add-on wireless temp sensor or add-on smart thermostat?
quick question.
i have a tado sytem already in place (uk combi boiler), controlling just heating 1 zone.
3 rads with smart trvs.
smart thermostat running as a wireless temp sensor.
i want to add a wirless temp sensor in the other 2 rooms that only have the smart TRVs for better/more accurate temps.
on the store they have a "Add-on Wireless Temperature Sensor" and a "Add-on Smart Thermostat" (both at the same price currently).
is it correct that i just need the "Add-on Wireless Temperature Sensor" ?

Yes it does. Both can do the same job, the wired thermostat can also switch stuff, if you need that to happen. Your call really.

Do I understand this right? You want to add wireless wall sensors to help overcome the variance in the smart radiator thermostats? If so, the device you seek is a Wireless Temp sensor. It becomes the controller for the room you want, and then refers to the main controller, likely a wired Smart Stat to handle the boiler for it.
Usually in Tado parlance, the thing they call a thermostat is actually a Smart Wired Thermostat and we use it physically connect either to the boiler to manage it, or to a zone valve (when not a combi) - whereas the thing called Temperature Sensor is the same, but in practice doesnt have the capacity to physically wire in control of something else.

The smart thermostat actually also works wirelessly as I currently use one in that mode0
