Honeywell CM-Zone setup

[dbroms]

I am interested to speak to anybody who has installed the cm-zone equipment ( i.e hc60ng,hr80uk,cm67z) . I have installed the equipment but seem to be having a few problems

I know you posted a little while ago but .....

I've just done an install of CM-Zone in my house, I've four CM67 controllers for the eight zones in the house. Didn't think I was goin to eight zones or I might have gone for Hometronic in the first place!

Anyway, quick rundown of the system:

Seven of the zones are radiator driven using the HR80UKs. The las zone is the kickspace heater in the kitchen, the water flow to thi goes through a zone valve (2 port valve) controlled by a HC60NG.

I use the inbuilt thermostat in all of the CM67z controllers as quite few of the rads are boxed in, or it's the kickspace heater.

I have another HC60NG as the boiler controller which replaced th existing room stat.

Overall I am very impressed with the system, once it has settled down. I've turned off the optimised start for the moment as I didn't want ye another thing adding to the mix.

I might still upgrade to Hometronic, going to chat with people at th Homebuilding and Renovating show (+ Smart Home show) at the NEC to wor out costs for the upgrade, but I'm expecting c. £1500 (so not cheap!)

What's your experience?

Hometronic looks very impressive.

Do you know if it is possible to source the parts, rather than the "consult and commission" service?

Cheers

I wish, the big cost of Hometronic for me now is the commissioning cos which I haven't found a way around.

I've read the commissioning manual which is on Honeywell's web site an it's not exactly hard.

But then anybody just doing supply only would be reducing the profi margin while potentially opening themselves up to lots of agro fro less than capable people doing it themselves
