sorted byThere is one major downside though: If you want to have full access to the more advanced features (geofencing, open window detection, etc) you need to pay for a subscription that will set you back another 3 GBP per month. They still sort of work without a subscription, but instead of turning off the heating automatically when you leave the house it just gives you a notification on your phone that you need to confirm every time.
I think that this is a bit of a scam, since they don't mention this on the product page and every other manufacturer gives you these features for free...
The thing is with these you will notice the sound more as you’re not anticipating it like you do when adjusting a manual one.
I sleep less than a metre away from one and have no trouble. It’s adjusting all night too due to newborn.
The Tado app is very user friendly too.
The only downside here is that the TRVs are very expensive to purchase (£60+) so need to bear in mind if that’s what the long term aim is.
I have a Google Nest 3rd gen connected to my Viessmann boiler via opentherm which is a significant improvement over my previous on/off Honeywell thermostat.
I say I think… mine did when I installed it 4 years ago and I doubt they’ve removed the option.
As you say beneficial to run this way if your boiler supports it
A cheaper way would be something like a hue motion sensor.
You’d then need a central solution like OpenHAB/homeassistant to handle the rules.
I do similar things with some fans on my server cabinet. If the temp goes above X degrees turn on, if it falls below X degrees turn off. (Hue motion sensor, hue plug socket & OpenHAB) (edited)
As a bonus it also interfaces with my home assistant smart home control, so opens up more options.
Tado removed the OpenTherm from this wireless unit in the UK I wouldn't recommend you buy this if you have a boiler that can modulate.
There is a EU version which has OpenTherm which I will be buying only sold directly by Tado (edited)
I even asked the guy at Screwfix why it was cheaper (after buying it offcourse) but he couldn’t give me a reason.
Don't buy if you're an OVO customer as there's a good chance you can get for free.
We are happy with it. It works well, especially as it controls hot water and heating separately.
Do you need two of these full starter sets or just one of these and an additional wireless thermostat?
This is the UK Version without digital connections
EU Version (added digital connections) OpenTherm version which modulates the boiler
Vaillant boiler connections for eBus
