Back in Sept I had a new CH system fitted......Simple heating control .....1 Zone, 1 Thermostat, 1 Boiler Relay. I chose Evohome. Boy do I regret it.
Initially placed stat in living room.....after a month it lost connection.......(which by the way doesn't give any indication on either the app or the thermostat). I then could not get it to rebind robustly (would connect but would then drop within an hour) So I moved stat to the hall which is almost straight line (albeit through brick walls) 10 foot to the BDR91. Re-bound and it has worked for about 4 months. (Must admit I am irritated I cannot place the stat where I want it)
Yesterday evening (very cold) lost connection....no heating....it seemed to find the connection again without rebinding....but this morning no heating. The red light was flashing on the relay so I re-bound the connection.
My house is full of Wifi and wireless gadgets (automated somfy blinds)
I am now very concerned that Evohome is a fragile design.
(By the way when I spoke to my installer, he said 'Yes I know', when I asked why he didn't tell me, he said I didn't want to make you sad. GRRRRR)
I am considering replacing. Does anyone have any views on the robustness of the wireless connectivity between Thermostat and Relay for other makes/models?
I originally chose Evohome due to the capability of easily adding the radiator valves as other zones......however, I am not convinced I will ever use this functionality
