Are Tado trv controllers compatible?

Hi, thinking of purchasing one of these traditional style valves for a new radiator (mainly for the colour) and wondered if the trv head (wooden dial) is replaceable with a Tado? Anyone had any experience of these. Link here

    From what I can see that’s not a trv head, it’s a standard radiator valve. You need to install the Tado head on a trv compatible base unfortunately, so I don’t think that’s going to work

    Its a thermostatic valve of some sort but like you say it looks very non standard. Will keep hunting for a brass trv that matches.

    @Vjase You can buy brass spray paint you know! A darn tad cheaper!

    Yes. All Tado apart from the bathroom (which will stay that way) and this new radiator. It’s more of a traditional style with brass fittings so wanted brass valves that are a bit in keeping.
