Hi All !

I am recently moved to a new build, which has a combi boiler. There are 2 heating zones, one on ground floor, and the other one on the first floor. I want to put Smart Ratidators to control heating for each radiator individually.

I am newbiee here… don't know lot of stuff. Can someone help me with all stuff I need to buy to setup smart radiator thermostat ? Will putting Smart Radiator Thermostat on my rads will help me to control them each Radiator? Or do I need to buy Wireless Smart Thermostat as well ?

    Hello @inderjangid and @wiimixer,

    If this is your first time using tado° (meaning, you're starting 'from scratch'), your best bet is to get a 'Starter Kit' and add-on devices based on your individual needs. This is because 'Starter Kits' include an Internet Bridge, which is (in most cases) needed for devices to communicate with each other.

    ( I say 'in most cases' because tado° has recently released a new line of products called tado° X. These don't necessarily need a bridge due to the fact they work with Thread and Matter technology. However, I don't want to get too ahead of myself here because these are a lot of details that you might find more confusing than helpful. Let's just assume that, for you guys, an Internet Bridge is needed).

    Now, you have decide whether you want tado° X or V3+. These are 2 disctinct generations that are not compatible. tado° X is well suited for people with large homes who also want to benefit from the new Thread and Matter technology to optimize their third party smart home systems. V3+ is our tried and true generation that has been on the market since 2019 and works for 'normal' sized homes and can also have some integrations with third party smart home systems.

    Once you decide which generation you want, you can contact tado° support via live chat and check your current heating set-up's compatibility with tado°. Support can also provide you a list of devices to purchase to replace your current thermostats. Make sure to perform this compatibility check before purchase.

    We have the same scenario: new build (though 5 years old now), combo boiler, two heating zones.

    Someone might have a different/better solution, but our tado setup involves TWO room stats (one bedroom, one hallway) then four TRVs for principle rooms - excluding the bedroom with the room stat.

    This way we’re still able to control the secondary (bedroom) circuit independently.

    Happy to answer any Qs!
