I have Tado. It's mostly been trouble free. I had a problem with one TRV not turning off which after I opened a support ticket and went through the motions they sent a replacement.
I have lots of TRVs so lots of batteries to change every 9-12 months but it gives me the control I want, for example the guest room is currently set to very low but I can turn it up when someone is staying.
I'm using the WebKit HomeAssistant integration to control some things. That is local to my LAN, everything else needs the Tado cloud. I mostly use the app though as it is easier.
I believe fancy boilers and heat pumps can be communicated with using some sort of serial bus rather than relays. There are terminals on the Tado for that but I have no experience as my boiler is about 40 years old.

Smart thermostats. I’ve gone back through the thread and both Hive and Tado seem to be the recommended options - that still the case?
I’m finally going to replace our old analogue one that controls a condensing boiler that serves the heating and feeds a hot water tank. Moving forward this vented tank will be replaced with an unvented system and eventually a heat pump will replace the boiler. I plan to put smart TRVs on the radiators too.
Lastly, I want it to work nicely with Home Assistant.
Any likely issues with either Hive or Tado in this case?
Thanks
