Just got an Evohome setup (wifi display, boiler relay on combi boiler and 6x HR92). Generally loving it, a few questions arise after living with it for a little bit:
1) Is there any way to have the backlight of the Wifi screen (ATC928G3000) turn off completely? I can't seem to manage it from the settings screens, despite the options seeming to imply that there are timeouts to turn it off. The room I have it in at the moment is used for projection TV, so the additional ambient light from the display ruins contrast. I'd rather not stick it in a cupboard or another room.
2) I notice that the Wifi screen temperature readout is pretty wildly off. Usually looks to be 24-26'C on mine, varies with handling. Does this make it pointless to calibrate it? When I saw this delta vs ambient I decided to ignore this temperature in my initial setup and am only using the remote sensors in the HR92s, which leads me to:
3) In the lounge where I have the Wifi screen the two HR92s are in poor, partially enclosed locations which in practice seems to mean the room temperature reaches optimum comfort level but then drops before their own local climate does, leading to a slight feeling of chill. To correct this I think I'd need to use a remote sensors, which I guess means either the one in the screen (assuming I can resolve 1) and 2) ) , or adding a T87RF or DTS92 (any other options?). In this situation is fiddling with the offset of the HR92 likely to be fruitless, and just result in a room which initially gets a little too warm and then drops off to the comfort temperature?
4) Is there any reason to prefer the T87RF or DTS92, other than cost (DTS92) or arguably aesthetic design (T87RF)?
Many thanks for any advice.
