Second option it is if it’s the better option. I’ll connect a fused spur so I can fuse it down correctly. Won’t be as pretty as a light switch, but I don’t fancy cutting the wall open as much as would be needed to bring the lighting ring to this location. I’m just trying to make it a little...

There’s nothing wrong with it other than that I’m tiling and would like to get rid of the plug top for a switch. Seems like the right way to do it

Or this...

I have a set of LED strip lights, that are powered off a normal mains adapter. I want to remove the adapter, and replace the single socket with a fused spur, pulling the cable up the wall to where the lights are. I’m wondering will this power supply do the job. All the ratings look right and...

Because the updating everything is in a few years time, along side some building and renovation work

So. I’ve done as much reading up on this as I can, going to go ahead with and sell this off Had toyed with the idea of nest or hive mini. Doesn’t seem to be any point spending the extra on nest (since I won’t have any opentherm) so the hive seems like the best option. Especially since the...

Maybe I’m missing something here. Sorry if that’s the case, but following the on screen setup, when getting to that it asks what type of valve. And when you press 2 port and try to pair to BDR, it will not progress. If it did then I wouldn’t be having this conversation. It would probably be why...

I’ve powered this up on the table a few times to try and get connected as you said. Two BDRs have power and the HW kit is battery powered. Every time I go to pair the HW kit to the Evo controller, it asks for valve, no option to skip. Could it be that an earlier model allows you to bypass? Mine...

yeah, unfortunately the setup on the evohome screen doesn’t go in that order Go to setup the HW and it first pairs to the thermostat sensor. That works grand. Then asks about the valve, the step after that according to support is pairing the HW BDR I also don’t think my current wiring is...

It then asks you to pair it to something. I assume there is a device I don’t have that the evo home is expecting to control the valve. I initially didn’t read the screen and was trying to pair it with the HW BDR, realised, and called support

“not having a motorised valve does not mean Evohome will not work.” According to Honeywell support it does. When pairing the hw bdr the screen asks what type of valve do you have 2 port (or something else) none isn’t an option and it can not be bypassed.

No. My understanding is that only the boiler runs when on HW, pump runs when on CH and HW. From the sounds of things I need a Honeywell motorised valve, and some way to connect it into the evohome system. I just don’t think I’m capable of fitting that valve myself. I just don’t understand...

It’s hardwired and I’m not up for tracking walls at this stage

Thanks for this @ianmcd I didn’t know there was a difference. I’m swaying more towards the hive at this point. Currently our thermostat is on an exterior wall, above a radiator, in the coldest room in the house. I reckon I’ll be replacing the boiler in the coming years, so will probably do the...

When binding the HW kit to the evohome, the instruction as what type of valve I have. None is not an option. It is not possible to use evohome without a valve. (I checked with support also)
