TADO Smart Radiator Thermostat Starter Kit - Vertical/Horizontal £138/£139 after £40 off @ Currys and Ebay Currys (vertical only) (works with Nest and Hive)

Not sure how it works with Nest or Hive, different ecosystems

Why do you say that it works with Nest or Hive? This is, basically, same thing. Does Nest works with Hive, for example?

It's not the same thing. These are TRVs ,using them would give you zone control.
As for working with Nest or Hive, you just like the 2 "eco systems" like you would with most other IoT systems.

I highly rate Tado over Hive or Nest. It's more suited to larger homes tho, we have Tado TRVs in every room and have saved £££s by only heating the rooms that need it at certain times of the day; bedrooms at night, kitchen & breakfast room in morning, games room, living room, dining room in evening etc. The TRVs also report the Humidity which is handy in the bathrooms - using IFTTT you could trigger an extractor fan to come on for example rather than run it constantly with a light switch.

No, as Tado TRV would not be able to request heat from Nest.

I know what they are, as I have full Tado setup.

I beg to to differ. Like I said they can be connected via 3rd party such as IFTTT. I know for fact that smart TRVs like Tado, Energinie etc. Can via IFTTT request the nest thermostat to call for heat.

Looks like quite a dirty solution. It that case, why just not add Tado Thermostat (to control the boiler directly) for approximately £95-100 and have a clean setup?
