Does OpenTherm allow the radiators to heat a room quickly?
I have just had a new boiler installed and was planning to get my existing Tado (extension kit, room thermostat and smart TRVs) hooked up to it via OpenTherm rather than relay. My installer cautioned that other clients of his (not using Tado) found that using OpenTherm resulted in their radiators being always lukewarm and…

Opentherm and power supply for Tado Extension Kit
Hi all, I decided to try to use Tado smart thermostats. My current setup with an existing thermostat is simple 24V on/off control. My boiler supports support OpenTherm connection though. Will it make any difference by connecting Tado Extension Kit via OpenTherm or it's better to stay with existing low voltage connection…

App Colours
Can someone explain the colours for the thermostat and rad valves, some say temperature set say 19 and show as green, but then some show set 19 and still show red/ orange or whatever colour it is. I would presume as soon as it reaches the set temperature it would show as green.

House Thermostat vs Room TRV
Hi all Quick newbie type question: If the thermostat is set to a low temp not requiring heat from the boiler but a trv is set to a higher temperature, I assume that the boiler fires to heat the rad requiring it or is it overridden by the house thermostat? Thanks Chris

Manual Control via App
Why cannot I interactively select which of the 3 available setting option for manual control at the time of setting temperature?

Does Smart AC on heating always change to swing mode after adjusting temperature?
Hi, does someone know if smart AC on heating (using non-thermostatic mode) always change to swing mode after adjusting temperature? Or is this different per command set or per AC?

What adapter should I get?
I'm trying to install a forth tado radiator thermostat, but non of the adapters seem to work. I send photos of the valve to tado's support together with my assumption that it might be M28 x 1.5 valve. They didn't even look at the photos to confirm if the valve is actually this size and just asked how many of the adapters…

Multiple Boilers
Can Tado be installed to service two boilers in the same property. So two smart thermostats with hot water control and run from the same acct? Has anyone done this? Was thinking could setup each on a separate bridge but set each one up with the other powered off ?

Radiators with VERTICAL Smart Thermostatic Valves
Hi my set up is pretty simple.

They are shutting down because they believe…

Comments on Tado from a first time user
Hi, I'm new to Tado. I'm in the UK, it's a bit parky at the moment, and we've had Tado installed for two nights. I've quickly reached the conclusion that the radiator thermostatic valves are essentially pointless without a separate temperature sensor controlling them. Last night i had the 3 radiators in our room set to…
