    Does Evohome do weather compensation? I understood from Honeywell themselves (albeit years ago, ~ 2013) that this was not the case. Back then I bought an expensive outdoor solar- and temperature sensor with the idea to feed outside temperature into my Evohome but all it did was show the outside temp on the interface (and not even in the app). Quite useless. Has this changed?

      Hi Woody, looks like you have a lot of catching up to do. Evohome now no longer supports an external sensor. But it uses the outdoor temperature to do a lot.
      My screen shot shows that the displayed temperature is likely trimmed rather than rounded. A lot of us didn't know which way it was.

        I think you'll find -0C just means somewhere between 0C and -0.5C Not the best presentation to be sure but perhaps more informative than a straight 0C

          Apparently :-)

          I replaced my (sticky) 2013 Evohome wall unit with the latest invocation two weeks ago and did not realize that this had changed. I presume that Evohome retrieves the outside temp from my location and a weather service. ATM the temp outside the car in the drive is 5.5C while Evohome thinks it is 12C. Probably not too important in the grand scheme of temperature control.

          I'll see what happens when it gets colder.

            This for me was the biggest disappointment especially since I had already invested in an external temp sensor for the previous version of Evohome. Why support couldn't continue for that as an alternative to Internet is beyond me. Now its only Internet weather.

              Yes, the accuracy and delay of the outside temperature reported by the online weather service they use (apparently Accuweather) is a topic of some discussion over in the beta firmware thread...
