Is there ANY reason to favour a HR91 over an HR92 other than price?

    They've put the prices up of the HR924UK multipack then, i'm sure they were only usually £215 for a pack of 4. So in which case, yes if you are buying off the theevohomeshop then there is £45 difference which is quite a bit. But seeming you can pick up a pack of HR924uks for around £200 elsewhere then you aren't really saving much.

      If I was someone looking again for a new smart heating system for a house with 19 radiators, the difference in cost between the HR92 and a Wiser TRV (£39.99 from Screwfix) would give me a lot to think about.

        There was a range wide price increase from Honeywell a short while ago.

        Need to look into Wiser a bit more, but I wasn't overly impressed with what I saw last time I checked (which i admit wasn't very in depth).

          I have so far never needed to buy a HR92 because my HR80s from a Hometronic and CM Zone installation are still going strong. But I do remember thinking that the pivoting screen design of the HR92 was just asking to trouble. The HR80 has so few moving parts by comparison but I miss being able to see what the current temperature in the room is.

                8 set points, 16 zones... Wish I'd known about this given my current need for a 13th zone, and literally just bought all my kit... Most of it isn't even fitted yet!

                  From my experience with Drayton over the years . (Especially their wireless stuff), Honeywell exceeds them on every level IMO. The only good thing Drayton ever did was the Lifestyle clocks, and that's about it. From what I've seen of the Drayton system it looks a bit messy and the panel doesn't look as easy to use.

                    We now sell packs including HR91's that the equivalent HR92 price just can't touch - https://theevohomeshop.co.uk/20-hone...ed-value-packs

                    I know this is an old post but its still trending on Google for HR91's...

                      sorry offtopic but
                      The EVOHOME Shop, one thing I have always wondered when looking at your site is why you don't offer an upgrade to the Honeywell evohome Connected Modulation Pack for say £50 in all your value packs, unless I have missed it somewhere. too late or me though.

                        I still have a mix of HR80, HR92 and HR91. If I had the zero cost opportunity to replace all with just one type it would be HR91. I like them because they don't encourage tinkering and they are not susceptible to accidental adjustment by curtains or little fingers. About half my zones are locked down so they can not be adjusted locally. Quite a lot of zones have T87 wall thermostats. This is both for easier controllability, and to ensure that rads don't get turned off before the room is actually at the right temperature. They get rooms up to heat much faster with smaller rads.

                          I don't like the flip screen of the HR92 at all, but I do like the features it has. My house is all HR80 and I see absolutely no reason to change. So unless you NEED access to the settings the HR92 provides, I can see the attraction to the HR91. But it'll be sods law, you buy an HR91 and then might need the HR92 settings.
