- Richard gives his review on the new Honeywell Home HCC100 Multi Zone UFH Controller, which was launched in June 2023. This HCC100 was being pre-bound to a large evohome system before dispatching to a customer.

great video, seems a massive improvement over the HCC80R
I’ve done many HCC80R pre-binds and the HCC100 is very easy to do once you get used to Resideo Pro App. But yep, lots of improvements over the HCC80R.
Great video, lots of info, thanks! Looked at the HCC80 a while back but this is much better.
Do I understand correctly that I would no longer need to connect a BDR91 RF module to the EvoTouch to trigger the Heater Pump to turn on, as the HCC100 has it's own output for Heat demand which can be connected to the Heater Pump? Thanks a bunch!
You don't have to use a BDR91 if you use the HCC100 and the heat demand terminal (which is a volt free relay), however you wouldn't use the heat demand terminal and a wireless BDR91 (if you already have one controlling the boiler with HR91/HR92).
Hi Rich, This is brilliant video. I have a question about the EvoHome system. I'm currently using gas boiler with 10 HR924 + HR91EE. I'm planning some renovation works and one zone will be gone with extension where underfloor heating will be in place (part of the house) - the remaining radiators are still there. Can I add the HCC100 to the system? Your help will be much appriciated.
So yes, you can add the HCC100 but you will only have the remaining zones on the evohome controller to use, not the full 8 zones the HCC100 offers.
Thanks. I just installed all of the original Evohome gear (opentherm on combi with UFH). Does this newer setup have any advantages in terms of heat management and cost savings?
The HCC100 has a load of options over the HCC80R, so ultimately a better UFH controller.
Thanks for the video Rich.
I presently have a load of Seimens Rev23's with a pretty dumb UFH wiring centre, stitched into my EvoHome system. I would like to replace the dated Rev23's, they are all discoloured and looking tatty and dated. The DT4 caught my eye and that led me to potentially using the HCC100 and integrating it properly.
At the moment, the Rev23's have scheduling & setback temperatures which catch the cooling down too much. Obviously, the EvoHOME will do the scheduling, I'm guessing the setback temperature is effectively one of the scheduled steps?
It would be great if they would come up with a DT4 with a slab sensor!
Time and temperature control is with evohome, so setback is just a lesser scheduled temperature in another time zone. Evohome has Optimum Start and is better than most systems at regulating air temp between setback and comfort temps.
Is it possible to connect 2 HCC100 controllers in a single Evohome?
The video is very interesting, I would like to install this material in my house.
Yes, you can connect more than one HCC100 to an evohome controller, but bear in mind each evohome controller has a 12 heating zone limit.
@@MWPHSPerfect, in my case I have 2 heating manifolds, one with 7 zones and another with 3 zones.
I will try to save an HCC100 by wiring from one heating manifold to the other, but if not possible, you have helped me a lot knowing that I can always connect 2 HCC100 controllers. Thank you so much.
Can I ask please: if you install the HCC100, do you need the EvoHome controller (the part with the fancy UI) ? Or can you simply install the HCC100, and install the thermostats, and call it good? Or is there a difference between thermostats (for example: wired thermostats don't need to communicate with the controller, but the wireless ones do) ?
You don't need evohome to use the HCC100, however without a programmable wireless/wired thermostat that is compatible with the HCC100, you will have no way of programming the system. You would need to use something like a Resideo Total Home Programmable Thermostat or a T3M/T4M modulation thermostat. It is easier just to use evohome in my opinion.
Many thanks for your review great item from honeywell for underfloor not too much manufacturer support this type for underfloor heating like tado or nest all customers have issue .with it
Only honeywell and heatmiser and hive and drayton wiser by Schneider Electric suport this special for underfloor heating put not sure which one the best
If budget is no object, evohome is best. Although we do like the Drayton Wiser system and Salus Smart Home, when it comes to efficiency neither of those systems currently do fully mixed heating technology and OpenTherm like evohome does.
@MWPHS many thanks for your reply.
Thanks for your help with more information so you like first honeywell (evohome) and then wiser dryton also salus smart home
What about heatmiser and hive
Many thanks for you help
@@security-pb4ee Hive is not capable of multi-zone UFH and is considered a poor heating controller by many heating professionals in the know. Heatmiser is ok, but not in the same league as the controls we sell on thesmartthermostatshop.co.uk
@MWPHS many thanks for your help
So the top first honeywell and dryton wiser and secand salus smart home and third may be not sure EPH
I am interested in having this at home. But my house has one underfloor heating floor and upstairs is radiator heating system. Do i need 2 controlers? I counted about 12 zone in the entire house, but there 2 kind of heating system. Thank you so much
evohome can do up to 12 heating zones per evotouch controller. Maybe have a look at this (thesmartthermostatshop.co.uk/what-honeywell-evohome-products-do-i-need-for-my-home/) and give us an email with any other questions you have?
If I have 5 zones, do I need 5 thermostats or 4 thermostats and 1 EVO controller (is also a thermostat?)?
Personally I would never use the evohome controller as a zone thermostat when used as a multi zone controller.
Is this was added to an evohome system can it control the boiler with opentherm instead of the bdr91 I have now? I have a mix of underfloor and radiators zone valves
Any evohome system would need an R8810 OpenTherm Bridge to operate on OpenTherm. Adding the HCC100 to evohome still won’t give you OpenTherm control.
What is the opentherm output on the hcc100 used for if not that?
@@joehaskett90 as I said on the video, the HCC100 can be used as a stand alone OpenTherm UFH controller (without evohome). If you do use the HCC100 with evohome, the evohome system relies on the R8810A OpenTherm Bridge for communication with the boiler, so you don’t use the OpenTherm terminal on the HCC100.
How can I install an HCC100 when it says you need the Resideo Pro app, but you need to be a registered company to be allowed to use the App!
If you purchase this product from us we have a business login you can use to setup the device. Otherwise you will need to use a Resideo Pro - www.resideo.com/gb/en/find-a-pro/
would this also work for zoning a radiator install?
Personally I wouldn't use a HCC100 to control radiators as the operation is too slow.
Great video. My radiators run off a manifold and are controlled by electrothermic heads. With DT4M thermostats and an evohome controller I don't see how the operation would be any slower than for underfloor control. @@MWPHS
@@saxjarritt Underfloor heating control is slow to react and doesn't need the equipment to work very fast (hence thermal actuators can take 4 minutes to open/close). But if you had 4 minutes of extra heat from a radiator going into a room because the thermal actuators are slow to react, the target air temp would be overshooting marginally for sure, verses control by HR91 or HR92's.
