Unlikely a software issue, what is the evohome controller sat next to?Originally posted by basiluk View PostI also get the same comms fault with my 10 TRV'soccasionaly, one is some 5 metres line of sight from the controller - any chance of getting the new firmware?I work for Resideo, posts are personal and my own views.

Another question whilst I'm here. When using the DTS92 as a room stat in my living room zone with the 3 HR92s, Should I use zone valve or Rad valve as the type of controller ? I started out using Rad valve and then on the 3rd or so reconfiguration I used zone valve. Doesn't seem to make any difference to operation.

If your using HR92 the heating zone type must be radiator valve.Originally posted by Felkin123 View PostAnother question whilst I'm here.

Unless you do really have a zone valve you should be choosing radiator valve.
A zone valve is controlled by a BDR91 relay - so what did you bind your "zone valve" to when you configured it ?? If you have bound this to the same BDR91 that controls the boiler heat demand then you have a double binding that will cause you problems, and probably comms faults. Also it will prevent the HR92's from being able to call for heat.
You should clear the bindings on those HR92's (at the HR92's themselves) and clear all bindings from your boiler control relay, (15+ second press) re-configure the zone as radiator controls on the controller and rebind to the HR92's, then rebind your boiler relay for heat demand in system settings.

Ok I've got that, Where I was getting confused was at what point to bind the DTS92 to the zone I assumed first, I rebound the boiler relay yesterday after I moved it but will release and redo it when I get home tomorrow morning in case I have double bound it, No zone valve in my system I just thought that the DTS 92 might be treated as a zone valve by the software. I want the DTS 92 to be the primary actuator that controls the 3 HR92s. In this zone This is what happens when you overthink something !
Oddly though as the 3 HR92s were still bound with the the zone seems to operate correctly, This is a learning curve for me to say the least coming from a traditional dial stat in the hall and TRV installation background.

Not dumb at all - there's a lot of new terminology to get used to.
I'd do it by creating a zone with the three rad valves, then edit the zone to swap the sensor over to the room sensor. Oh, and make sure the zone is set as single room. I'm not sure what happens when you have a multi room zone with a separate sensor bound, but the configuration doesn't make sense.

Every day is a school day, so don't feel you can't ask questions (there is lots of support for evohome out there)

No need to add the sensor once you have configured things, that just confuses the binding process IMHO :
Brilliant and clear advice/instructions,
Cleared all bindings, deleted zone, started again as per above advice, Job done, Easy with a bit of guidance! really grateful for everyone's input and help great forum !

Originally posted by FUNKYDADDIO View PostHi, I've had my system in 5 weeks , changed a hr92 from one zone to another today (both rooms have 2 radiators ). A few hours later I get the comms fault, actuator message in both zones. Installed myself as already had bdr installed with a cm927 controller. Took batteries out of controller but fault still there. Any ideas folks? Thanks
