How to supply power to the EU opentherm receiver in UK?
As title states, how could one supply power/wired the EU opentherm wireless receiver in the UK for modulation?
I understand it comes with EU plug already attached according to the description.
I have three basic ideas, though one may not be all that smart/safe, idk 😂
1. Just use an EU to UK plug adaptor.
2. Actually have the plug replaced, though I don't know if this is actually something I can do myself or not.
3. Just take the plug off and wire the wires for power to the corresponding connections on the boiler and then have the two cables run along side these for + - going to the EMS connections on my boiler.
Or am I just over thinking this completely and dont actually need to supply power when using the digital connections? 😂😂
I have a Worcester Greenstar 30i Combi, which based on what I've read, while not opentherm compatible, does have an EMS bus that Tado can understand.
Any advice would be great!

The simplest solution is to add an EU to UK adaptor, and fit it to a socket which has an on off switch. The EU receiver should be able to handle the EMS-BUS - Tado calls it the HT-BUS. From reading your notes you arent comfortable with wiring - and if you really arent are you open to having a professional electrician come over to install the cabling?
When you've decided, it is worth searching on this community for your boiler and you'll find lots of examples where the wiring process is defined - it does need thinking through.
Have Tado provided you with the instructions to fit your kit to the boiler and thermostat?
