Thanks for choosing an evohome Wireless Radiator
Zoning Kit. By adding Wireless Radiator Zoning Kits
to your evohome system you are creating smart
zones which means more comfort, more control
and savings of up to 40% on heating your home*.

Energy savings by smart zoning

Heating the whole house as one zone is like
turning all your lights on from one switch. With
an evohome Connected Pack and a Wireless

1Installation & User Guide

Radiator Zoning Kit on each radiator you can
divide your home into separate areas based on
your lifestyle, so you only need to heat areas
depending on when and where you spend time.

Working with zones

A zone can be one room or a number of rooms. For
example you may want to group all of your bedrooms
as one zone and control them together. Alternatively,
if you have several radiators in a single room or
open space, they can be grouped into a single zone
so you don’t need to control them individually.

*Source: Energy Saving Research Unit (ESRU), Strathclyde University 2013 & TACMA 2013 - Energy savings quoted were calculated

using a 3 bedroom, 2 level home, located in the UK, modelling a family of 4 over a typical week’s activity, comparing an evohome smart

zoning system, with recommended settings, to a system comprising of a simple timer, single non-programmable room thermostat and

no Thermostatic radiator valves. Individual Energy savings gained are dependent upon existing controls, environment and lifestyle.

Kits to an evohome Connected Pack you need to power
up the Radiator Controllers and then bind them to the
evohome Controller using the ‘Installation Menu’.

It may be easier to power up and bind the

Radiator Controllers while they are close to
the evohome Controller – you can install
them in their assigned zones later.

When you bind a Radiator Controller to the
evohome Controller it permanently stores the
connection and there should never be a need
to rebind them even after a power cut.
