Tado X wireless receiver without internet connection

Hello,

I just bought the Wireless Smart Thermostat X starter kit (Wireless Receiver X +  Wireless Temperature Sensor X) with some smart radiator valves and I thought that without an internet connection they would just follow the normal schedule.

But I tried and even if the valves and the wireless thermostat can talk to each other just fine without internet, the Wireless receiver X (which is the one actually connected to the boiler) doesn't engage heat mode so the boiler doesn't start even if one of the thermostats asks for it.

I connected first the thermostat and the valves with matter to a Homey Pro because I already use it as a thread border router for other devices and then added them to the tado app with the qr code just fine but the wireless receiver X doesn't have any matter QR code to use it to pair to another thread border router.

Is that the reason why without internet they cannot communicate with the wireless receiver?

    I am interested in this question too. I couldn't find a Tado X specific answer to this question, but I think there is some information from Tado v3 that I suspect is still relevant.

    So far I interpret that the Tado scheduling and overall control is done remotely and therefore needs Internet connection. I saw one comment somewhere about a tentative/future/possibility of having offline scheduling control, but having seen nothing further I wonder if that is happening any time soon or not? Can anyone confirm or correct?

    This thread talks about installation and the mobile app, but I don't think addresses the thermostat to Wireless Receiver question you are asking: (deliberately putting as plain text, not expanded to hyperlinks to avoid the delay for manual moderation of links in community forum posts)

    These articles and discussions are from Tado v3, but I suspect the overall Tado scheduling and control mechanisms is probably same/similar for Tado X:
