Replace programmable thermostat or wireless receiver?

Hi there,

I have a Boss Therm BR1 wireless thermostat receiver as well as a Boss Therm BUP2 programmable thermostat.

Both are next to the boiler.

Could someone please confirm which I should replace with the tado wireless receiver as I see them both in the instruction list within the app?

Thanks

  • The BUP2 is a 7 day programmable timer, it is not a thermostat. The Tado wireless receiver is effectively a 7 day timer and wireless receiver rolled into one, so it will replace both the BR1 & BUP2. Somewhere in your home you will have a Boss temperature sensor linked to the BR1 which you will have to replace with the Tado temperature sensor.

    When it comes to installation the Tado wireless receiver will use the wires connected to the BUP2. And you will need to "Bridge" the wires in the BR1. See the second part of this help article (Bridging the Receiver) for more info on converting your current setup.
