3 zone EvoHome setup?

[Chevalier]

Hi,

Wonder if someone can help, been trying to get an answer from Honeywell but can’t seem to get through with email or phonecalls

I’m replumbing my house (engineer, not a plumber) and am looking to do the below using EvoHome, but not sure if it works as I expect.

Setup:
S-Plan
Worchester Combi boiler
3 Zones
-UFH, one large room
-Rads downstairs
-Rads upstairs


Think I need to purchase the below, but any input would be great!

1 * Evo Home controller and Relay (this does zone 1)

2 * thermostats/relay combination (these do zones 2 and 3)

3* motorised valves (closed)

Thanks

All this stuff is new to me and my head is pickled just reading this post. Wouldn't want to be fault finding on one of these eco setups.
Are these the future?

All depends what you want. All the systems we've installed in the last 2 years have been of the 'connected' nature
We install:
Lots of Heatmiser Neo
Evohome
Occasionally Lyric T6 (lacks a Hot water module at the moment )
Salus iT500
Very Occasionally Nest.

We are careful to choose what right for the system, the house and the client.

They're fashionable at the moment but I suspect the future will include an army of heating engineers systematically replacing the first generation of 'smart' controls with one that are a lot less confusing for the end-user.

Actually most of the properties we are working on are getting smarter and smarter. 1st gen was X10, now we're on 2nd gen with Loxone, Control 4, Schneider C-Bus, plus 3rd gen coming through working on mesh networks (zigbee etc) and interfacing with Apple Homekit and Watch, Amazon Echo & Alexa, IFTTT, Android and IOS Apps.

Simples really

There again we invest between one and two months salary per year in training on each employee, as well as giving the the time to do it, so that they are ahead of the curve.

Some people just don't understand it so think it's rubbish. Shame really.
I'm an end user and evohome is as simple as it gets when you get your head around it.
People just lack the training.
My boiler installer had never done an evohome or Opentherm install. He took one look through the manual and got it all working with ease.

Have mine setup with ifttt and Geo fencing and find it very convenient. All makes for a system that only heats the rings we want when we want.
