I had Honeywell evohome thermostat with few rad controllers =4 heating zones, and few rads not zoned- it does control my ch
but for hot water I use Sunvic Sunpro 2000 2 Channel 7 Day 5/2 Day 24Hr Programmer
so in the setting of programmer I always have CH always on and HW on a timer
All been working fine for couple or more years ,until I have my gas and electricity meters exchanged for smart ones,and since then I'm having problems, ( im not sure if it has anything to do you smart meters, but maybe they have burned something when they turned off electricity..)
so problems is/was :
1. I have noticed that there has been communication lost log message on Honeywell evohome thermostat every night.
2.my ch comes on when hot water is beeing heated, un-zoned rads gets hot if they re not turned off
however ch works and zones controlled without a problem
so contacted Honeywell for problem 1. which they said:
'The most common cause for loss of communication is that the BDR91 Wireless Relay Boxes are positioned too close together or next to metal items.
If it is fitted to your boiler, zone valve or Sundial valve, please make sure that you mount the relay on a non-metal surface and at least 30cm from your boiler or other wireless devices or metal objects.
Also, try to clear the fault log book by removing the batteries from the unit for a few seconds and then put them back in.
If the communication fault message appears again, check the installation of the relay box, reset it (press and hold the button on the relay box for 20 seconds) and rebind it to the evohome controller.
You could also try to move the controller closer to the relay box. '
So I have:
I have tried to remove batteries from the unit and putting them back- did not help
I did try to reset and rebind BDR91 Wireless Relay Box-No more communication loss but hot water still heats rads
I did not have structural changes since it was installed, so i believe it is not too close or too far away
plus I have only one BDR91 Wireless Relay Box, which is not fitted to the boiler,zone valve or Sundial valve
it is mounted on a dry wall and there are no other wireless devices close to it
I have also replaced my Sunvic Sunpro 2000 2 Channel 7 Day 5/2 Day 24Hr Programmer-with identical one-no difference
Im thinking of my next step to replace BDR91 Wireless Relay Box?
or could there be wiring problems?
3 point valve?
any advise?
