Summer eco
Options
Is there a summer eco setting or can we have a summer eco setting?
This could work really simple with one on/off toggle like the “Early On” feature (Early on known to us in the industry as weather optimisation).
How this could work is the end user could turn on/off summer eco. when on you could set your own summer eco temp I.e. to say 20C, if the outside temperature was above 20C the central heating would not come on when any of the TADOs ask for heat, and therefore not use the boiler and save on energy. It would not effect hot water control that should be allowed to operate as required. (Boost could possibly override this summer eco if needed and you could always increase summer eco to 22C if you are regularly boosting in the summer with the summer eco on)
This would be most useful with summer just around the corner.😁
You have a weather adaptation which is not fully explained but I presume this would not stop it from working at higher outside air temps like summer eco would only adjust how the sensors work on a PID or alike.
Keep up the good work TADO👍

To add to this, if you create a specific summer schedule, first pick a different kind of schedule here ('scheduled days'). So you can switch between your summer and winter schedule with only 2 clicks.

Thanks for that advice. Is it possible then to have two different schedules for one room? One active/one not?0

Each room has 3 different schedules, and you pick one to be active. One of those schedules is only a 24HR schedule, but it's okay for the start/end of the heating season when you only need a little bit of heat.

The “different schedule” is not a solution :( It’s super messy solution! I have 7 valves + thermostat. In 4 rooms I have Mon-Sun schedule as I’m mostly all day at home. My son wakes up early for school so he has extra heating for his room, wardrobe and bathroom in the morning during week (+ different heat on times for afternoon in his room) and Mon-Sun I use for him when he has holidays or just stays at home when he’s ill. Now I had to create Mon-Fri/Sat-Sun as in starting summer is still cold in the morning but quite warm in the afternoon. The individual schedule I have in winter can’t be used anymore as it’s super hot inside his room (and bathroom and wardrobe) and when he opens window to cool down (evening) the stupid Tado starts to heat :/ 22 in summer isn’t the same as 22 in winter. So now I have super mess in all schedules and I always have to control which schedule is the right for which room for summer or winter. I’m happy I don’t have more valves! Would be so simple - winter/summer mode!0
