Thanks for choosing evohome
evohome means more comfort, and more control of your heating system. It’s simple to install and easy to use.
Follow these instructions to set up the evohome system. Devices that need to be connected to the mains electricity supply should be installed by a competent person.
Before you start
Make sure you have all the devices you need for your system. If you used our ‘Design your evohome system’ guide, match each device to the room or zones in your plan. It’s a good idea to carry out all the mains electrical and other wiring work first.
Step 1: Wire up the heating system
The evohome Controller communicates with the other wireless devices in your heating system on a robust 868Mhz signal that is unaffected by common remote controls or WiFi.
Some of the wireless devices need to be mains powered or connected to external equipment (such as a boiler) in order to communicate with the evohome Controller.
It’s recommended that these items are installed first to simplify the binding process later in the setup. The evohome Controller will give on screen instructions when these devices should be powered up.

Step 2: Set up your evohome Controller
The evohome Controller has a guided configuration process to help you set up the zones for a single type of system.
If you skipped the “Guided Configuration” option when you first powered up the evohome Controller you can find if again in the Installation Menu – press and hold the “Settings” button for 5 seconds.
Powering up your evohome Controller
Your evohome Controller comes with *rechargeable batteries which are pre-
charged allowing you to set-up the system while off the table stand or wall
bracket.
Place the evohome Controller on the table stand or wall bracket for normal
use.
-
Only use the AA rechargeable batteries provided.
- Remove the cover, remove the battery tab and replace the cover
- Place it on the table stand or wall bracket
- Once the batteries are fully charged, the evohome Controller can be easily removed from the table stand or wall bracket for ease of programming. After 30 minutes the evohome Controller will emit a beep to indicate that it should be replaced on the stand or wall bracket
Language selection and WiFi configuration
If you don’t have the WiFi network details, or the homeowner doesn’t require remote access you can skip the WiFi configuration and proceed with setting up the heating system.
WiFi can be configured later in the SETTINGS > WIFI SETTINGS menu.
- Select a language for the evohome controller user interface
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to a WiFi network. This enables automatic setting of the date and time for your location, as well as enabling remote connectivity via an Apple or Android Smartphone.
- To configure WiFi you will need the home WiFi network password
- Instruct the homeowner / user to visit www.getconnected.honeywellhome.com to create an account, register the evohome Controller and download the app
Step 3: Power up and bind devices
Using ‘Guided Configuration’ on the evohome Controller follow the on screen instructions and use this section to put the devices into binding mode.
When you bind a device they permanently store the connection and there should never be a need to rebind them again – even after a power cut.
If you skipped the initial set-up, you can find ‘Guided Configuration’ mode by pressing ‘Setting’ for 5 seconds.
If you have other devices to bind, you can see the full installation guide on getconnected.honeywellhome.com – Your evohome Controller will give you on-screen instructions to bind the other components – just follow the bind instruction for each device in this manual.

Selecting the adapter
The radiator controller fits on common radiator valves of the type M30 x 1.5. Adapters are required for some valve types.
- Check whether an adapter is required and, if necessary, select the appropriate adapter
- Slide the adapter onto the radiator valve and turn it until you feel it click into place
- If necessary, screw the adapter tight with a screw
Step 4: System test
Now that all the devices are bound to your evohome Controller and installed in their final locations, check that the system works properly and that all the devices are responding to commands from the evohome Controller.
You can perform a simple functional check of the heating system by overriding the temperature of each zone to their minimum and maximum while listening for a response from the radiator (or zone) controllers and boiler. To save power the battery devices only communicate with the evohome Controller every four minutes therefore the system may not respond immediately to a manual temperature change.
Wireless communication check
To save power the battery devices only communicate with the evohome Controller every four minutes therefore the system may not respond immediately to a manual change.
To check the RF signal strength between the wireless devices and the evohome Controller go to RF COMMS CHECK in the evohome Controller Installer Menu and test each wireless device.
- On the evohome Controller press and hold ‘Settings’ for 3 seconds
- Press the green tick
- Press RF COMMS CHECK
- Choose the devices you want to test
Mains Powered Wireless Devices
Mains powered devices do not need to be put into test mode and will automatically respond to the test message sent from the evohome Controller:
Wireless Relay Box (BDR91)
- The Relay Box will flash the red LED from 1 flash (poor) to 5 flashes (excellent) – no flashing means the Relay Box has not received a test signal from the evohome Controller.
Battery Powered Wireless Devices
Battery powered devices need to be put into test mode to send and receive a test signal:
Configuration and modification
Once you’ve completed these steps you’re ready to start using your evohome system. You can also make parameter adjustments in the evohome Controller to match the exact requirements of the heating system. The operation and functions of the each zone can also be adjusted. These can be found in the Installer Menu. Components can be added or replaced by editing the zones or system in the Installer menu.

Safety information
Approvals
EMC compliance considerations
Refer to Code of Practice standards EN61000-5-1 and -2 for guidance.
Caution : Isolate power supply and make safe before wiring the unit to
prevent electric shock and equipment damage. Installation should be carried
out by a competent
person. Location of device
evohome Controller should be installed in an open space for best performance as it is a radio frequency device. Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects including wall boxes and at least 1 metre from any other electrical equipment eg. radio, TV, PC etc. Do not mount onto metal wall boxes.
For the best temperature control performance the evohome Controller should not be placed near heat or cool sources (e.g. cooker, lamp, radiator, doorways, windows).
