That "whole home" deal was a pretty good deal. Comes with 4 extra thermostats for £130 extra, so that's about £32.50 each.
I don't think there were any other differences? Alas, that deal is gone now, who knows if it will ever come back.
Just trying to work out what this does that the tuya stuff won't do
Yes. No other differences just those 4 extra thermostats and overall cheaper deal by around £40. I am also seriously considering but will wait for a while.
Interesting.. let us know what your conclusions are!
so far, it seems that the tuya option is more attractive. I just need to work out how viable it is ripping out the old Honeywell room thermostat.
The idea would be use it only to control the heating and leave the existing honeywell panel in there to control hot water.
Room thermostat would be swapped with a smart wifi enabled tuya thermostat that I can program and talk to via the app. Original honeywell panel would then be put onto continuous, with the new thermostat panel then running when the heating actually goes on and off.
Individual rooms/rads would then be equipped with tuya enabled TRVs, same as tado, so you still get granualar room by room heating.
The benefit of this is that my existing led strips which I plan to install in the kitchen will also run off the same app...
I have a bunch of their smart lights and would never buy them again.
It's alright if you want your heating controlled via some poorly maintained server in China. Several times I haven't been able to turn and off the lights in my home because of unreliability of these servers.
I'd rather get an option where the hub is local so there's less to depend on.
will that system work without a persistant internet connection to their servers?
Good to know! I havent come across any comments discussing their reliability.
I have some smart bulbs on order as a test. If they come out ok, then I was going to dip into heating next.
If not, then I will just move onto Wiz bulbs and look at a separate tado/hive type system and settle for two apps.
reddit comments seem to indicate if youre using the app, then they need internet access.
If connected via something like HomeAssistant, perhaps not?
They're also buggy either on the software or hardware side.
I had a light configured to come on at 5am that I removed the rule for and reset the light, but it still comes on... They're cheap rubbish and most likely a security risk.
thanks - useful to hear...I will check to see if there is away to use it without the app and look at something like HomeAutomation integration.
From a security perspective, my thought was to set up a separate DMZ wifi network that is separated from the rest of my actual home network.
Tuya recently updated their Home Assistant plug-in to allow local control, got it working myself but haven't disabled the gateway from accessing the internet so can't confirm that it is works 100% of the time if off the net
@DuddyMac interesting - how far down the Tuya path did you go ? Did you do this with heating or just lights?
A few dodgy lights I don't mind experimenting with, but the TRVs + thermostat package starts adding up esp when the valves are 10-15quid each.
just reading this on reddit, which confirms DuddyMac's comments around the HomeAssistant plugin.
reddit.com/r/s…rk/
Just lights, not comfortable trusting Tuya with my heating without more investigation.
but then you have to run and manage your own HomeAssistant server and dependant on what hardware you run HomeAssistant on you'll possibly still need a perpetual internet connection for that server.
Indeed however I run HomeAssistant on a docker image on my NAS, and I have far more trust in Synology than I do Tuya. End of the day its a balancing act, does the benefits of running the software outweigh the risk of it accessing the internet.
yeah I was going to run it off an old raspberry pi - so effectively a hub of sorts.
Mkae sure you have reliable internet access as you'll still need a persistent internet connection using a pi as it needs access to a NTP server as it doesn't have its own built in time,
yeah, not on dialup, so should be ok. But point taken - ie still reliant on being connected and cant be off grid.
Come to think of it, NTP should only be required once for the pi at bootup....it only loses its time if you power it off, no?
Even then, at least your relying on an NTP server rather than the allegedly unreliable tuya servers in China?
Anyone know if things have changed in the the last few years re: Nest/Tado working in unison?
Yep .. We installed a couple of months ago. Wireless plus 8 resistor valves. Works really well so far
I've wondered this too, it'll be very case by case dependant (house size, house type and insulation, population, people's heat preferences etc). But with energy prices at all time highs, they probably pay themselves off much quicker than ever before! It would be interesting to try and do some calculations though.
Did you follow a tutorial? This sounds interesting. We currently use smart life to control lights etc, but if I could switch to controlling from my Nas, thus would be a result.

Is there some kind of range extender for it?
Unfortunately, no original manufacturer device. Tado online advice is to reposition the hub (which fortunately I can try). They even suggest using the (expensive) smart valve as dumb TRV (!)
When originally setting it up I had to email tado and wait for something to be done at their end for it all to work properly. They had to know the exact model of boiler I think, from memory.
That took a little while to wait for. The plumber would’ve preferred to put in one of the other well known ones at the time - he was better used to them.
It’s been ok. An occasional offline moment, soon rectified. I think once I had to email them to help me with it though. Even if it does go offline, it can be controlled by the thermostat, so not too drastic.
I think nowadays people have to subscribe for the geofencing to work but as mine was supposedly included when I got it, it still seems to work for no more per month asked for.
That said, it doesn’t play well with iOS, at least since 15. It always used to before.
Tado advice is to leave the app running in the background. Didn’t have to previously. Doesn’t seem to help on mine though.
I’ve got an android phone as well - no problems at all with that one.
So is the "Tado extension kit" something else then? Sorry I'm new to all this.
I got older version of tado and this feature used to be free. Reckon it saves me money as don't need to worry about forgetting to turn heating off when I go out.
Yep. Love it.
Only downside (for me) is that in order for me to have thermostats on the radiators I'd have to replace them because they don't fit the old style (1990s type)
"Alexa heating boost!"
On mine I have the thermostat - that can be put anywhere if batteries are used in it (mine is) or it can be wired in to where for instance an original thermostat might already be fitted. Mine’s in my entrance hall - coldest place. It’s got touch controls on it so can be operated without the need to go to the app (or if the internet/tado server is off). It’s also got a setting on it that stops the heating working if there’s a window open (or in my case the front door), so heat isn’t wasted too much. That can be turned off if you don’t like it.
There’s also the extension kit. That is the other slightly bigger white coloured box shown on the pic.
Mine has one quite dim pulsing light on it. I think the newer ones have two. That needs to be wired in to the boiler and is screwed to the wall next to the boiler in my place.
The other thing I needed was the internet bridge. That’s a much smaller gadget - about the size of a lighter or lipstick I suppose, which is connected to the router by an Ethernet cable. It has some flashy lights on it, that should be constant when it’s all set up. If the internet goes off, so do they and one of them flashes for a while before sorting itself out again.
All three of those gadgets have to connect with each other wirelessly in order to work properly.
Mine is set to work with a combi boiler.
Currently have a drayton lp522 thermostat that controls hot water and heating.
