Honeywell launches the evohome smart thermostat in the UK-- a multi-room system with wireless radiator modules allowing the creation up to 12 individual "smart zones" for more granular heating control.
Once installed on radiator valves the modules communicate with a main controller paired with the boiler for individual zone management via included touchscreen remote or Android/iOS apps.
The modules are also smart, being able to adjust heating according to temperature changes-- according to Honeywell the modules can even switch heating off entirely should a window be left open. Meanwhile the system learns house heating requirements to provide optimal energy use.
The mobile device apps allow the programming of different heating schedules, with presents such as "day off," "economy" and "away" for when the house is empty.
The Honeywell evohome system is available now.
