Tado X - Month 2 Review / Feedback Needed.

Hello,

Having been a Tado customer for 4-5yrs, and vocal about the lack of additional bridge support for the v2/3 platform, i jumped on the opportunity to upgrade to X to finally solve connectivity issues around my home.

Now that i've been using X for 2 months, here is an honest summary of my experience, and some issues i'm having.

Good

  • Love the new design and the re-chargeable batteries. Cant comment yet of the life span between charges, but not had any issues yet.
  • Connectivity woes are finally gone - no more going into the office being 5c,

Bad

  • Total headache moving the home from the v2 to X using my existing login credentials. App kept crashing so i finally gave up had to create a new login account and start from scratch.
  • Set up was a pain the arse - more often the smart values took2/3 attempts to pair.
  • Silent - no they are not. 5/11 of my values are as noisy as v2.

Ugly

  • Quality of the mechanical dial is rubbish. Of the 11 values I have, 5 of them feel looser then the others, with the rest being quiet tight to turn
  • Latency between spinning the dial and display changing is my very high, meaning it is challenging to dial in a temp quickly without overshooting the temp you need.
  • Matter linking is very inconsistent - post setup some devices had it other didnt, meaning i had to start again and factory reset on those which didn't.
  • Sporadic 'maintenance' mode appearing on 2 of my values despite multiple resets, reseating etc.

    Hi, I installed the Tado x just two days ago. Already I see that there is a bug to do with the WiFi LEDs.
    I also note that the heating is overshooting. The setting is 18.0 but the actual temp is up to 18.5 and the system is still running the boiler for more heat. Is this a bug? What hysteresis is implemented and can it be adjusted?
    Since my heating system will be different to other installations, I assume the PID controller gains are started at a default and will converge to a stable set of gains based on the learn algorithm?
    Will the controller gains continue to optimise even after the auto assist trial expires?
    Any help on this overshooting will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
