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.
1

Installing the Wireless Relay Box (BDR91)
1
Mount the Wireless Relay Box on a nonmetal
surface at least 30cm from your boiler, other
wireless devices or metal objects
2
Release the clip on the bottom to open the
front cover
3
Follow the wiring diagram to connect the
Wireless Relay Box to your boiler’s thermostat
terminals, zone valve or sundial valve, and to
the mains electricity supply
4
Replace the cover
Turn off at mains
and isolate the
supply before
starting. MINIMUM
30CM

Refer to boiler instruction to locate
the room thermostat terminals,
determine if the boiler required a
permanent live supply.

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
1
Remove the cover,
remove the battery
tab and replace
the cover
2
Place it on the table stand or wall bracket
3
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
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.
PULL TAB

Language selection and WiFi configuration
1
Select a language for the evohome controller user interface
2
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
3
Instruct the homeowner / user to visit
www.getconnected.honeywellhome.com to create an
account, register the evohome Controller and download
the app
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. To create an account and register the evohome Controller, the
homeowner will need the MAC ID and CRC which can
be found:
On a label behind the front cover of the evohome Controller
On screen during the WiFi set-up
In the SETTINGS > WiFi SETTINGS menu after
set-up has been completed
Select you store
Get 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.

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 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
2
Press the green tick
3

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
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.

Battery Powered Wireless Devices
Battery powered devices need to be put into test mode to send and receive a test
signal:
1
Press the button,
the zone name is
displayed
2
Press and hold the
button again for
5 seconds, the display
should say BIND
3
Turn the dial to
display RF CHECK
4
Press the button,
the display should
flash CHECKING
5
Press the button again, the display
should flash SIGNAL and will display
a signal strength bar and a rating
from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) – 0
means the Radiator Controller has
not received
a test signal from the evohome
Controller
6
To exit test mode turn the dial to exit
and press the button. It will also
exit automatically after 10 minutes

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).
