Add another heating source to the app
Hi,
I’ve recently installed Tado kit in my house on all the radiators. The house itself is quite old and we live in a village that has no gas, so we must use heating oil (kerosene). This is delivered periodically into a storage tank that has a maximum capacity of 1400 litres.
It would be great if we had a unit of measure “litres”, as it will help me determine if I’m really saving any money by using Tado. It has been suggested that I convert it to cubic metres, but I will loose the necessary accuracy to do the calculations justice. I don’t know for sure if the calculation will go down to that level of detail as I have not tried to use m3 in the app as yet. 1.4 m3 used over 75 to 100 days in winter makes daily calculations a nonsense.

We use kWh for our energy measurements and calculations. Anything else adds an unnecessary level of complexity.

Do you have a tank monitor, we have this one https://www.fueltankshop.co.uk/watchman-sonic-advanced-with-usb-receiver/p7461 as it sends tank readings to an app on our phone daily.
Unfortunately I don't think there is any other way because the boiler isn't capable of this.

Hi Cuke2u,
Apologies for the late response, I did in fact get Watchman Sonic USB unit. It works OK, but I’m now waiting for them to add my specific tank to the system as it is useless as far as usage and balance is concerned without that.0
