First post , so chance to say that the presence of this forum clinched my decision to go down the Evohome route.
Setup is DHW Y Plan , wired Oil Boiler (no Open Therm)
Initially took it step by step , DHW and single (defaulted living room ) zone using Evohome controller as sensor and HR92Uk attached to a 'unconnected' new TRV valve base (so I could watch the HR92 perform).
Had some what I thought was pretty random behaviour , but was combination of lack of understanding , HW Priority , and the HR92 lock ring not full engaged in lock position (worked sometimes). The latter created the situation where the zone was showing a large delta between ambient and set point but no call for heat. I think it was this site or a youtube that got me to check the lock ring as a possible cause of erratic behaviour.
During the debug process, factory reset and rebound everything , and added additional zones , HR92s and DTS92.
Works as expected.
Portal (or app) showing no comms ... oops forgot to add wifi after factory reset .. added again , comms restored and everything is as you would expect , except I have an additional unamed 'phantom' zone. It reports no temperature but has an adjustable setpoint which given it's range says this phantom is based on the Hot Water '.
The evohome controller shows only the configured zones & HW.
I'm guessing this is an artefact of the factory reset, but not sure of how to delete this phantom zone.
Is it safe to delete the totalconnect account and recreate? Don't want to find it comes back and says the MAC is already allocated when trying to recreate.
Have no experience of the quality of their support capability , didn't want to go down a black hole if there was someone on here that had already gone down the road , so to speak.
Thanks
Andy
