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 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.
