I invested in the Evohome setup a year or so ago, (just before home kit was announced), but I'm a massive fanboy of Apple (or any other one-system fits all) so I've started looking at options for a single all-compatible solution for my home and I must say, I'm not that impressed by what's around for the non-super-technical, there is no real direction one can go for control that doesn't require several Apps and I have a passionate dislike for products that are plug and play like wifi plug controllers. I want my home to look smart as well as be smart so if it isn't hidden, I'm not interested.
Anyway, my specific question relating to heating. With the Evohome not being compatible due to a lack of Apple Home Kit chip, is there an alternative controller from Honeywell that can control the TRVs I have (Lyric?) or are Honeywell likely to produce another controller that can be a hot swap for the non Home Kit version do you think?
