Use wired add-on smart thermostat as Wireless Temperature Sensor
Hello,
I'm struggling to get hold of an add-on Wireless Temperature Sensor, and support at Tado has been anything but incapable of offering more than 2 sentences.
It's been out of stock since November 2024, and I can't buy it from other retailers either. I also interested in purchasing from the Tado official site because our energy supplier offers a significant discount on all V3 products. I'm concerned they will eventually discontinue all V3 products, and I'm getting no answers – I'd rather purchase now than later when all my existing Tado products are no longer sold.
So, I'm trying to get creative with my options:
1. Can I buy a Wired Add-on smart thermostat (which is in stock) and use it as a wireless temperature sensor? I know this is a strange question, but according to Gemini, I can.
2. Can I buy a starter kit and use the Wireless smart thermostat as an add-on temperature sensor?
Thanks!

I just searched for a WTS and immediately got 3 outlets with stock lowest at £59 (new)

@Xenia Several reputable outlets: John Lewis, Amazon, Screwfix. You could purchase a V3+ wireless starter kit and just use the Wireless temperature sensor as an add-on. As an alternative, an unmounted Tado TRV can act as the wireless temperature sensor for the Room.
Although X is the new range, it doesn't do everything that V3+ can do. No indication from my contacts that Tado intend to discontinue the V3+ range any time soon.

I have also been trying to purchase a couple of Add On Wireless Temperature Sensors directly from Tado for some months (due to energy supplier discount code), but always shown as 'sold out'. The VERY irritating thing for me is that Tado cannot provide any indication when these will be available again which I find unacceptable. I only installed the system last year so these availability problems concern me.
