Hi, I've previously used this forum for info and help, but only just joined.
I bought Evohome in March, it's working well, certainly very happy with it, it does what I wanted and expected. Researched it last year and it ticked all the boxes of my requirements. I got the impression that the app was a bit clunky and that did turn out to be the case, but seems to be much more stable now tho. If I'm honest and especially after buying some Philips Hue lights, the app user interface still looks a bit 'engineer' rather than end user pretty, and the connection to servers and/or my controller is still quite slow (when compared to Philips Hue UI presentation and connection).
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something (sorry if this has been done to death before). There appear to be lots of options to very simply turn the whole heating down or off, away, heating off, economy. Where's the option for when Great Aunt Doris visit's?. At the moment I've tried a fuddle with the 'away' function by turning it up as high as it'll go, which is only 20C. Anyone got a get around or any ideas?, I'm aware of a 3rd party app which does exactly the function I'd want, but would rather stick with Evohome app. A 'boost' button would be nice +3C throughout the house for 2 hours, type stuff.
Cheers
