      ​@@MWPHS well I can tell you, after 10 month usage, It is a very good product.
      The Resideo HCC100 is a fantastic addition to any modern home, bringing together an impressive range of functions that used to require multiple devices. Its multi-zone control is incredibly convenient, allowing for tailored temperature settings across different areas of the house. The compatibility with various thermostats is a big plus, and it seamlessly integrates with modern heat pumps. This is a comprehensive solution that simplifies temperature management while enhancing comfort.

    @vincentohanlon 11 місяців тому

  • @AliceKeens-soper
    @AliceKeens-soper 21 день тому +2

    Please Richard! Don’t just review it ! Please respond to your viewers and do a ‘how to work it’ video. Pls explain how to use eco mode , what temperature to set it at, how to specifically set it and un-set it, how to manage the temperature , and how to generally make it work. The instructions online and in the box itself are APPALLING and assume so much prior knowledge. Most of us just want a very simple ‘how to’ and then we want to get on with our lives - in the warmth ! We’d love to know how to use it as a non expert rather than watching your review as someone who knows, understands, and dare I say it , has an enthusiasm for these things ! Many thanks

      I’ve scoured the internet every day when I get a moment but nowhere explains anything.
      About to spend a fortune to get rid of it. Not worth the headache. Poor design and support from Honeywell.

    Hi, can this be bound as a single zone thermostat for the Honeywell HCC80R as part of an Evohome installation? Is there a video or manual description somewhere that explains how to install it to an existing HCC80R (I will add it as a zone 3)..?

    • @MWPHS
      @MWPHS  14 днів тому

      Yes it can be bound as a zone thermostat for any type of zone you create with evohome.

    I walk past my stat often and personally I like to see what the house temp is, and if the boiler is "calling" or not.
    I DON'T like this stat as it's constantly blank unless u keep waking it up!
    Prefer a constant display.

      I quite like minimalistic view, but everyone has induvial tastes. Only feedback I suggested to Resideo is maybe to have a sensor that when you walk past it turns on the display. In any case, thanks for your comment! :)

    Hi, I'm looking to replace my two thermostats, one wired and one wireless. I came accroos the DT3 but can't find the difference between the DT3 and the DT4, do you know? And also, DT4 and DT4R? I believe it's the difference between wireless and wired but no clue for DT3 and DT4. Thanks

    • @MWPHS
      @MWPHS  8 місяців тому +1

      DT3 is a retail product made for Amazon/Screwfix and DT4 is made for us as a trade seller. Comes down to if you want to support small businesses or support corporate organisations. DT4 comes in a few variants, wired (DT4), wireless (DT4R) and modulation (DT4M). Just to confuse it further, the wireless DT4R comes in stat only (DTS42) or with a wireless relay box (YT42). We then do our own version with a BDR91 wireless relay box (thesmartthermostatshop.co.uk/product-category/honeywell-home-evohome/wireless-thermostats/). The DT4M and DT4R (thermostat only) are only really used with the HCC100 UFH Controller (ua-cam.com/video/HJXN37g7syE/v-deo.html) or evohome (ua-cam.com/video/rW43wlFvWPY/v-deo.html).

  • @johnsouthall-i1z
    @johnsouthall-i1z 11 місяців тому

    Had the DT4 installed a few days ago. When the room reaches the set temp it switches off the boiler as you would expect BUT the boiler comes on about every 15 mins and runs for about 20 seconds and then stops. This is obviously not long enough to bring the room temp back up to its setting if it has dropped slightly. Is this normal?

    • @MWPHS
      @MWPHS  10 місяців тому

      The DT4 is a TPI thermostat so yes this behaviour is normal when approaching and at room temperature, however the TPI algorithm needs to be setup correctly for the boiler you have, which is done in the installation menu of the thermostat (cycle rate, minimum on time and minimum off time). You can contact Resideo for more help and information on 0300 130 1299.

    • @MWPHS

      The DT4R is a wireless thermostat, so I am assuming you have the DT4? If it is a DT4, they are voltage free relay, not a live and a neutral. More information on the DT4 here... ua-cam.com/video/SgQ3I7iBZ4s/v-deo.html

    Hi.
    Great to know that this product has launched and will pair with the BDR91 receiver.
    I have 2 different rooms of underfloor heating on the same zone but with separate DT92E thermostats/BDR91's controlling the manifolds so i can have different temperatures in the 2 rooms but not different timings.
    Im thinking of installing witeless T4R unuts in each room to give mire control over timings/temoeratures during the day etc. Would the T4R pair eith my existing BDR91 receiver like this new DT4 product please or do i need 2x new receivers?
    And if i do need new receivers will the wiring be the dame as for my existing BDR91?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Al the best.

  • @AliceKeens-soper

    Your description of how to use this thermostat assumes knowledge of previous thermostats. I have never had one. So it would be helpful to know how to use the menu to set a timer for example, tell me what 'eco mode' actually does, and what the various acronyms stand for and how to utilise them. Please don't assume that your viewers are all technicians who have a specific understanding of this range of thermostats past and present. A simple 'how to' use, including switching it off etc, would be helpful. Also you would aid your viewers if you adjusted the lighting and sat closer to the camera as the thermostat screen is hard to see as is. Thanks
