tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat - Quattro Pack, Add-ons for Multi-Room Control, Intelligent Heating Control

Product Information

PROBLEM: the problem is that the actuators are acting on this data, and not on what we'dd like to have as a solution (a cozy room when waking up at 6 un the morning)

The Smart Radiator Thermostats aren’t that loud, although it takes some getting used to when installed in a bedroom, as the mechanical noise of the valve moving can wake you until you get used to the sound. It’s important to remember that this setup will probably only need to be done once, with small adjustments made over time. When we initially reviewed this smart thermostat, we found it to be a little more frustrating than it needed to be with no option to easily copy one day’s, or one room’s schedule. This meant that we had to enter in the same information over and over, when it would have been far easier to set a schedule once, and then copy it across to all relevant days and rooms. View in-app reports about your heating activity, temperature and humidity profiles and the energy being saved by Tado For our test we went with a complete Tado installation consisting of a central Smart Thermostat aided by four Smart Radiator Thermostats. This would ensure that the upstairs rooms (which tend to be a lot colder than the rest of the flat) could be heated in line with the rest of the building. Open Window Detection* - lets you effortlessly turn off your heating for a short period when it notices open windows or doors

The highly rated tado° app enables you to schedule and control your heating and hot water from anywhere, as well as providing insights and reports about your home climate and showing you the energy savings made by tado°. I had the same idea and tried using the TRV as just a sensor; I’ve always wondered if disconnecting the motor would cause any error but it sounds like it doesn’t Overall from a functional perspective the Tado system is strong. Room-by-room control is effective, and integration with external ecosystems means that the system should be able to work harmoniously with the rest of your gadgets. The only big missing feature is motion-detection, but depending on how you hope to use the system this might not be a huge concern to you. Performance When you are trying to maintain a constant temp with a luke warm radiator, I can see this working somewhat. But when you are heating from cold to much warmer, and you have a glowing hot radiator and you are trying to guess room temperature by comparing 2 sensors mounted a few cm apart, I dont think this is feasible. It also features Open Window Detection, and, with the Air Comfort Skill, provides insights about air quality so you can maintain a healthier climate.

Nevertheless, if you’re prepared to invest the time it takes to learn how to use the system to its fullest, and the money it costs to equip your whole house with the hardware, then you’ll find Tado to be an investment worth making, for the environment if not directly for your own wallet. Price and availability Jacopo2 The circuit board is connected to the motor and the led display by a single small ribbon cable, flip a tab and remove, very easy to connect and disconnect.You can have a schedule for each room, where you set the desired temperature you want, the time from when the change applies, and for how long it should last. You can have the same schedule for every day, or choose to have a different schedule per day. By using the Tado system, we found that we saved just under 15% of our energy usage through the middle of winter versus our previous non-smart heating system. In comparison, Nest saved us 45% over the same period. Failing that, as others have pointed out, there's a plethora of other 3rd party smart home devices that read room temperature (I'm looking at my echo right now which is one such device). How about integrating with these if a Tado 1st party hardware solution isn't feasable? Early Start is useful, as it means that your boiler starts earlier to get your home to the right temperature for the start of a scheduled change. That means that if you set your temperature to be 19ºC at 8am, it will be this temperature when you get up, as opposed to the boiler starting at 8am. You should buy it if…
