Mines updated too!

Click on System Parameters.
You’ll find Cold Weather Boost Setting there.

Good to hear the update has got to the group. Let us know of any feedback you all have!
I can see and understand the difficulty many have had finding the cold winter boost threshold setting. This was tricky to place as we felt adding another parameter after selecting the zones this feature applies to and the offset temperature would have made the feature more confusing for users.

Is the figure the Evotouch uses based on the "current" temperature reported by Accuweather or the forecast temperature for the current time ? (A subtle but important distinction)Last edited by DBMandrake; 19 August 2020, 03:51 PM.

@ally153 Can the team confirm if these new features - specifically the eco/boost offset - can be configured via the Web API. An example use-case (via a home automation platform using, e.g. https://github.com/watchforstock/evohome-client): the further I get from home (via geofencing / presence detection), the more the eco is dropped from 0.5 to 3.0.

Mine has updated to the new version and I have some feedback - the new Eco/Boost function (loving it) still uses the Euro symbol of the old Eco function. (both in the quick action button and zone squares)
This seems a little out of place if Eco/Boost is set to a positive value.Presumably the Euro symbol was originally meant to signify saving money when active due to dropping set points, however when the adjustment is positive it will actually cost more money...
So perhaps a fresh icon is in order for the new more versatile Eco/Boost feature ? Or maybe a different icon is automatically used depending on whether the offset is + or - with a new icon just for positive values ?Last edited by DBMandrake; 19 August 2020, 06:32 PM.

This should make it possible to figure out whether the long lag in the outdoor temperature reading I see (typically 4+ hours, at least on previous firmware versions) is the fault of Accuweather not updating their current weather report often enough or whether the Evotouch is slow at getting updated data from Accuweather.
