Hello,

We are remodelling our bathroom and would like Tado control over our electric under floor heating, dual fuel towel radiator and electric towel radiator. What's the best method?

Under floor - I believe there is a Tado kit for this, but does it work with electric heating?

Dual Fuel Towel Radiator - I believe I could add a TCV here, but should I? Maybe not as it makes sense to warm this radiator whenever the heating it on to dry the towels

Electric Towel Radiator - I would like to control this via Tado, can it be connected to a Tado thermostat?

Thanks,

    You cannot directly switch resistive heating appliances (electric underfloor heating / electric towel rail) with a tadoº thermostat or wireless receiver as the maximum current they can handle is 3 Amps.

    I guess you could use the tadoº device to switch a relay which was capable of managing a heavier current . . .

    I agree. You'll need an electrician to set up a small box that handles the power feed to those devices, and which uses the wired tado stat as the switch for the relay. The relay then switches on the rest.
