Hey Guys! Been a while, how's everyone doing?
I'm popping in because I'm getting close to throwing this whole lot in the bin and maybe one of you could help me out (or offer to buy it all ) Ok, maybe an overreaction, but this has become seriously annoying and is costing money due to unnecessarily firing up the boiler and burning our crazy expensive gas.
One of my 11 zones is our living room. In there we have 4 radiators, each with an HR92. Everything was great except I came around to battery-change time of year. One by one I got low battery warnings and I replaced each pair as requested. Now I am stumped by phantom overrides and after having reset the controllers 4 times now, I am still getting it.
Basically the radiator goes off at around 21:35 (I'm using the economy-off mode, so time is not precise) and for some darned reason, it ends up going back on again around 10:30 / 10:40 for about 10 minutes before going off.
Thing is, by this stage of the evening, everything has gone off all over the house, so the boiler is firing up and heating things from cold again for absolutely no reason whatsoever and I cannot stop it from happening.
The first time, it ran all night. So I added an additional schedule point at 23:00 for 10 degrees. This seems to be managing to turn it off, but it's far from ideal. If it wasn't for the double-off, it would still be burning all night. My schedule looks like this:
00:00 - 10.0
02:00 - 10.0
10:30 - 15.0
18:30 - 20.5
22:30 - 10.0
23:00 - 10.0
(Note the ones I added at midnight and 2am just to make damn sure it finally turns off)
I know from monitoring Domoticz that this is a regular event - it doesn't happen every single night, maybe 2 out of 3. I've even got to the stage of not fitting the tops back on the HR92s so I can reset the batteries again when I see it happening, but so far no joy.
My theory is that the Economy-Off mode is making it turn off at an unpredictable time and this may be causing a communication clash somewhere, as I enabled this around Christmas time so that may not be far off when this problem started happening.
Has anyone ANY idea how to fix this? The system is about 3 years old now so I wouldn't think Honeywell would have much interest in it. Generally on/off is stable otherwise. I'm wondering if there's a best time to reset the units, and whether they should all be done simultaneously or spaced out? I think the last reset was around 3-minutes past the hour and I did them all together in the space of about a minute.
