tado Wired Smart Thermostat - Add-On Thermostat For Multizone Control, Digital Heating Management, Easy Installation, Save Heating Energy And Costs - Replacement Of Existing Wired Thermostats

Smart control of heating systems was raised in a recent catch-up with some former work colleagues. That got me thinking. After some googling, I happened upon Tado. The reviews I saw were very positive with ease of install was a strong point. I took the plunge and ordered a wired thermostat starter kit, an add-on wired thermostat and 7 smart thermostaric radiator valves. This was to control temperatures in downstairs rooms and have the ability to turn on and off heating upstairs (second wired thermostat). Installation was effortless. The instructions for the wired thermostat were a breeze to follow. Likewise, fitting the thermostatic valves to replace the original thermostatic control units was dead easy. We've have the Tado system running for a few weeks now and are massively impressed on how well it performs. Before, we turned the heating on and off based on how hot the Living Room felt, notwithstanding having mechanical thermostatic valves on all radiators. The previous downstairs wired thermostat was at the end of the hall and unaware of air temperatures elsewhere downstairs. Often times we were enduring 25 C+ living room temperatures with an open fire and central heating both pumping in heat. Now with Tado installed, the heating is left on continuously and, thanks to the Rado smart radiator valves, the temperature is regulated to a constant, comfortable 22C. We can also turn off rooms when they are not being used with ease on the Rado app. That would not have happened in the past as it was too much hassle to go to rooms and turn the thermostatic valves to the off position. We are so impressed with its performance, that we've ordered a further 6 radiator thermostatic valves to control the upstairs radiators. Final comment - we wish we'd known about this technology before the current energy price crisis and were able to take full advantage over the past year of hight energy costs. Final final comment, our three kids are equally impressed by what they've seen and are committed to going down the same route. Can't recommend this enough.

tado° Wired Smart Thermostats. I have two wired and one wireless. The wireless is connected via the TADO bridge unit and bridge to TADO controller, which also opens hot water valve and serves a radiator zone. The two wired ones are cabled directly to my value to open and close them. I have four zones (Hot Water / Bottom floor / Middle floor / Top Floor). My two wired ones only open and close valves. Although they are on my TADO app, they are not linked to the Heating Zone / Zone Controller (Which calls the boiler), as you can only have one Thermostat linked to the Controller to call the boiler. Having more calling the boiler (via the TADO App and under Settings / Rooms & Devices / Heating Zone / Zone Controller) does not work and the (For me Zone 1 and 2) my wireless thermostat and water zone / feature on the TADO Controller fails to work anymore. My wired Tado thermostats open the valve, which when open, my boiler is called and the hot water is delivered to the radiators. If using in this manor, you should consider having at least one radiator linked to the Wired Thermostat (Via TADO / Settings / Rooms Devices / Select Wireless Thermostat and add at least one radiator). Great bit of kit that allows unlimited Zones

This might be a lengthy review but hopefully will provide an insight into my less than successful experience. I took some time looking at reviews of various smart heating systems before deciding on Tado. I spent £420 on 1 smart radiator starter kit, 1 smart thermostat and 3 smart radiator valves after consulting with Tado on the best setup for my home and required usage. I retained the hot water control via my existing programmer so didn’t need the extension kit. The items are packaged in a style and branding not dissimilar to that of Apple and although are of a plastic finish seem reasonably robust The online registration and system installation was easy and intuitive, and having a technical background I found it straightforward. I set up three zones, a living room with the smart thermostat and two smart radiator valves as recommended by Tado, a family room with 2 smart radiator valves on both radiators and 1 bedroom with a smart radiator valve. I didn’t want to invest in any more kit until I was sure that it did what Tado said it would. Connection of the internet bridge and pairing of all the components was uncomplicated as was fitting the valves, only two needed the included adapters, (on Danfoss valves.) I set the system up initially on the web interface and then downloaded the Tado App on to my iPhone. Programming the zones for different times and temperatures was simple to do either via the web interface or on the app. So with everything programmed we woke up to a cold house the next morning. The boiler had only fired for a short period. The schedule was set to warm the bedroom and family rooms before the living room which isn’t used until afternoon. Manually starting the living room by increasing the set temperature above the actual recorded temperature then enabled the other zones to warm up in line with the set-point temperatures. Thinking this might have been a one-off I left it but it did the same the next day, cold house in the morning. So it appears that the zone with the smart room thermostat in must be calling for heat before any other zone even though their smart radiator valves are calling for heat. And this is where it all goes downhill with Tado support. I tried throughout the day to call but was unable to get through, just a recording that all agents are busy and to try later (or leave a message.) So I emailed asking for help, and got a response saying that they had made changes to my system (I have no idea what, they didn’t say – and I couldn’t see any changes) to prevent the boiler short firing and not reaching full temperature on first starting and to let them know if it didn’t work. It didn’t so I replied by email but heard no more. I tried ringing but just got the same recorded message. However, they sent me a satisfaction request in dealing with the problem even though they hadn’t and still haven’t fixed it – unbelievable. I now have a response saying they are still dealing with the request for help which will take a few days more. This is not good enough Tado – I’m a new customer with a zone configuration that you recommended and it doesn’t work. Once the system does decide to start up then generally it works fine during the day although there are noticeable variations in the room temperatures before the system turns on the heating again so you can feel the temperature drop and then increase, i.e it doesn't maintain a comfortable constant temperature. You also need to check the actual room temperature with a separate thermometer agains the Tado set point temperatures and then adjust the offset on which ever device is set to monitor the room temperature. I haven’t tried the Geolocation feature yet or the relationship with Apple Homekit as I’d just like to get it working. So in summary, installation set up, programming and control in principle, very good. Functionality not so good Problem resolution and support poor. Tado if you read this I’d like a resolution please (i.d. 426017) so I can return all the items to Amazon for a refund within 30 days if you can’t fix this for me. EDIT- UPDATE. Tado have now fixed the problem remotely. I have therefore revised my rating.

Facile à programmer, faciule à utiliser, fiable, complet.

Al final me decante por comprar el sistema tado. He comprado un termostato y varias válvulas para calefactores. Su instalación es muy sencilla pero lo que mas me ha gustado ha sido el servicio de atención que tienen. En principio mi sistema no era compatible pero la comunicación con ellos es muy dinámica y me han ido respondiendo y haciendo las modificaciones que iba precisando. En definitiva, las válvulas funcionan perfectamente y no hacen ninguno de los ruidos que he leído a algunos. El tema de sus sistema web este muy bien y el tema de pago es solo si quieres que ciertas acciones sean automáticas en ved de contestar al mensaje que te aparece en el móvil. Yo tengo sin el pago y estoy muy contento. Lo he integrado a alexa sin problemas. En definitiva, muy contento.

Très bon produit, qui nous aide à économiser. Merci beaucoup. Amazon

Ich habe das erste mal meine wassergeführte Fußbodenheizung mit smarten Thermostaten ausgestattet. Da ich keine Erfahrung im Anschließen hatte, hatte ich Eingangs etwas Sorgen. Diese waren zum Glück völlig unbegründet. Das Anschließen der Theromstate ist in der App extrem gut und kleinschrittig erklärt und damit auch für Laien gut machbar. Zu den Thermostaten: vom Prinzip hervorragend, mich wundert aber die Größe. Meine alten, manuellen Geräte sind um die Hälfte kleiner und auch die Elektrik der Tado Geräte scheint nicht so viel Platz einzunehmen. Also wieso so groß? Abgesehen davon, einfach in der Bedienung, fügen sich optisch gut in den Raum ein. Zur App: Sehr aufgeräumt und übersichtlich, alle Einstellungen, die ich mir wünsche, kann ich problemlos ohne Suchen nach der Funktion vornehmen. Bin gespannt auf den ersten Energie-Report. Besonders hilfreich finde ich die Anzeige des Temperaturverlaufs, wo auch gezeigt wird, wie stark wann geheizt wurde. Gesamtfunktion: Alles super, nur eine Sache hat deutlich Verbesserungspotenzial. Wenn ich einstelle, dass ich um 8:00 21 Grad haben will, kann Tado nicht die Heizkurve meiner Heizung adaptieren. Dadurch ist es immer erst 2h später auf der Zieltemparatur. Ich dachte das bräuchte ein paar Tage, aber dem scheint nicht so zu sein bisher. Eigentlich wäre es gar nicht so schwer, die benötigte Heizkurve zu berechnen… hoffentlich wird das bald nachgerüstet.

Compre el kit de inicio v3 y 5 termostatos adicionales para mi casa que tengo suelo radiante con 6 circuitos con caldera individual vaillant. Tenia miedo a que la instalacion cableada fuera complicado de vincular todo. Tambien pensaba q el bridge no llegaria a las 2 plantas de la casa x la distancia. Todo lo contrario...facil de instalar, hay q seleccionar un circuito para cada electrovalvula HC01, HC02...etc Estamos encantados de controlar toda la casa desde el movil. Lo recomiendo 100%. Los compre en el black friday x 80 eurs cada uno, buena oferta
