Browser control now live for TCC Devices

[G4RHL]

Will this new “facility” be behind why my app (on both iPad and iPhone) this morning have been showing the wrong set temperatures for some zones and then when I tried to refresh the app it won’t log me in? The Control Panel shows the right settings.

I guess the system has crashed?! Customer overload?!!,

Let me check - you mean for the web control - not the control of evohome right?

You can simulate an evo here http://sb.evohome.honeywell.com/ui-app/

You can download the TCC Intl app - and before the login - there is a 'demo' button which allows you to experience the app

Did you mean either of those?

Not really. I am already familiar with the colour controller UI (and have no interest in the smartphone app).

If I understand your original post correctly there is now a web browser interface (as you foreshadowed in a reply to me 3 or 4 yrs ago) - I am asking if there is a demo of that interface on the web that I can look at using IE or Firefox to help me decide whether it is worth investing in a new wifi controller or cut my losses and move to HeatGenius.

If you have the older non Wifi model I assume you would be able to use the new web interface with an RFG100 gateway...

Yeah - as DBMandrake says - this is agnostic of what hardware you have. (Even just the SZT)

I wondered about that, but I would need to buy an ethernet hub as well as I have run out of ports, so that's two more boxes on the shelf in the office.

Is there any extra/different functionality in the wifi controller to be worth the extra cost? IIRC from a previous thread the per-zone optimisation has actually been removed.

I am inferring from the lack of response that there is no online demo. But I would still like to try before I buy, is there someone out there who will lend me either piece of kit, or supply it on a sale-or-return basis?

Sorry I thought you had an evohome (any connected version ) - never thought of needing a demo - I think we have some dummy accounts - let me dig one up - ##update got one have DM'd you ##

Just got an email about this.

With my 'customer experience' hat on, "just login with your TCC credentials as per normal" isn't very friendly. Most people won't know what TCC is.

Like a lot of corporate communications it's inside looking out, rather than outside looking in.

P.

Thanks - yes we will remove amend for the other languages.

Further to my previous post I have been able to login and the app has put itself right with what is actually set on the Control Panel.

Paul, "Most people won't know what TCC is." What is it?!!!!! I haven't a clue but saw it on the web page and assumed that had to be the button to press.


Addendum:

I tried to alter a setting in a zone on the web site and it would not do it. I gave up waiting for the equivalent of the spinning ball to stop spinning. I eventually got the message "The web server failed to respond within the specified time."

One good turn deserves another:

At this time the only thing not possible is amending of the schedule.

[DBMandrake]

Timed overrides are implemented, I was trying it successfully earlier today. It's reprogramming the schedules that is not implemented yet.

The problem above is some sort of server error or overload that wasn't happening earlier today.

[philipW99]

Now that is a major step forward. MAny thanks.

[philchillbill]

Looks great and more than welcome !

It remains a pity that the Security (alarm-system) portion of both the TCC web-portal and iPhone app is still very incomplete. Accessing basically the same Honeywell server via a different portal (https://tc20e.total-connect.eu/) provides a much better experience and much more functionality. I understand the need for quality controls on new products/software but this is moving at the speed of molasses...

TCC - I have worked it out! I understood it meant the Technology and Construction Court. Surely a better name can be thought of? Why not simply “Evohome Login”?
