I don't have underfloor heating, but tado say that you can use their smart thermostat on underfloor heating systems (one per circuit, as I understand) - it would be a smart on/off, and wouldn't call the boiler (unless it's a water system)
For the rads, you just chuck on a smart TRV, and it treats each area as a separate zone - when it's triggered, it calls the boiler independently of nay other thermostat
Starter pack (although there's more than one) is one thermostat, the extension kit (the bit attached to the boiler that receives signals from the TRVs / thermostats, and that turns the boiler on and off for heating (& hot water if it's a system boiler)), and the bridge (that attaches to your router)
You need at a minimum to have:
1 - extension kit
2 - bridge
3 - at least one smart thermostat or one trvTRVs on each rad would seem to make sense , in which case you don;t need a room thermostat (what would happen then is that the room thermostat would call the boiler, and you would have a boiler trying to heat the room by the pipes alone, as no rads have been opened. then you just get leaks).
As underfloor isn't something you want to be changing all the time, I don't see much mileage in smart thermostats for it. In our old kitchen we would turn it on for winter, off for summer, and one button press whenever we were away for more than a few days.

Could someone with Tado help me with what I would need? Confused with the starter packs etc.
What I need to control is:
Ground Floor:
Two large zones (kitchen and then front room and hallway) all underfloor heating
1st floor:
Two rooms with 1 radiator, bathroom with electric underfloor heating. Boiler in the bathroom.
2nd floor:
One radiators
Looking at the WiFi thermostatic valves for the rads but what for the underfloor heating areas? And what comes in a starter pack?
