have a 5 year old provided.

Slight thread drift, but both my daughter and her husband have good computer science degrees. Whenever I ask them for IT advice, their collective response is 'ask Matthew': their 15 year old son!
Back to topic. Gateway reporting: the app needs to relay 'faults' information as and when they occur. Having had a series of actuator comms faults over the past few days - lasting in excess of 4 hrs at a time - I know this information is not being picked up by the Gateway, and transmitted to the App.

I'm just well past 60 and like my gadgets! Been using email for well over 30 years as well - when it used to come in in black and white text at about 75 baud. I agree the use of acronyms can be a pain. I sit on a committee where medical people produce reports and they just love to use them and never think of a glossary to explain them. I simply googled IFTTT to see what it meant!

I know that some wishes have already been mentioned but this is a direct copy of my current wish list:
1) More information on the controller: is the heating on, valve positions
2) Possibility to have a valve (always) open without trigger the thermostat: eg. Bathroom no “forced” heating but have it on with other section
3) Web based interface (HTML5)
4) Override a valve position: when a specific valve is not fully open it might lead to “flow” noise
5) Possibility to connect PIR: possibility to extend heating window if motion is detected: eg. If you are in the living room after normal heating time extend the time based on motion
I would really really love to have option 2

I have two radiators (Hall and Downstairs toilet) that I did not replace with evohome valves for just that reason. Any time the system is on the radiators receive heat but shut off when up to the setting of the TRV. However, they don't call for heat themselves. Cheaper than having an evohome radiator valve that is only behaving as a pure TRV - just a thought :-)
When we arrive home in the evening (17:30) the living room is nice and warm and I’d like to have an open valve in the bathroom to heat it together with the living room (no schedule for bathroom yet). But if the bathroom is not at 22C at 19:00 I want Evohome to take action, for my son’s shower.
I hope you understand what I mean since I am not a native English speaker (forgive me for that)

I don't think this right - changing the "master" HR92 changes others in the zone. It's 05:46, my heating is not scheduled to come on for a while but being up have turned up the master HR92 in my living room. Yes the heating has come on but only the one radiator is getting warm, the second one in the zone has stayed cold and not changed. I had after reading about this point ensured which was Master but never since tried it out until now. I have had to manually adjust the other radiator.
