Hi, we have an electric heater plugged into a standard 240v supply. Can Tado be installed without a boiler/heating system? I’m looking to use IFTTT to retrieve the current and desired temperature from a smart thermostat then activate a smart plug action to turn the socket on or off. Thanks

    Hello,

    Interesting question. All a wireless receiver really does is take power in, and when it receives a signal from the wireless thermostat, sends power out.. or cuts power... Doesn't it..?

    If you have a look at some wiring diagrams that could be the key to your idea working.

    I am in no way endorsing this idea as I would only ever advise using these items as they are intended and installing them in accordance with any and all instructions. Only ever have a competent person install these things.

    Stay safe.
