Away Mode for Individual Rooms Using Alexa? Energy saving thought.
With the cost of energy rocketing I was wondering if anyone had found a way of turning off individual room heating when no one has been in the room say for 15 minutes. I have Amazon Echo devices in many rooms and thought it might be possible to link Alexa in some way to detect if there was anyone in the room and if there…

Do I need a starter kit?
Do I need starter kit to install tado thermostats on my radiators. Can I control them directly from Alexa or a smart phone app without having a starter kit? It would make installation less expensive as I only want to control two radiators in one room at this time

Another twist on remote access
Some weeks back I had to change my Virgin Media router. After I did this I was faced with “No remote access” on every thing TAD except one TRV. I have been though every thing that Tado recommends on multiple occasions without success. What I find strange is that is one TRV says it is working & everything else says no…

Geofencing Control only working sporadically now
Hi iPhone 11p recently updated to IOS15. Within the last days I have started to enable heating again, as it is getting colder here. I have not added or deleted any time block. For each room I just pulled the temp slider to the button so it entered frost protection, and now I have just pressed the Resume Schedule button to…

Do I really need 2 starter kits?
I presently have a simple system: old Danfoss mechanical thermostat in the hall connected to a Danfoss controller with a hot water tank in the airing cupboard and heat provided by a simple on/off boiler in the kitchen. It seems that with Tado if I want to control the hot water I must buy the *wireless* starter kit, but to…

How are open windows detected?
I've installed a Tado thermostat recently and it seems to be pretty hit-and-miss when it comes to detecting open windows. I've tried opening a nearby window twice: once it detected it and once it didn't. But more interesting is that it shows several false alarms, where it detects an open window even though there has not…

Potterton boiler and Tado
I have established that my boiler, a Baxi Potterton Performa 30 HE will only work in relay (on/off) mode. Looking at the wiring diagram below, which terminals would I connect to the new version of the extension box? Tado won't tell me. When I installed my first Tado system on an older Vaillant boiler I was sent step by…

Can I "feed" the temperature value of a thermometer instead of the actual thermostat?
Hi So I have quite an issue. I am moving to a new apartment and I am installing the gas right now. I wanted to have a tado thermostat because - for me, it's the best. There was an awesome deal on amazon for the "wired version". So I ask the gas installing company and they told me that it was fine. Three weeks later (last…

"More than one device" when using Alexa to set temps.
Anyone else come across this? It's driving me mad! I have smart thermostats in most rooms and I used to be able to say "Set the hall to 18 degrees" and that's what happened. Now Alexa complains that "i found more than one device called 'hall'. Give them unique names and run discovery again". When I log into…

Can I use multiple smart thermostats?
Hello, I have the basic Tado setup with the bridge, and one smart thermostat. I keep the thermostat on my ground floor, but the difference in temperature between the floors can be quite drastic so I'm thinking if it's possible to install another one which I could keep upstairs. I'd like then for the one downstairs to…

Geofencing not switching heating off
All, Had the system about 2 years all rads on TRVs. Issue is, when I am away, the app shows away, but the heating runs in a sort of “low mode” maybe 15-17 degrees. Why doesn’t it just shut down when I am out. I used to do this, but something changed.

Tado is getting worse at tracking my location
