My Evohome controller locked up yesterday at 17:08.
The clock had stopped and there was zero heat demand on the radiators even though the rooms were below the set points.
I had to disconnect the batteries to get it going but the clock did not set itself to the right time.
The unit was not connecting to the WiFi and I had to disable the WiFi on the controller and set it up again before it would connect.
It seems that the batteries are making an intermittent connection with the terminals but as the controller sits on the cradle all the time I don't think that would cause a problem.
I thought I would remove the batteries and clean the terminals but it is almost impossible to get them out (unless I am missing something obvious).
One battery is almost covered over and you can't get at it.
I didn't have time to continue so I just put it back on the cradle and all seems to be well.
Has anyone else had a problem and how do you remove the batteries?
