  • Hello @cragfast, you can already do that. Go to app, select the device of the secondary room, select area controller, and say that the device is stand alone. By unlinking the device from the area controller (in simple scenarios the main thermostat), it will not be able to turn heating on; while it will continue to open and close the radiator valve according to programmed temperature and ambient temperature. If there is heat on the pipes (because other device connected to the area controller turned heating on), then it will flow through the secondary room. Otherwise, no.
  • Hello @GrayDav4276 , really apologize.
    My only excuse is that I'm rather new on the forum, and that I was directly forwarded to the post page by the support team. Fully agree on your suggestion. For sure I'm going to search for the already opened one to upvote it.
    Thanks s lot for the advice.

    @PaulMainstone Have you not set the room to 'until next auto change'? Settings>Rooms & Devices>select room arrow.

  • I agree with all you, but I have another idea, not based on tolerance but in prediction.
    Is supposed that tado use PID prediction algorithm. Then it would be possible to sync some zones that are in the descendant ramp of the measure temperature to be heated at the same time.
    Other factor is pump running time. My boiler keeps the pump on some minutes after the boiler ir off, and there is hot water in the circuit that can be reused without the need to start the boiler again. I would suggest to have a sensor on the output pipe of the boiler that can be used to determine if boiler needs to be powered on.
  • When changing the temperature through the tado app the thermostat does a nice animation to let you know that the temperature has been changed, but when you do it through the home app it doesn’t do the animation.
  • Graph to show how long and what times the boiler was on and off on a particular day would be really usefull
  • This is what I am hoping to get too. I don't need all access on the watch, just the possibility to say yes or no to the Window detection and the home/away notification. So Yes please!!

  • Ah thanks - i didn't spot that!

  • I would go one step further and expect a connected device like a tado to constantly monitor, analyze and improve. It shouldn't be too hard to learn from heating a room how long it takes and take into account things like humidity and outside influences

  • I would like to have this one too.

  • Please bring back telephone support!! Two days ago, I posted a request for information, on the online chat, regarding adding a thermostat and three temperature sensors. I still have not had a reply. In fact, it is still marked as “Unseen”!

    For such a well known brand, this level of customer support is dire!

    Bring back the phone lines, so that old and new customers, can get fast answers!!
  • Air comfort keeps insisting the bedrooms are too cold even when they are 20°C which is above the Tado recommended maximum.

    It assesses them as living rooms and expects living room temperatures.

    It would be great to be able to label the rooms as bedrooms so that the correct temperatures are expected and Air Comfort can report more accurately.

  • I didn't spot:

    Reduce the comfort temperature range to 18-21°c

    which would do the same job. Or preferably user assigned comfort temperatures as has been suggested.

    Please ignore this request and upvote the other one.

  • The only times I really need to use hot water are when I am in either the bathroom or kitchen, so was thinking that I might be a cool idea to be able to enable hot water vi a motion sensor.
  • Is that as a replacement for a tap?

    @shaunfink I am afraid I am with @Montage on this one. Do you have an unusual system perchance?

  • I currently use schedules, but just think it's a cool idea to have motion sensors as well
  • I have a room with 3 smart thermostats. Would be good to see an overview of the sensors and to see activity of each / temperature breakdown etc. thx
  • I logged a support ticket due to a timing issue with my smart TRVs, where the on/off schedule time was being impacted my the time zone of my app/phone.

    Support confirmed that the system doesn’t take its time from a local time service based on the physical location - which I see as a problem when a Tado owner travels out of country and their heating starts/stops at odd times!

    My request is to have the Tado system take its time from a time service and not the device running the Tado app.
  • It'd be good to be able to save schedules, (with a name), so it would be easy to change between them, as circumstances dictate

  • Can you have a feature that simply open's the TVR but does NOT monitor the temperature.

    Child lock setting on the TVR prevents the child from changing the temperature.

    Hi,

    We are lucky enough to have a large property and as I am working from home and my partner isn't it would be cool to have certain rooms heat up for myself (e.g bedroom and office) and bathroom and lounge for her.

    Cheers

    Adi

  • Find a way to allow the kids to turn heating on, but set a max limit below 25.
  • A further thought, if you had the option for us to enter our gas bill data this would provide further information on energy efficiency. With smart meters this could even be automatic.
  • Thanks @GrayDav4276 , that is clearer.

    I therefore do think it would be nice to be able to set periods where the radiator valve is just open, but not calling for heat whereas at other times it is calling for heat - think of it as a different type of time block in the schedule page.

  • Yes, I have a holiday house. And I was thinking about fitting a full set of the smart AC controllers around 10 of them.

    Even my old "stupid" device could do this trick. Just bought a Tado, heavily disappointed it started heating my home in the middle of the night on full power, it should safe energy, not use more.

    And as @FDDRnl said it's not should be too hard to calculate with a known average delta temp/minute from historic data (so at cold days you can start a bit earlier).

  • This feature is already part of Auto-Assist under Boiler Monitoring.
