  • Your setup sounds a bit odd - tado needs all rads controlled, or it doesn't really work.

    Not unless I’m very much mistaken. Set up with communication from Tado. Works fine for me, just that some rads (hallways/bathroom) come on when any other room comes on. In general I’m happy with that, but would prefer them to be limited by a thermostatic valve so they don’t just blast the whole time. Bathroom has a basic trv and it never seems overly hot or cold.

    Edit - if you do find a link, that would be great. It’s a minefield and a long trip to a Wickes so want to know they have it.

    Am the same, the bathroom, halls and core of the house are on all the time on regular TRV's (one isn't as its the heatsink/always on radiator for the boiler so it doesn't go boom...?). Then each of the bedrooms, study and front room is on a tado. With an extra tado plate on the wall in the hall which we use as a kind of master 'make all place warm now please' button.

    Works really well, though you will notice that if you've got anything at all near your tado TRV it will affect the readings it gets. Offset sort of works, but would maybe put another thermometer in room about a 1m off the ground and see what it says after a few hours, adjust vs that to get it right. You can also sort of use some 'smart life/tuyo' approved wifi thermometers to feed tado with information in a sort of a round about way.

  • Interesting, I’ve been looking for a cheaper room stat that will talk to they system. Any pointers on how to get started would be very useful.
