Has anyone come across this before ?
In over a year of reading about the Evohome system I have not come across this, but it appears to be the same hardware as the first generation Evotouch colour controller, but running different software with a different and more interesting looking UI.
Some interesting points:
* Windows CE based platform
* Optional plug-in module for communication protocol expandability
* Mini-USB connection for firmware update
Under connectivity:
PC Sync Center data transfer
• Firmware update
• Installation settings
• 1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) enabling fast access
to peripheral communication
• 1 standard UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
Open for future protocol communication expansion
(io-homecontrol, Z-Wave, ZigBee, etc.)
The user interface looks quite interesting and a bit more modern than the very plain looking interface on the Evotouch which does look a lot like something you'd expect to see on Windows CE. (Assuming the Evotouch also runs Windows CE)
It seems like OEM touch is the underlying hardware and reference software designed for OEM integration/customisation, and that Evotouch is one specific implementation of that platform made by Honeywell as a retail product.
