The Evohome by default does not support switching electric heaters.
This is where homey comes in!
Requirements:
- A honeywell T87RF2025 sensor (or other evohome compatible sensor)
- A smart switch supported by homey that can handle large Loads (Osram smart+ zigbee=3680W)
- A homey
- Setup a new zone in Evohome
- Enter the evohome setup menu (long press the menu button and confirm)
- Select zone configuration
- Press + to create a zone and name it (mine is “Zolder”)
- Select a type (it does not matter what) I chose zone valve
##Update##
Select zone type: Electric zone! If you choose a different zone type Evohome will also activate your boiler. You do not want that…
- Reset the T87 sensor (press left button for 10sec and release),turn the knob and select “Co” and press the left button
- Evohome should now confirm the sensor is connected
- Press OK, evohome asks to connect the controller, press the assign button on evohome
- Since we do not have a controller we ignore the “not received”, just press OK
- You now have a new zone in Evohome. Its linked to the sensor. But does not have a controller (we dont care we have homey)
- Setup homey
- If you have an Evohome you will have the app already in homey
- Add a new device to homey based on evohome app, the new zone will show
- install a smart switch using (osram can be connected via a hue bridge or directly to homey)
- Now you can start creating flows using the sensor values and settings of the evohome sensor
Here my 1st flows
