Honeywell ATP921R3100 Evohome WiFi Connected Thermostat Pack, 230 V, White

Product Information

The Honeywell Evohome allows you to set schedules for each individual thermostat, so if you know that your bedroom is only used at night, you can set it to be cold during the day, heat up half an hour before you head to bed, and then cool down to your preferred sleeping temperature through the night.

According to Honeywell, the best energy savings can be achieved by efficiently managing the temperature of individual zones, or rooms. Having modular control over the temperature of individual zones is what sets Evohome apart from other smart heating systems like the popular Nest and Tado. Feature It doesn’t have many of the ‘smart’ features that you’d expect from a smart thermostat like motion sensor control and geolocation. It doesn’t adapt or learn based on your routines, and isn’t capable of working with HomeKit or Google Assistant without an IFTTT workaround. Multi-Zone Products Unfortunately, due to the global microchip shortage no Evohome MZ products are currently in production. We recommend the more affordable but equally feature matched Drayton Wiser systems as a MZ alternative.

In so many ways it’s been left behind by its recent competitors, but it’s still the best we’ve seen in terms of simple, effective zonal control.We found the TRVs a little loud, and you can hear a small mechanical whine as they turn on. It took us a few weeks to get used to this in the bedroom, but we could sleep through the noise in the end. If you’re looking for the perfect way to control the heating in your home, look no further than our range of Honeywell Home Evohome. Designed with advanced, modern features and innovation in mind, you can be sure that this Home Evohome range from the leading manufacturer Honeywell will not only be the solution to controlling your heating but will also make sure you save money along the way. What more could you want?

Also, as each of the radiators is individually controlled, there is a small motor that makes a whirring noise when changing temperature. It wasn’t an issue for us, but for those that are very sensitive to noise, it’s worth considering. Final verdict The Evohome can even work out how long it takes to heat a room to a particular temperature, and turn on the radiator the appropriate amount of time before a scheduled window so the room is exactly the right temperature when you walk through the door. Unlike other smart thermostats, Evohome doesn’t embrace the sensor system. Instead the Evohome goes for the traditional approach of maintaining a constant set temperature. According to Honeywell, a sensor system that is continually dropping the temperature and reheating a room is a less efficient and more expensive way to heat your home. Installation of the Evohome system is a little more involved than with some other smart thermostats available due to the fact that each radiator in your house needs to be fitted with an individual thermostat.

Support

More advanced than smart thermostats like Nest and Tado, albeit without their smart learning technology, Evohome provides complete control of your heating system, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, room-by-room. Once you’ve got zonal control of the temperature in your home, you do wonder how you lived without it. Being able to have towels warming in the bathroom for your morning shower while keeping the bedroom cool until you wake up, and then having that room come up to temperature by the time you step out of the shower, is truly amazing.

Although Evohome doesn’t have the ability to learn your energy habits (think Nest and Tado), what you get is actually a far more comprehensive and advanced system. Zone heating offers maximum level of control and efficiency; the Honeywell Evohome gives you exactly that. A room thermostat controls the heating in your home. If the room's temperature drops below your chosen temperature, the thermostat will switch on. Once the room has reached the chosen temperature, the thermostat will turn the heating off, preventing overheating and reducing energy consumption. This can help reduce your home's energy consumption. That said, if you want cutting edge smart thermostat features like AI-powered scheduling and geofencing, you’re better off trying something like the Nest learning thermostat, Hive thermostat, or if zonal control is important to you, Tado.All of the individual components of the Evohome setup are made of the same white plastic, which is disappointing when some of the competition have clearly put a lot of thought into their designs.
